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

What happens here

After scraping, thoroughly clean the entire pool surface. This includes removing any remaining leaves, debris, or scraped paint particles. Use rags to wipe down the walls and bottom of the pool. Then, use a shop-vac to remove any standing water and ensure the surface is completely dry and free of fine dust or debris before painting. The presenter notes the importance of using a chlorinated rubber paint like Insul-X Swimming Pool Paint, as it melts into existing chlorinated rubber coatings, eliminating the need for sanding. He stresses that matching the new paint type to the existing one is critical to avoid adhesion problems.

Goal: Ensure the pool is clean, dry, and ready for painting with the correct paint type.

What they say

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…
