What type of paint did you use on the spray machine?
This is what I was looking for. Mine is yellowed and the finish has been scrubbed off, so I’ll be doing this. Thanks!
I like how you always put your safety first and show us how to, such as the venting etc. Great job!
Whats the fun in venting?! sheesh!
i noticed a lot of products listed that you may or may not used but like fiberglass resin as well as fiberglass cloth ,that is a lot more involved than you show in the video
Thank you for taking the time to make an informative video!
That was very polite!
Good video but you left out an important step, what type of paint do you use?
Thank you for sharing this. What kind of paint did you put on?
Hi there can you please tell me what type and brand did you use to spray paint 3-4 coats?
Thank you in advance.
Wow! That looks so good, good job Danny
What kind of paint were you spraying w/ the Flexio? Looks like a great project. Please identify that paint tho.
For DIYers you can use Krylon Tub and Tile! For professionals you can use Resurface Solutions
You said in the video you were spraying Flex-Seal. So are you now saying you used something different?
@@robinhardison5817 Flexio was the name of the spray gun he was using. He didn't say in the video what paint he was spraying.
The most important question is what did you use for the top coat?
I'm curious also.
Would love to know if you can just touch up using flex seal BEFORE shower base gets nasty. At some point the base of the shower was bleached and its becoming harder and harder to get clean. I can still get it clean but Can I just flex seal it after cleaning?
Enjoyed watching this!
I would only use Marine Paint for fiberglass boats. You will never have to do this job ever again if you do it properly the first time. By "properly" I mean that you remove ALL previous paint if any, and you follow the instructions on the paint can and use high quality paint brushes and rollers.
If you had to put foam below for support. What product would you use? Thx!
I have a very nicely tiled shower ... and a very ugly fiberglass pan. It would be a very big job to remove it and replace with tile. In addition to spraying white, have you sprayed other colors and are there any other methods of creating a tile-like surface? Thanks
Thank you. This was very helpful.
Glad you enjoyed
what is the best primer and paint to use?
Thank you! I’m in a rental and wonder if my landlord would notice if I revitalized the horribly stained up old shower pan. 😂
Looks amazing 🤩
Great work brother, how much does a job like this cost? I have a shower with similar dimensions which I would like to fix.
So what was the rustoleum appliance paint for?
WoW! Great video how much does it cost?
What paint did you use at the end ?
Please help, my Bondo high bond started lifting from my primed tub. Looked fine as it was applied but after 4 hr, I see lifting on 1/4 of the perimeter of patch. I used entire qt and worked with 3 -4 in wide mix at a time and used the material in this video:(
Was sanded with 120 grit before the 123primer.
Great channel sir!!
Thanks Moises!
Nice videos thanks for sharing, what kind of respirator cartridges you recommend to prevent fumes inhalation?
I use 3M Respirator 6212 with NIOSH 6100 cartridges and 5P71 filters
Danny you really do amazing work. I wonder do you advertise or is your business word of mouth? Do the places that have the supplies available to the public have your card and refer you? Maybe you get some jobs from here. I grew up in a family of painting contractors. The business passed down from my. Great Grandpa,, to my Grandpa, then my Dad and now my brother in law. The interesting this is. It always passed to son in laws not sons. So, I am curious about your business. I adore your work I wish you were closer I could use you in my shower. I have been considering switching it out for a little walk-in tub. I will be looking forward to your next video until then I am keeping you and your's in my thoughts and prayers please stay safe, take care and God bless!
This channel is not for business! I do a separate business marketing. This is completely separate.
DP Tubs & Home Repair: Oh yes I understand that I just was wondering about how you advertise. You are so very good that it peeked my curiosity. My family business was always in the phone book and the paint stores might refer someone but it was mostly just word of mouth. So I was just wondering, I didn't think that was what you were doing here at all.
start to finish... how long might a job like this take?
My shower like this has like a flower design I guess to guide the water to the drain or whatever so how would this work for that
The same! Just have to make sure to clean out those small channels really well and spray primer and top coat just as I did in this video.
Looks fantastic! I need to repair the bottom of my 40 year old fiberglass tub/shower. It has some surface cracks on the bottom. I've watched all of your videos and I want to give it a try. I'm just stuck on finding matching paint. Where would you reccomend I look for sand/tan color?
To match a fiberglass unit there is a rust oleum spray called Satin Shell White at Home Depot...try that! Otherwise go online and look up Homax Tub and Tile Bisquit.
@@DPTubs Thanks so much! I'll check home depot tomorrow 🙂
@@DPTubshey what do you do when theres silicone/caulk where the pan/ tub meets wall ? Do you remove it before painting? What's your easiest fastest method to remove that silicone?
Try cleaning it with Easy-Off Fume Free oven cleaner, the blue can, not the yellow one.
I have a tub that’s flaking. Should I sand it first? I don’t think it’s been glazed before
Most original tubs do not flake. If it is flaking I would assume it has been coated before. Send a picture of the tub to me in my email and I can help you decide how to handle it.
@@DPTubs Thanks will do!
@@DPTubs what’s the email?
What product do you use to reglaze
Great video, need to tackle my shower pan issue. Question about the wagner flexio paint sprayer, is there a cheaper option like canned spray paint or do you have to use a paint sprayer to get this type of job done?
You can try Homax tub and tile or Rustoleum tub and tile but the quality of the finish is not as good. You also need to make sure you spray a thick enough coating.
What product was used in the spray gun for the refinishing?
Resurface Solutions
Could you please tell me the exact Wagner gun setup u have here,thanks
Flexio
What type/kind of paint was that? Is using a spray gun the only way to apply that paint?
You can roll it but it’s not as uniform and smooth. Krylon Tub and Tile two part epoxy
You did not say what kind of final paint you used unless I missed it??????
I use a product called resurface solutions
can't hear you over the music playing
Which brand paint and primer
Nice Video. What settings do you use on your Wagner Flexio for applying Krylon Tub and Tile 2 part Epoxy?
I have it on setting 4 with high air pressure for first coat and then 6 with high air pressure after that for next 2-3 coats.
Nice
Please explain what paint product used for the airless gun,... any thinning process... Also, what primer is recommed to adhesion properties.
I only use an HVLP spray system. I’m not sure what would be considered for an airless system
Hey 👋 Danny I am also a tub& tile refinisher and I am so ready to star my own business but all I need is we’re to buy my paint. I want to buy it from Midwest chemicals but I think they don’t just sell it. I think you need to have some type of license right?? Pls let me know thank you 🙏
Yes! You can call and talk to them and let them know you are starting out. Or try another company that has great coatings called Resurface Solutions. If you want easy over the counter Tub and Tile kit you can get Krylon Tub and Tile from Sherwin Williams
Thank you 🙏
Is that Zinsser 123 primer the water based or oil based veriety?
So a regular paint sprayer works for this?
HVLP....You can use the Wagner Flexio for DIY users, may be more affordable, or you can get a Titan Capspray 75 HVLP for more professional use.
How does the Krylon compare to NAPCO in your opinion?
I haven’t had much experience with Napco White. As far as comparing to Midwest Chemicals...Krylon is easier to work with when spraying but Midwest I feel is a stronger product. However, Midwest overspray gets everywhere and is super sticky. Krylon is nice and thick and I like how they sell an aerosol spray for touch ups.
A pan like this one is 200 dollars new? What do you charge to do this?
Possibly but you would have to take out the walls around it too to get the old one out
Thanks for the great videos, huge fan. My question is , that Wagner sprayer you are using looks like the Wagner 350 HVLP Handheld Sprayer $99 dollars and not the Wagner Flexio $159.. Can you please verified .. Thanks.
I have both but I mainly use a Titan Capspray Maxim II ...if you are DIY I would use either Wagner.
@@DPTubs You are the best.. thanks
Oh wow. Want to come do mine? Lol
If you’re in Vegas I definitely can.
What kind of pain do you use ?
Resurface Solutions
On average how long does reglazing usually last on a tub or shower pan before it needs to be reglazed again?
I give a two year workmanship warranty but if taken care of properly, cleaned regularly you will see it last 5 years and up.
What product did you spray on the pan ?
I heard 5-10 years
Thanks but you only showed the primer not the brand of paint
He shud have clearly listed all products in description
Maybe one day! Or maybe I will write and ebook and you can buy it!
@@DPTubs buy my stuff - more valuable
How much do you charge for this?
About $250-$300
👍🏻👍🏻
Paint brand?
Resurface Solutions
Isn't that slippery when it is reglazed?
No! Not any more than a regular tub! It’s the shampoos and soaps that make it slippery
@@DPTubs Wow thank you! I will just reglaze my shower base instead of replacing it. It's hard to find the same size. I will follow what u did on reglazing it, that's why I subscribed on your channel. Goodluck always man and thank you so much for sharing what you're doing.
@@ronaldcapulong1442 you can also add shark grip sold at Sherwin Williams to the final coat for a non slip at the bottom
@@DPTubs Oh great! I will check it out. Thank you.
Does youtube require terrible annoying music. Adds nothing good to your site. Info GOOD, music BAD..
Paint
music is way too loud
************* W A R N I N G ***************
THIS VIDEO @ THE 1:45 MARK HAS PULSATING FLASHING THAT COULD TRIGGER A SEIZURE. This is a very reckless / dangerous edit to add to your videos without a disclaimer.
Man I can’t stand this music
Did you forget we came to hear you, not fight annoying intrusive background music? It is beyond me why UA-cam content creators think it necessary or cool playing background music over their voice. Many folks have hearing difficulties, thus with the music it makes it difficult to understand what is being said. Okay, they can turn up the sound, D'uh, it turns up the music as well. The background music quickly becomes an impediment to an otherwise important and helpful video.
Sorry!
remove the music, you don't need it. Annoying.
