Pool Decks


I have done a couple pool decks for friends recently in some pretty crazy colors. One went with a chocolate, another in a taupe. Our local paint company here is Color Wheel. Great company, good service. They carry a product called Ultracrete that is supposed to be fine for pool decks.
I am however, still getting discoloration on the decks after they swim in the pools. Usually wll spray away with water. Think this is due to excessive chlorine on the paint?

Re: Pool Decks


If you've ever painted a kitchen any kind of strong color, you'll notice that the tone completley changes when wet, and changes back when dry.

I think this is happening and leaving some residue from pool chemicals.
