How To Paint A Pool. Painting Pools With Chlorinated Rubber Pool Paint.

Okay, I got this pool all empty now and we had a little bit of rain, so filled it back up. Had to re uh pump some more of the water out, but we got it all empty. Now, we're going to begin the prepping process. I got some paint that's previous paint that's been peeling on here. So, we're going to be scraping it with a 5 in1. Get all that loose stuff off and get this whole thing all cleaned up. There's some leaves, debris in here. Make sure it's really clean. We're going to wipe it down with rags and stuff. shop back it and get it clean. Ready for our pool paint. And our pool paint that we're gonna be using is a chlorinated rubber paint. It's going to melt right back into this previous chlorinated rubber paint. So, we don't have to do any sanding to the pool at all. It'll just melt right back in. So, it's a real convenient product to use. But make sure you're using the right product when you're actually painting your pool. This pool was painted previously with a chlorinated rubber paint. And so, we're going to use another chlorinated rubber paint. I got multiple color colors that we're going to actually be painting this pool. If you could be a bug for one day, what kind of bug would you be? And what would you do? A bee. That's good. Just eat honey. Make honey. Eat honey. So, I'm out here working, still prepping this pool. I'm going to show you this pool product. We got Insullex pool paint. And this is a chlorinated rubber pool paint. And my pool right now has been painted previously with a chlorinated rubber paint. You want to make sure when you paint your pool that you got to have the proper coating to go over what's there now. So, if your pool is not painted with a chlorinated rubber, painted with like an epoxy based paint or something else or water-based paint, you need to determine what's there so you get the proper coating to go over the top of it. so you don't have any adhesion issues. I've got a chlorinated rubber pool. Going to be painting it with chlorinated rubber again. And the chlorinated rubber is a solventbased product that actually melts into the previous coating. So I don't have to do a whole lot of prep work. I don't need to sand the pool. That's one thing nice about chlorinated rubber. Just melts into the previous coating. So it's really simple to use. Just going to roll it right on. And it comes in a multitude of different colors. There's different blues, whites, black, red, and it's pretty cool. I'm going to be doing this pool about three different colors, so stay tuned. When you put the pool paint on, you got to let it set for 7 days to dry and cure before you can actually fill the pool up for water. Make sure that you adhere to that. You got to actually have a fan blown on it to get rid of the um the chemicals and as it evaporates, the chemicals will actually settle down into the bottom of the pool and it'll slow down the cure rate of the the actual product. So it'll take longer than 7 days to cure if you don't get some forced air going through here and dry and helping precipitate the fumes from the product. So, it's Insullex chlorinated rubber pool paint is that what we'll be applying. [Applause] Okay, I'm down here in the bottom of this pool working out. I've got all these bubbles and stuff scraped out of the side of this pool. And quite a few years back, this pool was actually painted with the wrong product over the sidewalls, which the sidewalls were fiberglass. Somebody put the wrong product over there, didn't bond very well. So, every time I come back to paint this pool, every 3 years, 3 to four years, it's got some bubbling and stuff. So, I got to scrape it with a 5 in one, get it loose, and and that's the easy quick fix. uh trying to get it off the sidewalls, sand blasting it or using um walnut blasting would be ideal, but it's really really expensive. So, we're going to go to that extent. We're just scraping off the loose stuff and repainting it over with the coronated rubber. So, I'm just going along now and just vacuuming the pool with the shop back and vacuuming down here at the bottom. Get any of this excess water out and get it all cleaned, ready to paint. Okay, I'm going to begin this painting process right now of the pool. Going to be using my chlorinated rubber to paint with. And this is a a solventbased product. It's uh based with xylene and stuff, but I'm not going to attempt to try to clean up the the rollers or the brushes. So, I'm just going to be using cheap throwaway brushes. I'm just using old exterior brushes that we have in our vans that we typically use as duster brushes. So, I'll just be using those and just chuck them. I'm going to be using some old 4-in naps and some old or 9-in roller naps with 38 in 9-in rollers and 4in rollers. 3/8 inch nap. And so, going to begin this rolling process. My buckets got a um two gallon bucket right here. I'm also going to be rolling out of a five gallallon bucket with my 9-in roller, 4in roller out of my two gallon bucket. So, here we go. So, I'm going to be starting along here. I'm going be working from top to bottom. I'm going to do my top cutins right along the edge of the pool deck and going to work out of their little step there so I can walk along the edge of the pool and do this um about this 2 and 1/2t section along the top of the pool. Gonna work right around this. And then once I get that done, then I'm going to start from the bottom of the pool and work my way out. So, just a quick tip, when you're actually painting with this chlorinated rubber, it is a very thin product and it actually dries extremely fast, but it runs really easy. So, when you're actually brushing it, brush it on just a really thin coat and continue to watch right behind you if it runs. If it runs, you can just brush out those runs really quick. But if you give it like 30 seconds or so and it's warm outside, if you try to go back and and brush those runs out, it's going to be coagulating really fast and it's gonna leave it's gonna get really globby and leave really heavy brush strokes. So just a nice thin coat is all you need. Now I'm going to begin working around these steps cuz my steps are going to be a different color than the rest of the pool. So I'm going to cut in around the steps and continue working in my sidewalls. I'm working right along doing my cutins on my sidewalls. And I'm just going to roll my sidewalls now with a 9 in roller 3/8 inch nap. Fill it in. So, I got this pool all rolled now. The one color it's a royal the color is royal blue. And I'm going to be working on the steps now. The steps are going to be painted ocean blue, a different color. So, I'm going to start working on those now. So now I got the steps all painted a different color. Now the pool's all painted. It's took me about a total of 4 hours by myself to roll this entire pool and do the steps a second color. I got another color black that I'm might uh think about doing a sun or some type of decoration on the bottom of the pool. and I'm trying to come up with a design for that. That's one of the cool things about being able to use pool paints and different types of colors. So, you can put any type of design you want inside the pool. So, I'm thinking about that and we're going to continue on with that project here in just a minute. So, once this project is all complete and all painted, I've got to wait 7 days for it to cure and before I actually start putting water back into the pool and then we'll start filling it back up and see how she looks. Okay, we got the pool all done now. So stay tuned cuz we're going to actually be doing the concrete deck now.
