Why in the world would you want to paint a marbelite or plaster pool?
Just more for information....my husband bought an above ground pool that has sea animals all over it. I don't like the look of an above ground pool to begin with. I was hoping to make it a little prettier.
You don't need to tile a pool, if you use a good waterproof concrete render and paint it using proper swimming pool paint. (don't use emulsion)
They have special paint just for pools, one that will hold up under the water. For pool steps use a non skid pool paint, or if you can not find any non skid you can add some silica sand to the paint container. Any Paint supply store should have it and some homecenters.

You could but it won't last long. It's just cheap paint you know. Call your local pool place and ask them what to use. Marine paint maybe?
You can paint the exterior of your above ground pool. You will first have to clean it and use sand paper to lightly scruff the surface. You should use an exterior primer to prime the surface, and then an exterior paint designed for the type of surface your are painting to paint it.
Painting your pool enclosure can enhances your pool area. Basic ones can resemble simple fences while others may have larger glass panels and sliding screens.
a big one...
Use a Exterior Latex Satin paint......You can spray on or use a zip roller low nap! You will need a brush to cut in where roller cant get.
Yes,you just need to patch the plaster first.
First you have to determine if is in fact a painted pool. If it is a plaster pool then usually there is no paint unless it was painted because of age and damaged plaster. You most likely do not want to paint a plaster pool - have it acid washed to clean plaster. Not sure how to determine what type paint. You would have to have the paint chips anaylized to determine if it is a chlorinated base paint or epoxy paint. Ken
