Yes you can! We have a pool and my dad fixed ours.
Afraid not. Vinyl liner pools are built using "concrete receptor coping" into which the deck is poured. It also contains the "bead receptor" that the vinyl liner attaches to. Actually YES it can. You would want to do this during a liner replacement but it can be done. You would have to remove the concrete from around the perimeter of the pool, remove/ replace the "concrete receptor coping" with bead receiver, aluminum extrusion, form/pour a bond beam, then lay your stone. Not really an easy do it yourself job but it can be done.
no on paint! You will need to replace the liner.

The answer is no. Vinyl liner pools and the concrete deck around the pool are constructed with "concrete receptor coping". The concrete deck is poured into the receptor coping which at the very bottom has was is called a "bead receptor". The vinyl liner at the top has what we call a bead, used to install the liner into the bead receptor. Because there is, and can be, only one bead receptor, a second liner cannot be installed.
Yes, replace the liner. Nothing can put the color back into plastic or vinyl or glass or steel.
Very expensive
No. Replace the liner.
You have no choice but to replace the liner
That would be a pool company.. Now there are dozens of coping styles and sizes, so take one of the old one with you..
No
There are a number of ways you could remove stains from worms on a vinyl liner. You could use cleaners.
It is unwise to have a liner installed because the pool was not built with "concrete receptor coping. Because this strong steel bead receptor was not built into the coping, a plastic substitute must be nailed into the concrete around the top of the pool. The liner is then screwed into this piece of plastic, and the pool is filled with 200,000 to 400,000 pounds of water. The liner stretches and will usually hold the water for a year or two before it begins to tear at the top. A vinyl liner is not designed for this kind of abuse, and it will be unusable in a very short period of time.
