Pool Slide MAKEOVER! How to Paint a Pool Slide.

What happens here

The pool slide has visible iron stains and hard water deposits. To prepare the surface for painting, use sanding sponges or sandpaper to scuff off any rough parts and improve adhesion for the new paint. After sanding, wipe down the entire surface with denatured alcohol or acetone to remove any contaminants, dust, or residue, ensuring a clean and optimal surface for paint application.

Goal: Clean and scuff the slide surface for optimal paint adhesion.
