Dont forget your mask or respirator on this one and make sure you have plenty of ventilation ! The smell is strong!
U were rite!!! Tht paint is strong, i doubled my mask b4 I started painting n the smell still got to me.
@@alexceepointer5894 yeah theres a specific type of respirator you are supposed to use i pinned the comment its really strong
What grit sandpaper are you using to sand the acrylic
I used 160
It's not easy to paint a tub so much respect
Awesome job! I watched this video today and decided to try it on one of my rentals. It worked great. Thanks!
Glad it helped!
God Bless you. Thank you for the video. Im redoing my tub soon.
Thank you Tom! And thanks for watching
Had this kit so long I lost the instructions! Thanks for the video instructions man !
Thank you for watching and taking time to comment i appreciate it
Haven't tried it yet. Wanted to watch the pro first. Thanks. Good video.
Thanks for watching! Dnt forget your correct respirator this stuff stinks lol
This was soooo helpful 👍 Thank you!!!
Thanks for watching!!
Another great video, I enjoy watching them. I've never tried mixing etch with milk though, just teasing must have been getting close to lunch lol.
😂 it probably was lunch time. Thanks for watching another!
Thanks for showing this project
Your welcome! Thanks for taking time to watch
thank you ~ I used the spray 2 years ago and the second can sputtered and almost totally ruined the finish but was able to deal with what I got for the last 2 years and am ready to redo it with the roll on method!
Your welcome! Not a fan of the spray cans either i used once and halfway through it clogged up
Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
damn I am impressed I think I will do this too
Great video 👍
Good video, thank you
Thank you for watching!
I'm doing the same job tomorrow
Thank you, I know this video is old, what happens if you apply second coat after 6 hours,next day
To anyone watching this. Please wear a proper respirator. Also know this will fail in a year or 2 but that’s beside my main concern. Pleaseeeee wear a proper organic vapor respirator.
Hi....i just have a question i need to paint the tub and tiles... 80 sq ft of the tiles so do you think i can make it with the 26 fl oz or do i need 2 cans❓️
Your going to need two the box says the coverage is about 40-52 sq ft
I have that same tub
What did you put around the window? I'm building a house I trying to get ideas for around the window in shower area
I ended up trimming the window using vinyl 1x4 trim and sealing with kwik seal silicone .
I have seen some soap dishes done around them they have aluminum strips that you can use around the tile to make sure it has a smooth or level sitting area
I read some people had trouble with the product drying too fast. How long did it take to apply a single coat? And can you save the rest for the second coat?
For sure ! If you let this stuff sit it starts to get thick and hard to work with. It took about 10-15 min per coat and what i do is pour only a small amount in the tray at a time and keep the rest in the container covered and just pour as needed. Probably about 1/8 to 1/4 of the quart at a time . I dnt normally put any back in the can i try to use it all or just let it dry in the tray until the next coat.
Can’t find denatured alcohol at stores. First is it necessary and or is there some other solvent that can be used? Would it be ok to pass this step?
I think as long as you scrape all the caulk off youll be ok
Shiny!
Very shiny 😎
good advice to use the foam brush. I think I'll try the foam roller too. After sanding good, you really think you need to put the cleaning chemical , use the steel wool and the alcohol?
Foam roller is the way to go. I would do it just to be sure the surface is well prepped. Thats the most importatnt part for it to stick
probably the reason they caution against using a foam roller is that some solvents will dissolve some types of foam. Unless you know exactly what type of foam the roller/brush is made of you could risk having it disintegrate into a mushy mess, while you're using it.
I am wondering if it's OK to use HVLP paint sprayer on this one instead of using a roler?
Hmm good question. I dont have much experience with hvlp sprayers but I think you could. it is an epoxy and ive seen resurfacing always done with the hvlp.
@@BryanBuilt Thanks for your reply.
Thanks for watching!
Did you waited the whole 3 hours like the instructions said . Or Just until i see is dry ,for 2nd coat . Thanks
Yeah i waited like 4 hours in between . I did one coat in the morning and another coat in the afternoon
How much do I really need to sand off? Seems to take forever. Do I sand enough so it feels rough?
I didnt sand too much i used a 120 grit then a 220 but it was more to just clean off grime and rough up the surface to give the paint something to stick to
How long does this finish last and does it start to chip off?
I'm sure with time there's always a risk of it chipping. This house I can't say because we sold it. but I used this in an old shower and I had it for about 2 years with no issues before I remodeled that bathroom.
I think I see why they say not to use a foam roller. I used one, just finished the 3rd coat and it's deteriorating and leaving little foam balls every once in a while. I think the paint/lacquer must not work well with foam. Still turned out great and looks like new regardless.
What grit sandpaper did you use?
i believe it was 220
What do you do if there are sag or drip marks?? Just try to paint them out with the foam brush? For some reason the roller doesn't work out as smooth as it did for you. For me it left a gritty finish. Maybe I dumped too much paint in the pan and it dried on me?
If its dry already i would try and sand the drip marks to get rid of them maybe like 220 or higher grit andthen recleaning before repainting. Same thing for the grit i would do a light sand and clean in between coats to knock any of that grit off
Is the caulking around the tub supposed to be removed first before painting?
Great question! I would remove it before . Mine didnt have it because it had new tile but i would remove it and addnew caulking after
@@BryanBuilt ok so when I painted the tub i didn't remove it. Should I still remove it n do it over?
@@alexceepointer5894 If it were me I would. And then caulk the edges with new silicone
For the reason that you cannot use a foam roller, it is because the paint is very strong and melts the material of the roller.
Ahh okay thats good to know. Thank you!
Actually the main reason why they don’t want to use the foam roller is because it can cause bubbles - & that’s the same reason you don’t shake the can ….
Clear coats - whether oil or latex usually have the same instructions /problems with “AIR BUBBLES” but It’s usually the bigger (9”) foam roller sleeves that give you that problem.
Looks great tho .. Keep Doing your thing Bro. 😎👍🏼
@@ronaldknedilk3626 i didnt know but thanks for clarifying and thanks for watching!
the thing about these refinishing kits is why don’t the manufacturers of these products include some type of primer of base coat for these finishes to bond and last longer?
Only wish you could have shown us the texture up close. I would use this except I am seeking a perfectly smooth, shiny finish. I'm afraid the only way to get that is going to be spraying it.
yes spraying is def the ay to go if you are wantinf super smooth. I believe this is sprayable in an hvlp sprayer
Thanks Bryan. I have a gravity feed hvlp and the Home Right airless. I'm afraid the airless may require thinning to the point of requiring multiple coats to cover. I'll try it and see.
so 2 years later - how did it last ?
With you on the foam
Thank you!
You must drink alot of chocolate milk 😂I hear you my brother great video
Thanks for watching!
Im using this rite now. How long does it take for the first coat to dry?
I gave mine like 2 hours before doing another coat
@@BryanBuilt ok how long did u wait b4 using the tub for showers and baths? Also is there a seal it should put on when im done painting?
@@alexceepointer5894 i think they recommend 72 hours before usingn it i waited a week before running water
@@BryanBuilt ok thank you so much. I loved the way the tub looks. Its pure white. Thanks for recommending this product Bryan. I love the finish.
Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the video. Tub looks great. How does this hold up?
Unfortunately, I can't say on this tub, we sold this house after we finished it. but I've used this before in my home and had it a shower for about two years
How much of the can did it take?
I used half of it On 2 coats
@@BryanBuilt thanks bro that's wussup, I got 3 cans just in case 😂
😂 better more then not enough .
Checking reviews on this product fixing to resurface my bathtub and shower wall they are a light yellow color how has this Homan brand held up for you
I actually sold this house but my wife relisted it a couple of months ago for the new owner, and i got a chance to see the tub. it wasnt amazing it did start to repeel in some areas at the bottom mainly where the water pools but would def use again for a quick job
It looks great. At first. Just don't even think about touching it for two days while it dries. Don't put any pressure on it, ever, it will leave a mark. Or save yourself hours of work and buy something else.
Thats true about letting it cure for 48 hours. Didnt have any issues with pressure marks personally but i can see how that would be frustrating. Thanks for sharing!
could i just spot correct with this stuff or just do the ful job?
Not sure honestly. I would think you could but have never used it for that. I do know rustoleum sells a touchup kit online that ive seen
@@BryanBuilt i went full on the project and sand the whole tub but next project i wanna try it out !! thanks for the response man
@@chopstickprick nice! Thanks for watching . Let me know how it turns out
Our tub is pink would this cover the pink color? tub is in real good shape
Yeah it should it will just be a few extra coats to cover the color completely
I'm currently doing a dated pink one right now. It's in great shape so I'll love it in this bright white :)
@@freyamarie8552 let me know how it turns out, I haven't done our tub yet
Definately let us know how it turns out !
@@freyamarie8552 how did it do covering the pink tub and how long does it last?
Can you spray it with a spray gun?
I thinkbyou can with an hvlp sprayer but its an epoxy so they have to be thinned. I would check their website
Great video. How long total did it take you to complete the whole tub?
Thank you! With prep and coats drying i took a day and then i did a 3rd coat about a week later
@@BryanBuilt was the third coat necessary? I just moved into a new place and I’m trying to get my tub refinished so I can use it asap
I did a third coat because i had some drips and it got dirty when we did the tile so i went ahead and did anothe coat but i think 2 coats are recomended
How long was the total time?
Total time for the 2 coats was like 6 hours and like another hour on the 3rd coat that i did like a week later
Why did you do a 3rd coat a week later?
@@francheskagleichsner7217 i ended up getting some stains on the tub while working on the rest of the house and decided to just do another quick coat so it was perfect for our buyer
Foam rollers can make air bubbbles, the other ones not
Ah ok good to know 👍🏽. Thanks for watching
You sure about that? Ive seen the other ones make air bubbles too with the paint
You sure about that? Ive seen the other ones make air bubbles too with the paint too lol, i think it depends on what material your tub is and how well you cleaned/sanded
Dude I think you’re supposed to have a organic vapor face mask on! The staff can jack your brain up if you’re not using the correct 3M organic vapor mask!
True…. But I was taught (in Union Painting School)
the funny thing is - low older primers / paints / solvents
can be more dangerous!!
because the fact that you don’t know how bad it is when you’re inhaling it !
So you can be using a little older product and inhaling the same toxic fumes that are just mask so you don’t smell them…. AINT THAT SOME F’D UP SHIT ! 🤨😏
So You should always be wearing an actual respirator and with the epoxy(s) usually an organic Carthage … and you’ll know if you put a regular respirator cartridge on for latex paint … you’ll be able to smell it right away 😵💫
But the reg dust mask ..or the dust mask with respirator piece is better then nothing if your spraying the paint otherwise… save it for DUST cause it’s Almost just like a placebo effect with fumes 😄
& Like you said do as I say not as I do because I’m usually send the same thing I’m not going back to Home Depot right now … I’m gonna hold my damn breath and knock it out get out of the bathroom ASAP 🤣👍🏼
thanks for the tips ! Im horrible with PPE I am trying to get better with it but I always remember halfway through something 😂😅
I must say this coating definitely don’t last!! I had pro come out and do it looks way nicer!!
Good to know! how much did the professional job cost?
I had my tub professionally done. They had to do a 2nd time because there were bubbles. It’s been 2 1/2 years and I’m thinking of doing it myself. It is chipped. They charged $700
I payed $650 for mine and no problems!!
You should bring a helper to take the video for you.
i wish 😔. I had my son help me during summer but now hes back in school
for just the shower walls I needed three boxes of the spray version, did 7 coats, and its looks like Sh*t. one can sprayed out under the cap and almost ruined everything. this was a huge waste of time and money, too light looks orange peal, any heavier and it wants to sag. NEVER AGAIN
yeah, I do not like the spray version at all I haven't had good experiences with it either.
The tiles are laid crookedly!
IS THIS A FIBERGLASS TUB
No this one was porcelain coated . But it can be used on fiberglass
did not need the loud computer music
👍
Why not install a new tub at this point I get it its cheaper
Pro tips: 1. Remove drain piece and overflow cap BEFORE painting. Removing the drain from that 60 year old tub won't be easy. Lots of tools and swearing. 2. Razor scrape the entire tub. 3. Clean with comet and Zep tub cleaner. 4. Have a stiff drink and admit to yourself that this is a job for a pro. Pay the $400 and get a job that will last a decade, not a couple years. This Homax crap will start peeling and get into your plumbing. I charge $100 just to remove it and start over. 5. Why not paint your car while you're at it? Aren't you tired of the old color? You can get the paint at home Depot😂😂
Thanks for the tips. Of course a pro job is always going to be better but not always an option for everyone. And some people like to try new things. Hit that notification button so you can see when i paint my car 😂🤣. Have a good sunday !
Don’t waste you money or your time. This crap is hope in can. I do bodywork for a living and tried this. It doesn’t work. It winds up peeling every time and you have a bigger mess on your hands.
thanks for sharing your experienece
Mucho bla bla
😬
Just.
DON’T
Do.
It.
How much they paid you? The paint trash.
Lol did it not work for you? I was about to buy some.
@@ShootinItStr8 not for me but maybe for others. I used it on fiberglass material. I'm not a fan
Sorry to hear it didnt work for you. I used on a ceramic tub and i used a foam roller . And i wish i got paid for the video 😂. Just something that worked for me . Thanks for watching guys!
It’s clearly stated on the instructions not to use it on fiberglass tub
This product is absolutely horrible. The formula is very unstable. You cannot put a second coat with this product.
Sorry to hear you had an unpleasant experience
