Thank you!
Did the paint have a smell or dangerous odor I will appreciate some information ℹ️ please thanks 🙏 dyi ers.
Thanks I did but mine is not fiberglass. 👍 Don't worry you got my view 🤣🤣🤣
Was yours cast iron. What did you use. I’m researching for my cast iron tub.
I want to do this....not because I like the idea....but because I am lazy and seems easier than replacing the whole surround just for the kids to destroy it (because that seems to be children's purpose in life....wear out snd destroy the things you have worked for). Thanks for sharing with us short cutters!
What a beautiful couple.
Thank you. You're very kind.
I love the 2 year update video - it provides a lot of confidence in knowing it will be worthwhile!
You can do it, Andy!!!
How adorable are YOU two?! If my husband and I had worked together as well as the two of you, we might not have ended up divorced. Lol! Thank you for this inspirational video. I'm glamping an old RV and the shower is horrid! So your sharing your experience is greatly appreciated.
ConsciousWriter, we are so happy that you were inspired by this video. Choosing to fix up your shower will make it look "BETTER THAN BEFORE." That's how we feel when we do each of our projects. Please let us know how your RV turns out. You can also put up peel and stick flooring and backsplash to totally change up the look. Wishing you the best! -DIYPC 😃
Thank you so much for the update!
Absolutely genius!! Thank you so much for sharing!!
Thank you guys so much!!!
one thing id like to mention with the paint is that since it is oil based you can easily thin this using mineral spirits or an actual paint thinner, start ina small pint container and add a few drops of your thinner. mix until you have almost a silk like consistency and apply. Not only will it leave a nicer finish (imo), this makes the paint much easier to roll, stretches your product further so you get more out of a can (coverage) and does a better job hiding streaks when applied with a brush.
Thanks for the tip 👍🏾
@@DIYPowerCouple appreciate your video! Thank you
@@sonmydful I’m not disagreeing with you, but I read on another post pertaining specifically to this product that upon thinning it out with a bit of paint thinner, they experienced dry times triple that of when the product was applied as is.
Is your suggestion to thin based off personal use of THIS specific product, or similar products in general? Are you aware of why this may be, or have you experienced increased dry times upon (lightly) thinning out oil based paints?
Thank you So Much for your Videos, I have learned Alot about redoing my tub, and will do it like you suggested.
Nice to see a lovely couple working together to fix there home and save money doing it.
Thank you. Liked your Initial video and results. This helps a lot. The update sold me.
this is such an amazing idea! i'm so pleased that i can make this change and not have to spend a fortune. thank you guys so much. akilah, your voice is beautiful.
You guys did a great job on this. I've read comments that the prep is important. Thank you for posting these videos.
This is awesome 👍 Thanks for the update.
Thank you for the video. Starting to redo my house and I was going back and forth between epoxy and one of the marine paints. I figured if boats can stand up with this coating my little bath tub can. Headed to home Depot now to grab supplies. Luckily here in Florida I can get the paint almost anywhere.
I'm inspired to paint my hideous mustard-colored fiberglass showers in this home we bought. Seems better than replacing them, as they are really custom fitting in the spaces. Thank you for the video!
Thanks for updating
Amazing! Thank you!!! I’m doing it today
U r adorable and ambitious and I'm doing my tub now, thank u for help this single lady.
Thx for the follow up.
Just the information I needed. I would not have thought of using marine paint.

Thank you so much for the update! I watched your tub diy and was so excited to find a solution to my ugly 1973 fiberglass harvest gold shower/tub! I can’t wait to do this - you guys changed my whole outlook - not replacing anything but the fixtures now. 😊
Just wonderful nice articulate great people giving people some good info on saving money and still getting quality work.
Much appreciated, Danny! Much appreciated 😊. DIYPC ✨

Welcome to the DIYPC Family Planted Scorpio! 🤗 Glad we can help you save some $$$.
Excellent! I'm going to try this.
Please let us know how it turns out for you. Others shared that they also had good success after seeing our video. 😊
Great videos on this subject thank you guys I am definitely going to reglaze my fiberglass tub instead of replacing.
Phillip, let us know how it turns out after you do your project. Here is the original video in case you didn't see it: czcams.com/video/Ds_Sju0MnBU/video.html

Your review and opinion were just what I needed to hear needed a cost effective solution for a fiber glass shower stall renovation👍💥👍💥...
Thank you .
Glad this helped you, Terese! 😃
👍👍
Very nice. Thank you
I had the idea of doing this a few years ago! I’m so glad you guys put it to the test! I’m a professional painter , I’m thinking about using my spray rig for my application. I’ll record it and send you all the link!
Please do...we'd love to see it done with a sprayer. That will be a nice video!!!!
Very good-these reviews on the longevity of products and procedures are absolutely essential. Who wants to invest time, money and effort into all this without any sort of reassurance there will be a lasting result? Thank you!
This was a great update vid .looks wonderful very greatfull for the breakdown and the why so ..brilliant thinking to use that type of paint kudos #DIYPC
Thanks Melissa! Remember to pick up a "mask"! 😃
Thanks for the warning about the primer fumes! I might opt to do this only in the bathroom that has a window and do something else for the one without. 👍
It was worth it...you will be happy with the results.
I did this 5 days ago thanks for the update you guys are great!
Thank you very much!!!! 🤗
Hi guys! My sister works on yachts in south florida and about 5 years ago she also painted it with marine paint! It's the best thing she ever did! It lasted 5 years until she recently remodeled and she got a new tub! I do believe that she did a top coat once more after that. Geniuses to post this, it really really does work!! If anyone is curious and you need a quick update and trying to save some money, do it! But follow the directions just like you guys did so you get a good end result! 😊❤
Hi Tiana! Thanks for sharing that story! 😃 It's definitely a process but works so well!!
Marine paint idea was genius!
Thank you, Colm 🤯. -DIYPC 😃✨
GREAT IDEA!!!
Hello! I'm a new subbie! I was sitting here thinking again about "updating" my bathtub. I of course came to you tube and found you two beautiful people. After I saw your tub, I immediately subscribed. Other than the smell, I'm so excited to do this. Thank you for sharing your DIY passion with us. I look forward to watching all of your videos. Take care.
Welcome to the DIYPC Family! 🤗
Absolutely brilliant idea to use marine paint.
Many thanks. We put 2 and 2 together. Fiberglass boats use fiberglass paint and we have a fiberglass tub 🛁. We're glad that you received something from our video! Hope to talk again soon. DIYPC ✨
@@DIYPowerCouple Tub os metal, but the surround os fiberglass. Either way, I'm heading to Home Depot in the next week to get the paint you guys used.
Thank you very much for taking the time to produce your diy tutorials.. I greatly appreciate it.
You guys are cute lol great job. I am rehabbing an apartment building. I was planning on getting all new showers. Mainly because they are hideous. I had a buddy recommend this process instead of replacing the showers and this video solidified that idea. I like you two and what you do. Keep it up and I will keep watching! Subbed.
Appreciate you! Welcome to the DIYPC Family 🤗
Hi, I really enjoyed your DIY, however my tub is porcelain that I painted 2018. I now have chips and peeling. Will this work for me
Thanks in advance
Thank you for this video! I cannot afford to replace the tub and purchased the paint you recommended. It is my weekend plan.
Please let us know how it works for you.
Thank you. I will try this I have pretty much the same beige Tub. Costs a lot less than a new tub to shower replacement project. ❤
Yes, it costs much less🤑.
Wow, we bought a Condo in Sun city Arizona and ran into the same situation! I typed "how to...." and your video came up. Very informative and helpful.
We have two showers so we got our work cut out for us. But we get to do it together and see the transformation.
Thank you both!👍
Working together is always nice! 😊
By far the best video and just what I needed. So much information out there and I didn't want to waste my money. I'm going with this because I did the same with the polyurethane on my hardwood floors before--I used marine grade polyurethane and nothing is better than that on your hardwood floors. Because of the chemicals, I mioght forego the marine primer and see how it turns out.
Thanks so much for this video!
Thanks for watching. Please let us know how your project turns out. We think that forgoing the primer is ok, but the original color will show up again much faster.
Thanks. You two think outside the box, research, and navigate your own course. Your fiberglass tub would have had a topcoat of something, possibly an epoxy. That would be the determining factor for what would adhere to it. You reasoned your way to marine paint.
I am puzzling my way to painting a cast iron tub a as have reasoned similar to you about marine paints. Ships are made of metal, so a marine paint for that would yield similar results with consideration to the original paint on the tub. Smoothness and no streaks are my concern. Adhesion, with uniform sanding and increasing smoothness of sandpaper seems the way to go. And, of course, cleaning and primer specific to the paint; that’s what helped the binding between the old and new paint.
A ROS would have simplified your work (hand sanding’s tough), but you did it! Great.
Thanks! I’m a convert.
**I’ve seen the results of big box store “tub” paints. Not Good!
**Glad you are safety minded.
Well done on project AND video!
Thanks! Appreciate you.
Great video. A friend of mine also recovered her chairs in marine fabric. She has pets and her furniture took a beating. You can literally wash with a hose or in the bathroom. Still looks great.
That is awesome! Thanks for sharing!!!
Thank You both, for your videos I prep my fiberglass tub and shower by cleaning and sanding and today I applied a coat of Topside Primer and it already looks like new in two days I will apply my top coat and can’t wait to see the outcome, I’ve watched many videos and decided to go with the Topside Marine Paint, I want to thank you both for encouraging me to go with this brand. AWESOME 👏
Hi Frank! 😀 Glad you are seeing results after priming! You will love the final look!
Did the paint itself have strong fumes? They mentioned the primer did, but I’m curious about the paint.
It's a smart idea
I LOVE you two but this one im leaving for the professionals to much to many dangerous chemicals this is best for (me) for professional used to work in property management its not that expensive to me for all thats involved but you both need the Golden Globe on this team accomplishment
We want to thank yoyomama for this award🏆!!! 😀🤗
Thank you for your great video. It gave me the confidence to do my green 40yr old Kohler fiberglass shower tub. It was in perfect shape but wrong color. My wife loves the new glossly white look of the Rustoleum top coat now. There are a few things I learned. Sand with 220 at start and between all coats. We could see some scratching in finished product from the 150 grit I used initially. It took 4 coats to completely hide the green and the sanding marks. The $30 quart can ran out after the 3rd coat. Don't use the cheap $1 foam roller kit from the dollar store. The tray worked great but the foam expanded and kept falling off the roller. I then purchased a high quality foam roller and it worked great for the following 3 coats. I was able to reuse the same roller by keeping it in a baggie over night. Use a foam brush to do the detail work. The horse hair brush I used didn't work well at all. I was hoping for a better looking result when all finished. The self leveling properties of the paint didn't smooth out the over lapping from the roller. Not real noticable unless the light reflects off the surface at an angle which happens with a window or light fixture. It took me 2hrs to remove the old glass sliding shower door. Took lots of elbow greese and goof off to remove adhesive and silicone caulking. It took another 8 hrs to finish sanding and painting. It is still quite smelly in the bathroom after a week. Smells like vineger. If I had to do it over I would use appliance white spray paint (not the epoxy) for the areas above the water line in the tub. I used this on a fridge and it looked very professional. This would have been a lot cheaper, faster, less smelly and better looking. Not sure how it would hold up to every day shower use but it would be easy to respray if needed. If anybody does this let me know how it turned out. Hope this helps someone.
We appreciate you and thank you for sharing your experience! 🤗
Great video. I remodel homes, and I will be using this paint in the near future. I am doing a shower today, but the customer bought the refinishing kit. We shall see.
Dennis, you will be pleasantly surprised with the results from the marine paint. Only thing is...if you use the primer, residents must be away from the home for a few days. It's very strong. Please stay in contact and let us know how it works for you. Best, DIYPC ✨
Can this be used on ceramic tubs?
Looks good going to try the same. If those were oil based paints it’s good to thin as you use. Otherwise it thickens and takes forever to dry. I made many mistakes lol
Richie, trust us...we understand 😃.
Wonder if this can be used on a cast iron tub.
I need this. The apartment complex I live in just spray the tub and it chips a week later. They don't care and I've told them they are using the wrong paint🤦🏽♀️
They want to get in and get out. The paint takes several days to cure the way we do it. There is never any chipping, but there may be fading over time (approximately a year or 2).
I love the idea of this paint, but I don’t have a fan in my basement bathroom and I have a dog. I was totally going to do this, but my dog is so sensitive to smells, I’ve decided I will hire a company to redo my shower. I don’t actually use the shower and the company said it will not yellow over time. I need this to last the life of the house because I never want to replace the shower. Thank you so much for the update.
You're welcome, Patti! -DIYPC 😃✨
This was SO HELPFUL!!!! I can't find any marine paint products in my area & Amazon is out of both. Guess everyone brought it up after watching your videos!!! Thanks again 😊
kerch6, We're glad that you found this video to be helpful. We hope that you. Amazon says that they are working to get more in stock. You are right...this video has helped a lot of people. Let us know when you are able to get some marine paint and do your tub project. We would like to stay connected. -DIYPC 😃✨
@@DIYPowerCouple So I did it!!! My sister & I painted the shower & tub tonight. We used 'Rust-Oleum Tub And Tile Refinishing 2-Part Kit'. I thought I had a 'fiberglass' shower but it was actually 'acrylic'. Which was good because I couldn't find any 'marine paint' in my 'landlocked' state!!! The best tip I got was to not just use the paint immediately after mixing because it's super runny. I saw a video which said to 'mix, wait 10 mins, stir for 2 mins, wait 10 more mins, stir for 2 mins' then start painting. That waiting period really made it go on more like regular paint. The only bad part with using this product is the 'fumes' - they are HORRIBLE!!! We wore mask, had fans setup but still had to go outside for fresh air. We put on 2 coats today & will come back once the place airs out to put another coat.
Thanks for your video. It was super helpful & have me the courage to even attempt this!!!
Your prep-work on cleaning & sanding was REALLY helpful. I forgot to tape the walls before starting but I can paint over those mistakes 😜.
Glad it is turning out good for you even with different products!! 😃 We wanted to encourage you to DIY and you DID! Your shower/tub is about to look AWESOME! 🛁 Thanks for sharing your project with all of us.👍🏾
Thank you! I am renting a home and the shower is so gross. It’s been painted previously and the paint chips off more and more each time I clean it. It also has spots that are rough in texture, like there’s sandpaper in the paint, which makes it extremely difficult to clean. I know as a renter I shouldn’t do stuff like this but I am seriously considering it seeing as i am going to be here another year at least. Thank you so much!
Hi Nicole! Some people are just doing a topside coat after sanding the tub. This may be a quicker, easier and more cost effective option for you. Thanks for watching and hope you have subscribed for more DIY ideas! 🙂
This project looks great. I do have some concerns though about toxicity. Both when doing the project (sanding fiberglass), fumes and such, but also, concerns that the marine paint might be toxic while taking a bath? Great video though, thank you for posting. Lovely couple.
This primer and paint are the real deal. The primer is very strong, but the smell will subside. Always wear safety gear when working with fiberglass. The marine paint is "toxic" prior to application, but after it cures, it is fantastic. We haven't had any "toxic" problems while taking baths or using the shower. Since posting this video, many people have done it...and have had great results. Hope this helps! -DIYPC
This marine boat paint is amazing. I use it not only on fiberglass but porcelain tile, Old marble sinks, wooden bathroom vanities. I have used the marine white and black paint on wooden vanities and medicine cabinets. I would love to get more Knowledge what about the marine boat bottom paint. It seems more thicker but I’m scared to use it. If you know anything about the marine boat bottom paint please let me know. Once again thank you for saving me so much money Doing my tubs and vanities over in my investment properties. Remember I using marine boat paint on all surfaces now. Lol. It always looks great.
Michael, we haven't used the bottom boat ⛵ paint...yet. We're glad that it's working out for you as well. Like you, we like to experiment with products during some of our projects. -DIYPC ✨
My parents saw your video and they suggested it when I mentioned wanting to replace my outdated beige tub sorround.
I got my first house and it's outdated, I am all for budget friendly updates.
I am SO excited to refinish it so it matches the new white toilet and vanity we have already installed ourselves.
My only issue is not showering for a few days!
Do you guys have another bathroom? If not, what was your work around?
Hi Jamie! Yes, we have another bathroom that we all shared. 🤣 Do you have a gym membership with showers or a family member close by while you're waiting for the paint to cure? If you can make it through the 5 days, you are going to love the results of this DIY! 😃
Hi guys, thanks for the video. I love your guys’ videos and I have learned so much from you (specifically how to lay peel and stick tiles in my bathroom and it looks amazing!). I refinished my tub about two years ago with a Rustoleum tub and tile refinishing kit and I have just a few little patches where the paint is peeling. I’m wondering if you know how I can repair it and what I can do to make sure that it doesn’t peel again when I paint over it? I’ve been trying to lay down some Welbond glue to create a silicone barrier, but it doesn’t seem to be doing that much so I’m wondering if you have any additional tips - thanks so much!
Hi! We would sand the area and repaint with the kit or acrylic paint, then let it cure for at least 3 days.
Wow wish I had seen this sooner. During Covid we moved into our gutted out home we got at an auction, an it needed a new tub immediately.. but it also needed wiring, furnace, & plumbing. We have what looks like the same tub, but ours cracked and leaked under the tub. Plan to get new one in a couple years but really need to update this in the mean time. What type of putty did you use to fix any bad or cracked areas? Y’all did a Great job, it looks gorgeous!!
Hi! We used this repair kit but it is only for small areas. You many need something stronger. czcams.com/video/T2-vuzX1tY8/video.htmlsi=XhL0cBPNr9V48fEi
I am trying this today ! I am terrified lol ! We originally used bathtub epoxy, & it just didn't hold up. I sanded it really well & am going to give this a try.
Hey Mama Wolf! This should work well for you 👍🏾
Thanks for this update! I also used the topside paint. Had no idea I should have used a primer. Praying it holds up. Per the comments on Amazon others didn’t use the primer and it was ok. The smell is so strong and I would not have been able to get it done without a respirator mask. I closed off the bathroom and turned on the fan to suck up the fumes for a few days. The bright white makes it look like brand new tub and tiles.
CheekQueen, we are so glad to see that another person has tried it. You are right, it makes your tub look brand new. Thanks for watching and sharing! -DIYPC 😃
Thanks for sharing the original video and update. Is this slippery at all? I painted my aluminum pool deck with this and it has a rough surface but it's still slippery. Wondering if I should add the anti-slip to the bottom of the tub? Or has your experience been that it's not slippery? Thank you!
Hi Karen, we thought about the anti-slip too, but our tub has grip at the bottom. So far, no one has slipped. 😆
Wow! 2 years
Thank you for posting! What do you use to clean the shower? thank you!
Hi! This video shows how we clean it - czcams.com/video/An4ZGza7qk4/video.html
WOW.... today is June 2023. I am SO IMPRESSED !
What kind of cleaner do you use?
Here's the cleaning process czcams.com/video/An4ZGza7qk4/video.html
Hi, thank you for posting this, very helpful. I do have a question, I use my spare bathroom tub for my project, cleaning, washing foam, mini blinds and so forth. Does this scratch easy?
For us, it made a nice coating, but we used the primer as well as the paint.
I thank God for you both… really and truly I am so encouraged…I needed to see your video… so very thankful I came across this one. Your tub looks fantastic even after over two years…I bought a tub and tile kit from Home Depot …I have sanded my tub once and getting ready to sand again… sat down to rest and started watching CZcams videos for hints and tips on how to apply my product and found terrible year later videos 😞… so I started researching painting fiberglass and the Marine Paint came up… I have watched a few videos of boats being painted… but so wondered if it would truly work on tubs… all this very intensive prep work you don’t want it chipping just one year later… then I found you both tonight and I feel God has imparted confidence to me through you both and that I am on the right track… one question… have you “refreshed” it with painting another coat to brighten it? I ask because I watched a video of a wonderful young woman who had painted her tub with the product I bought but am hoping to return and buy marine … and the chemical reaction of the new wet paint she bought which was the same product she painted her tub with caused the paint on her tub to horribly bubble and blister… poor woman ended up with a horrid mess… so I knew I was never going to be able to “touch” up …. I was wondering even though it is marine paint… can it be painted over with the same product and not produce a reaction… did you try yet? I really loved your presentation….sooooooo well presented and thought out!, THANK YOU!! 5 star rating!! Lord multiply their blessings!!
Thank you so much for your comment! 🤗We are planning to sand and touch up paint in the future, but have done so yet. It is important to prep the surface well before adding an additional topcoat paint. We'll do another video when we refresh to see if it will bubble?🤔 Your tub is going to turn out great!
@@DIYPowerCoupleI will keep up on your videos when or if you “refresh” your tub. Blessings!
Thanks for sharing. Can you use a different primer?
Hi Love, we are not familiar with another primer that works with fiberglass. However, there are other brands of "marine" primer that may work.
I have been thinking about doing this, can I ask what kind of cleaner you used on it when you were done?
Hi! This is our cleaning process czcams.com/video/An4ZGza7qk4/video.htmlsi=RLk-iOdkpBckJuSq
I had a tub in rental prop had cracks in a corner and someone tried to repair it and paint it. It looked terrible and I think it probably leaked. I used some kind of fiberglass repair where you mix two products together. I then filled the cracks with it and sanded it smooth. Then I used marine paint on it. It worked great. I had to point it out to people where I “patched” it.
I had estimates from $495 + to fix it. Oh I used topside paint as well.
Seems like you did the same thing we did. We appreciate you sharing 😉!
Great job! A couple of questions? How do I know if my tub is vinyl or fiberglass? Does marine paint work on both? Once you start using it and it's time to clean, what cleaners are OK to use? Thanks in advance! And thanks for the content!
Hi Mara! Here's our tub cleaning video czcams.com/video/An4ZGza7qk4/video.html We are not sure about "vinyl" tubs and what products would work, but you could try the marine paint on a small area to see if it cures. Your tub may be acrylic.
Wondering if this makes the tub floor slippery? Thanks for your great videos!
It didn't make ours slippery but we had "texture" on the tub floor.
So interesting!! Thank you for sharing this! Are there any safety concerns over using marine paint with regard to breathing or skin exposure after it's cured? Happy Holidays!!
Great question. We haven't had any issues and plan to recoat it. Happy Holidays to you, too! 😃
