    I am redoing our rv and have pulled so much from your videos!
    I wanted to get the same paint but the supply and demand has sent the price soaring to unreasonable prices. But not everyone is buying up boat paint.... so, I used boat paint! It is AMAZING! You would love the finish and versatility! I have redone our counters, sinks and shower! So far all on one can. I used Marine topside boat paint in white gloss ( our price in Canada was 49 but the invoice was in usd and showed 17 so really affordable). The best part is that it is self leveling so I applied with a mini roller and it came out really smooth. The finish is a hard enamel so it has made all the cheap yellow plastic in our rv look wonderful!
    Thank you for your creativity, it is inspirational!

      @@WS-by5cl I would say yes, give it a go! Just make sure to really sand the sink down so it has no slick/shiny surfaces left before painting. I really got in there with our electric sander and did hand sanding for the curved corners.
      We haven't been living in our rv (so not actively using the sinks) but we have been setting tools ect on the counters which we did with the same paint and so far it has held up! It is after all meant for boats which go in water and are walked on ( my rationalization for giving it a go :D )
      I used it on everything in our rv that needed to be painted and it has worked wonders ✨️

    I redid the bath-shower without using all those expensive products...the key is using automotive clear. You can paint the tub surface with white primer in a spray can. Then the automotive clear makes it shine and durable for decades. Look into painting cars to see how to paint clear, real pro clear, acrylic urethane, about $50 for a quart.

The reason I ask is because if I'm going to buy the tools and automotive clear, I'd like to do some other painting on the RV itself. It's 22 years old. I appreciate the advice.

    You need to use a regular bristle brush and you won’t have any of those problems. I believe the directions say to use a brush. Rollers tend to create bubbles and yeah that product breaks down foam. It’s self leveling so a normal brush isn’t going to leave streaks.

    It is a two part catalysed epoxy which is a chemical reaction that hardens the paint. You cannot use spray paint epoxy unless it has a bottom chamber for catalyst to be mixed in the can. You just put a spray paint non catalyzed paint on top of a hardened epoxy. That paint will flake off in a year.

    Word of advice, no matter what anyone tells you those shower walls are NOT waterproof they will get ruined and get mold behind them easily and you’ll have big problems! Do get fiberglass made for wet areas and cut to size then glue to the shower walls, seal with waterproof sealant. Trust me, no one has ever used that shower or it wouldn’t have looked at good. Been there don’t that lesson learned.

    2. Taping phone to the ceiling is a GREAT idea! Good view of project which was wonderful.
    3. I am going to paint my shower pan the same way and get rid of the yellow look.
    4. Always wear a $30 chemical resistant face mask when working with super toxic chemicals like this one, especially in a closed space. Your lungs are worth more than $30. Do not work without one. These are DEADLY chemicals and you will get lung cancer if you don't.
    5. Don't paint walls. That does not make them water proof. Instead, use Schluter Kerdiboard backer board or Schluter Membrane and attach that to your current wall. Then glue up with a vinyl interlocking tile called INNOVERA by PALRAM. Another similar type is Palisades (Lowes), and another one is DUMAWALL. These are lightweight vinyl tiles with a foam core, that interlock. You glue the back, and silicone caulk the grount joints with mildew resistant silicone. Cut with a blade. Add tile edging by Schluter or an aluminum type to the joints with more silicone. Done. Very waterproof and looks nice. Pick stone or marble look.
