Leave it to a pro that knows what they are doing and has the access to the correct materials to do it right. If you insist on doing it charge three fiddy

IOR: Pass it along to someone who does it on a daily basis. There's no opportunity in a one-off, except to breath fumes and screw it up.

Leave it to a specialist who does this for a living. I've had it done for many clients, and there's lots of prep work, ventilation, technique, and it's stinky and fumes cause a headache.

You should be wearing a vapor mask. A headache is indication that you are frying brain cells.

To the OP, the materials are secondary to the prep work. If you don't do the proper prep, even the best material will fail. Call a pro, get a bid, mark it up and make some money watching and learning. :thumbsup:

Yea, we evacuated the house and it was just two of us working on the tub. We found that it was easiest to have someone mixing and someone applying.

After those two experiences I now call the big boys in to do it.

Seriously. This is a high gloss epoxy based paint applied in 6 (yes six) coats with an hvlp sprayer which must be converted to the PPS CUPS.

Equipment thats costs $$

Prep is critical. Then of course the extremely hazardous chemicals that your body CANNOT process & will give you cancer.

Pay the $500ish to have a properly trained professional do it. For your own health & sanity.
