What kind of paint do you use to paint a fiberglass pool and do you need a primer?
You should use exactly the same "pool paint" used originally, when the pool was manufactured. It's called gelcoat and can only be purchased online. Until 1999, fiberglass pool owners were forced to use epoxy, which lasts only a few years before chaulking, peeling, and cracking. Now there's a product called fibre-shelkote which is exactly the same formulation that lasted more than 20 years after your pool was built. But you'll need to call a sandblasting contractor to remove the old gelcoat before you can roll-on the new stuff.
Hum, are you certain that your pool needs to be painted. Has it been painted before. How old is the pool? Maybe it just needs to be drained and cleaned. You need to be certain that has been painted in the first place.
