Your vlog has reconfirmed my decision to paint my own pool and given me the extra boost to go ahead with my plans in 2 weeks. You've shared alot of great tips, so glad I came across this - thanks for sharing 👍 #dyi #noexperience #nervousbutconfident #widowwinninglol
I am about to do the same thing in the next few weeks but a fibreglass pool. Have bought all the tools needed and I shall buy the paint and megapoxy for the cracks in the next few days. Have acrow props ready to brace. Looking forward to the challenge.
Has the finish held up? Any issues? Been waiting to get my pool painted, weather has been the main issue (AZ.. its either too windy or too hot or then raining Ugh! That window of time is impt) So. think Im going to get bright lights and paint at night!)
Paint held up fine. I really recommend not painting in windy conditions. Gunl is going to fall in all over the place. Not sure if there are any downsides to painting at night...
You guys did a good job but you didn't put the primer on usually a big mistake but it all depends upon the paint and the surface God bless you again you did a good job
Thanks :) My builder got it for me, but if you google luxapool, you'll find suppliers. Alsoi believe dulux has a all in 1 product thats super easy tp use
Hey there, the paint is holding up good. Its a tedious job and great fun to do. If you can buy the paint cheap, even if u do a half arse job of it, its costs a fraction compared to paying someone to do it!
@@dressedupnatural4566 can't remember now all depends on your pool size. There are calculators for it, but the guys who sell u the pool paint should be able to tell you. Its not cheap so its best to speak with the store
So your pool tech or you don't know what that pipe was for? Don't get on him when you don't know, have you found any pool techs in your area that know?
You should have repaired the cracks with opening them up and put new plaster or a plaster patch. No cement is 100% water proof. I’m in the process of remodeling my concrete pool to save a time of money. Most important thing is to do research. I’ve done well over 50 hours of research on every step I need to do.
Thank you. Getting ready to do this exact thing. You answered a lot of questions.
You'll be awesome:)

Love your video. I got a fibre glass pool. Hope it’s not to much to do.

Great stuff!
@@TastingLife I will have to make a video like yours :)
great looking pool looks much better than it was. 2 coats, so how many total gallons. acid wash or just clean. any idea how old the plaster was.
What did you use to repair the cracks? Also, it looks as if you used epoxy paint. Did you do that over plaster? Thanks!

Hi , is it necessary or better to sand the pool before painting? We have the same surface as yours
Hey mate noice vid... where did you get the product from?
Thanks :) My builder got it for me, but if you google luxapool, you'll find suppliers. Alsoi believe dulux has a all in 1 product thats super easy tp use
You need a respirator rated for vapors when you're painting with epoxy. Safety...!
How Many gallons were needed
How much did it cost you to do your pool?
Looks like a brand new pool! Has it lasted the 2 years since you posted?
Sure has!
Why are the epoxy pool paint so expensive?
how does the pool look today?
Can I do this paint over ceramic?
I have no idea! Best find out from your pool paint store. I cant imagine why not....
Hey brother how is the paint holding up?? Would you still recommend it?
Hey there, the paint is holding up good. Its a tedious job and great fun to do. If you can buy the paint cheap, even if u do a half arse job of it, its costs a fraction compared to paying someone to do it!
How many gallons did it take?
How many days to wait to fill with water?
Oh! I cant remember anymore! But I do remember that it took AGES!
How did you drained your pool? Did you have to release the hydrostatic relieve valve? So the pool wont pop out
I used a portable pool pump, and the relieve valve was at the bottom of the pool. :)
How many gallons of paint did you use?

@@TastingLife k. Thank you. We are debating if we should paint. We have a few chipped paint places that may scratch your toes.
Once painted its smooth and almost slippery. Filling in the holes is easy
Has it held up well without the primer?
Sure has, if I recall correctly the paint we used didn't need priming.
How many total gallons used?
Cant remember exactly. I assume each manufacturer would provide different amounts?
hello you didn't do any arapong
Towns in Ghana are overrated anyway.
So your pool tech or you don't know what that pipe was for? Don't get on him when you don't know, have you found any pool techs in your area that know?
No idea, the pool tech didnt know either... dodgy outfit
@@TastingLife You could put a drain jet in it and find out where it went or maybe capped off. If you care.
If I were you I'd get the hell outta Melbourne. Better yet, get the hell outta Australia. It's shame what happened to that place.
