How to Paint Acrylic Bathtubs

How to Paint Acrylic Bathtubs


Enhance the appearance of your acrylic bathtub by coating it with a new color of paint. However, before you begin, understand a few important points. First, because acrylic bathtubs are not porous, you must abrade them to enhance surface adhesion, or the paint will fail soon after it is applied. In addition, because bathtubs are subjected to a great amount of duress, it's important to choose the appropriate type of paint capable of providing a durable finish.

Instructions

1.Remove dirt and soapy residue from the acrylic bathtub, using a heavy-duty cleaning agent. Scour the surface with a coarse sponge. Rinse the acrylic bathtub thoroughly, or the primer will not stick. Wait for the tub to dry.

2.Scour the acrylic bathtub with 220- to 300-grit sandpaper to stimulate surface adhesion.

3.Cover all areas surrounding the cleaned acrylic bathtub with plastic dropcloths. Tape the dropcloths in place with blue, low-tack painter's tape.

4.Spray a coat of acrylic latex spray primer onto the abraded acrylic bathtub. Wait at least three hours for the spray primer to dry.

5.Spray a coat of appliance epoxy onto the primed tub. Wait a full day before using the tub.

Tips & Warnings

Wear a respirator when you apply the spray primer and paint

Do not use an oil-based or acrylic paint to coat an acrylic bathtub, or the finish may chip and 

peel.

Do not paint over an acrylic bathtub unless it has been primed, or the paint will fail.
