I would sand it down with sand paper then paint with primer. After that apply a outdoor paint. Prep work should be smooth If you really want it to be nice hit the primer with a light sandpaper after the primer coat.

Is rubber swimming pool paint better then the epoxy refinish?
It is all in the preparation. Why do you want to paint a pool?????Reply to above: WHY PAINT A POOL? Because it's cheaper than re-plastering or otherwise re-surfacing your pool. Because it protects the concrete and/or plaster or fiberglass surface under the paint--if it is a quality paint. Because it revives the original beauty of your pool. Because it helps the surface resist algae and chemical attack on your pool surface-- especially so for a high-gloss premium pool paint. Because painting your pool allows you to modernize it, change color, add personal emblems or decals on the bottom. Lots of reasons to paint your pool.

How much does it cost to install a vinyl swimming pool versus fiberglass pool?
Well first of all there is no such thing as a fiberglass pool. You can have fiberglass walls instead of steel but your pool is still vinyl because you need a liner. These are the usual combinations of inground pools. Sand floor, steel walls, vinyl liner Sand floor, fiberglass walls, vinyl liner Vermiculite floor, steel walls, vinyl liner Vermiculite floor, fiberglass walls, vinyl liner Concrete floor, steel walls, vinyl liner Concrete floor, fiberglass walls, vinyl liner Concrete floor, concrete walls, no liner Concrete pools have to be painted with epoxy paint or if you want tile installed then usually you plaster over the concrete. Now a days 3 and 4 are the most common inground installs. 1 and 2 are usually pools that are 30 + years old although you can still have them done that way. In South Alabama the cost of a 20 *40 vinyl pool will cost around 18 to 22 thousand

How do you get flaking epoxy off bottom of cement pool?
From my experience as an inground cement pool owner for 7 years. Drain it and have it sandblasted and repaint with a quality marine/pool paint. I would not recommend the paint sold at your local pool supply store. My pool is 20 x 40 and hold 40,000 gallons of water. The paint I use is from a local company that really doesn't sell to the general public. It costs me around $500 for the paint. I can paint the pool myself. The sandblasting should be done by a professional and should cost anywhere between $1,000 and $1,500. Other than that, I know of no other solution to remove paint chipping from the bottom. I had the same problem and it was causing my water to get very cloudy. I know a lot more about the paint part if you need more info and want to email me.
