Bathtub Painting
So I have a claw foot tub I'd like to paint. There some paint on it already. Im going to sand it with some 100 grit, then I want to prime and paint it. My first question is I want to use Kilz primer (oil), can i use the exterior? Also If the answer is no.. can I use SW latex primer then top coat with oil. I know I can go oil primer then top with latex.. Thanks so much for your professional help.

Re: Bathtub Painting
They just did that on the last
This Old House job. The one before New Orleans. Maybe some tips there.

Re: Bathtub Painting
No
What you are proposing won't work there are some other coatings that might work, but they are best left to the pros...uh...specialists -I'm not being arrogant, as I am not one of them There's no paint that will work well Some modern modified epoxies will Those pro tub guys, they can do some great stuff

Re: Bathtub Painting
I did one in my house about 10 yrs ago(the outside). Just sanded it smooth and rattle canned it (krylon I think). Still looks great... Doesn't see much use as it's in the guest bath.

Re: Bathtub Painting
There are tub restoration pros that have spray epoxies that do a great job and hold up for years. I have seen $40 DIY kits that come with cleaner, sandpaper, epoxy, rollers, etc., but I wouldn't trust them.
