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.
