Tools and Hardware Reviews of Rust-Oleum 7860519 Tub And Tile Refinishing 2-Part Kit, White
Customer Review: Hard to get perfect results, but looks OK and does seem to hold up
Summary: 4 Stars
Prep: I did not sand, but I did clean with muriatic acid (diluted about 3:1) and some green scrubbie pads first. That seemed to be enough to give the paint a good surface to stick to. Use a less noxious modified muriatic acid (available at any home center). The fumes aren't as bad and it doesn't burn if you get it on your skin as the regular stuff will. It is really important if you have silicone anywhere that you completely remove it. Use something like SILICONE CAULK RMVR 8OZ to remove any residue left behind after scraping with a razor blade. I had tons of silicone to remove because I have shower doors. I missed a bit and sure enough the paint that was in that area disappeared.
Application: Rollers seem to work fine and it is what they recommend. Use caution with foam rollers. The ones I used (yellow foam rollers from the home center... labeled "safe for all paints") would break down and fall apart from this paint, leaving pieces of foam in the paint. Major problem. I switched to this Purdy 662091 White Dove Deluxe Dralon Paint Roller Cover 9-by-1/4-Inch and it survived the paint OK. Another caution: you will probably not be able to clean anything you use to apply this paint, even with solvents. So use cheap (non-foam) brushes for places you can't get in with a roller. Yet another caution: buy a respirator (the kind with the screw on carbon filters) and use it. They sell them right here on Amazon for less than $30. A small price to pay to not have to breathe in the toxic fumes from the paint (or the acid if you use it to clean). A painter's mask isn't going to do anything since the fumes will go right through it.
Coverage: I used 3 packages for a standard size fiberglass tub and shower surround. I had enough left over to do a sink. I would recommend not mixing all of the last can (you would probably only need half) so you have something to mix small batches to do touchups with. Once you mix it, it will get hard even if sealed up.
Waiting Time: Definitely wait the 3+ days they recommend on the package. I waited a week since I had other stuff to do in the bathroom anyway.
Results: Not perfect but OK. I got some runs here and there but they aren't all that easy to see if you aren't looking at them. They are really hard to avoid given you are working on a vertical surface with lots of compound curves. The working time of the paint is also pretty short so you don't have much time to fix them without making a mess. It seems to hold up very well to the daily exposure to hot water, which makes all the hassle worthwhile. I had a lot of junk left in the paint from my disintegrating foam roller covers but those tiny mostly invisible bumps were fairly easy to remove with a razor blade, and you don't feel them after you do that. I painted over some metal (which is not recommended) because I didn't want to remove the drain assembly from the tub and it seems to be holding up just fine even there after a few months of use.
