It is a process to refinish a bathtub.

1st: you prep it, prep varies depending on the type of surface the bathtub is made of.

2nd: you dry, then repair all of the dings,dents,imperfections,and holes or scratches.

3rd: you mask around the bathtub, and cover any fixture which overspray may settle on.

4th: You spray paint it, just as if it were a car. (there are various types of paint for this)

5th: Take the masking off, and you're basically done.

Of course there are way more details to cover than just that. Basically that is how you refinish a Bathtub. The best way to go about refinishing a bathtub is to hire an experienced Professional. I recommend ProBath if you're in San Diego.
