Rust-Oleum 396969 Marine Coatings Wood and Fiberglass Primer, Quart, White

Decided instead of replacing the fiber glass bath tub I would repaint it and boy did it to a wonderful job. It's been about 4 month and the paint hasn't chipped or cracked. Tuff stuff!

The hardest part of the job was the sanding. I sanded for 2 weeks because I wanted a very smooth surface. I first put on two coats of primer waiting 2 days in between and then two coats of top coat. The outcome was beyond my expectations. I chose to ignore the Amazon reviews about how slippery it was when wet. First shower I ended up going to the ER by ambulance. I did the splits getting out of tub from slipping. I used gorilla tread tape on tub floor and I'm very secure showering now. This paint leaves a beautiful finish just follow your directions carefully and you will be as pleasedas I am.

We had a crack develop in our shower. To save money, I decided that I would take care of the repair myself. I picked up some fiberglass resin and cloth from a big box store and was just going to leave it unpainted after the repair because you can't really find a paint at one of those big box stores that is designed for painting tubs and showers. Then it dawned on me to research marine paints. After doing the research, I found that the big box stores around me carried this exact paint but it had to be purchased by the four quart case. Amazon had both the primer and the paint. I ordered it on a Tuesday evening and had the products on Friday. Because I had done the fiberglass repair on the previous Saturday, by Sunday of the next week, the shower had been completely repaired, primed and painted. If you weren't looking for the repair, you would never know that it had been repaired. The white matched very well with the shower.

Unlike latex paint that can be stirred fairly quick even if heavily settled, this stuff had an inch of sludge that took a full 10 minutes of dedicated stir to get "most" of it mixed. That is eternity for a quart of paint.After using an inch of the can, I was able to stir more vigorously and still took a few minutes to get it mixed. There was still smaller strands of gunk but I was able to deal with it.The product itself is great.

Great easy to go on

Great when paired with rustoleum marine fiberglass paint. Our old shower looks awesome. Holds up great. NOTE: Refer to YouTube videos first on details of how to paint shower walls and safety tips. Very strong odor. Need well-ventilated area.

There was a large clump in the can that I was able to mix in but there were lots of smaller clumps that remained that I was unable to mix in to a uniform consistency. I've never seen this amount of clumps in my paint before.

This saved me thousands of dollars! I’ve trying to get a contractor come give me a bid to replace the shower stall, they never showed! So I came across this and thought I’d give it a try.-the primer is thick and settled on the bottom, my husband put an attachment on his drill and in less than 5 minutes, it was mixed and read to use, no big deal-it is extremely strong, we have no fan in the bathroom, 4 days later I’m still flying high 🤣 probably should have masked up or used a fan-I sanded the fiberglass shower with 220 grit, then used a cloth to wipe it off, then started priming.-cranked my thermostat to 75 degrees, the primer dried and I started painting within an hour. On my 36” shower, I had just enough primer to do the walls and pan with one coat. Then I used the Rust-Oleum paint and did only one coat, had leftover paint from my one quart can. It was close with the primer, I was definitely sweating running out, but one quart accomplished the job.-start to finish including sanding, primer, and paint, only took 4 hours-End result…. I spent $70 and it looks like a new surround, wish I had done it 2 years ago when I bought the house!
