Thank you so much for this and the blog post. We just bought a used pool, and I really want to do this. So, the information you have shared is really helpful!
Glad it was helpful! I definitely would recommend this, it was so easy and made such a big difference!
This is Amazing, thank you so much for sharing this
This was so needed … Thank you ❤
Did you paint the ladder?
Thanks for sharing this! I'm so going to do this to our pool very soon!!
We didn't paint the ladder, that's how it came!
Did you paint the top rails as well or just the sides panels? Looks great btw
Sorry for the delay in responding, we only painted the side panels, the rails we left as they came.
Are the side walls you painted vynil? Looks amazing
They are metal walls!
Planning on doing this to our 18ft pool this weekend. Had a couple of quick questions though. On ours the vinyl liner is pulled over the edge of the pool so there is a little bit of it exposed on the outside wall. Is it ok to paint over that as well? Also, what size is your pool? Just curious for planning purposes for how much paint to purchase. Thanks!!
Our vinyl came up over the edge as well. I can't remember what we did with ours, either cut it shorter or tucked it up under the top rails so it wasn't visible. So we didn't paint the vinyl, so I'm not sure what would happen if you tried. It might not cover as well/last as long. Our pool is 24ft.
Curious for an update, how has the paint held up?
The one coat of paint held up well for 3 seasons. It was ready for a touch up by season 4. We did end up taking our pool down though, our kids just weren't using it enough to make it worth all the work. (They're swimmers, but need a really big pool for practice). But I would say it holds up really well, and you'd just need to touch up the paint every so often, depending how chipped the paint gets on your pool. We did a year one year update blog post that you can see here: themerrythought.com/diy/painted-swimming-pool-how-its-holding-up-one-year-later/
How's it holding up? Thanks!

How much dergees more did you get for painting it black? 🤣
