Do you have to sandblast paint off a gunite pool in order to repaint?

Yes. Plaster will not stick to paint. You must sandblast off all the old paint plus any loose plaster under the paint. Surface preperation is the key to any good paint or plaster job.

∙ 15y agoIt would depend on the condition of the gunite and how many layers of paint are underneath. If the gunite is cracked or popping in places, sandblasting may damage the pool more. If the pool has been painted only one time previously acid washing may suffice. But you will always need to acid wash as a part of prepping the pool prior to painting.
If there are several layers of paint on the pool sandblasting will ensure a better paint job. If you go with the acid washing and painting over existing paint be sure to have a chip of paint tested.

How do you paint a walk in cooler?
First off, you will not want to paint the inside of your walk-in due to food safety issues. To paint the outside you will need to either sandblast the metal or use a self etching primer. Normal paint will run on a smooth metal surface so you need to give the paint places to cling to. And with painting a walk-in there is a good chance the paint will not properly adhere, so be prepared to repaint or deal with chipping.

Swimming pool paint companies do not recomment mixing paint types rubber goes back on rubber or epoxy back on epoxy So if you want epoxy, sandblast off the rubber.
