Rust-Oleum7860519 Acrylic Tub and Tile Refinishing 2-Part Kit, White 2 Pack

Simply an excellent product for the money.If you're looking for a completely flawless factory finish on your tub or shower then (unless you have ample time and skill) and/or if you're not willing to dedicate the better part of a day.... then this may not be for you. But, if like me, you're looking to update your bathroom or just tub/shower but aren't looking to spend the multiple thousands it costs to do a complete gut and remodel - then this may be for you.As with any painting project, the prep is key. If you're considering buying this then I strongly suggest you peruse the reviews, many folks have left exhausting detail of prep steps and tips. Heed their caution about the fumes too....this is no joke. Ive worked with several nasty smelling paints and chemicals over the years and this stuff buys the cake. Had to have the fam sleep over relatives for a night and cleared the house for 24 hours with fans blowing. It was mid winter in New England so I closed the window in the bathroom before i left for the night. Bad move...fumes travelled under the door and downstairs. Crazy powerful. Next day I opened several windows and had fans going. Within 3 or 4 hours it was liveable. If you're thinking this is all too inconvenient - well I find spending $7-$20k to remodel extremely inconvenient at this time (we intend to do full remodel some years down the road, this bought us time), so Im willing to live with 2 days of inconvenience to save thousands. This stuff allowed me to refresh my bathroom (left sink, toilet, shower, tile as is) on the cheap. Painted the shower stall and lovely 1980's dark green tile border, stripped nasty yellowing wallpaper, used an Alkaline solution to refresh the tile, removed dark green tile baseboard and installed wood baseboard molding, installed chair rail, installed new whisper quiet exhaust fan w/ heater and timer switch, new light fixture, new shelving unit and fresh paint all for less $900.My one regret was not giving myself another day/morning to do a 3rd coat. As with most paints....multiple thin coats are a MUST with this product. I was running short on time so I tried to lay on a little thick with each of my two coats by going back over it immediately....resulted in orange peel all over. You cant see it unless you're in the shower, and my wife could care less (all that matters I've been told...). Could have been avoided.TIPS: if you're painting tile, as others have mentioned come back and use a foam brush to paint the grout. Makes for a nice uniform finish so now shadowing of the grout. If you have cracks or holes in fiberglass tub/shower like I did (nightmare left by previous owners) you can buy $5 tube of WaterWeld epoxy by JB weld, stuff worked amazing, mix apply let set and sand. Also if you end up with any rough spots say on the floor pan, you can always come back and wet sand smooth w/ wet/dry paper (go with less grit to be safe).I hadn't read much in terms of durability. I'm at least 6 months out and have had my 4 year old playing with matchbox cars on the floor and no issues to date. If I have any I intend to buy the touch up kit. If this buys me 4 or 5 years I'll be ecstatic. I think it will.

This is a great product. It looks great after painting tub. However you need to listen to the instructions about having a well ventilated area and wear a respirator. It has a very strong smell.

I used this product to reglaze an old cast iron utility sink in my basement. The finish on both sink basins was already pretty worn down and etched before I even began prepping, so I knew the product would adhere to those parts without a problem. I did sand the other areas that were still shiny/smooth (various grits sandpaper), although I probably didn't even need to do that because the sink finish was already somewhat scratched. Even so, I agree with other reviewers that the prep work is critical to success.I heeded the warnings from other reviewers and bought a respirator. I do think it was necessary - even with an N95 type mask, I think the fumes would be so strong that you might start to feel queasy, and overall it's just not great to inhale this stuff. You WILL want to do your project on a series of days when you don't mind having the windows open for a few days on end, so plan ahead! On the first coat, the smell did start to permeate into the main floor of my house, but it wasn't too bad. The basement smelled bad but was bearable after maybe two hours of applying each coat. Overall, I did three coats all in one day (maybe 3-5 hours apart). The smell does persist though, so even though it had mostly dissipated a day after the last coat, I can still smell it just a bit even one week after I finished the project.In terms of materials, I used a microfiber mini roller and a paint brush. I just used a brush on the first coat, which was probably a mistake because I ended up having a few drips. I used the roller on the second and third coats along with a brush to get the spots I couldn't reach with a roller. Bear in mind that even though the package says you can clean this stuff with alcohol or thinner, I feel you should probably plan to throw away whatever you use to apply. This stuff gets tacky very quickly, and once it starts to dry even a bit, I feel like there is little chance of cleaning it off anything.Overall, I'm quite happy with the results. Even though I didn't do an absolute perfect job or remove any of the drains/faucets, I think the sink looks 1000 times better than it did before. I would say it is maybe even TOO white for a basement utility sink - now I feel like I have to wipe it clean any time there is a spec of dirt or anything in the sink since it's so visible. The finish is very shiny and seems durable (although it has only been a week, so time will tell). I didn't notice any issues with the product adhering to the sink, but as I mentioned, the original finish was already quite worn and scratched.

This is the second time I've used this product for a bathroom make-over. 1st time was in my old house and I made 2 big mistakes: first, I used a sprayer not intended for fine-spray interior use (gave a textured effect which ended up chipping) and second, my respirator didn't fit. I legit passed out! Good thing my teenage kids were home. They called 911 and paramedics came. I was conscious by then but felt like crap for 24 hours. Now in my new house I tried again and got it right. Most importantly, I bought a new respirator. Took me three days of 2-3 hours of set-up, prep and/or painting each day. Then 3 days of dry time. I didn't skip any of the steps, although I sanded using just regular 120 grit paper (and used a palm sander which made it really fast). I went through a pack of 6 regular dense foam rollers - nothing fancy or expensive - and changed the roller when it started getting limp. This job took three light coats. I think if I had used better quality rollers I could have done two heavier coats. First two coats were within 4 hours and the third was the next day. I purchased the 2-pack and had about a half can left over. I have a second full bathroom so time wasn't an issue, unlike my first attempt when my kids and I were using a hose in the basement sink to "shower." If you don't have a second full bathroom, I honestly suggest looking into hiring a pro. This stuff smells deadly and the set-up/prep work is pretty tedious.. I've seen ads for same-day use bathtub/tile resurface painting with a cost around $300.
