Olympic Pool Paint - Paralon 2 - White - 1 Gallon - Chlorinated Rubber-Based Swimming Pool Paint | High Gloss Enamel for Chlorinated Rubber, Bare Plaster & Concrete Pools | Perfect for Residential & Commercial Pool Renovations

The Olympic pool paint (white, gloss) is very good quality paint. However, it is also very expensive and the fumes are not healthy to inhale. Plan to apply at least 3 coats to bare concrete or beaten-up prior paint jobs on your pool, and 4 would be even better if you want to extend the life of the paint job and get a really great finish. The paint is fairly thick, and the manufacturer says you can dilute the first coat up to 20% with Xylene solvent, as the 'primer' coat. Subsequent coats should be applied full-strength. As reference, my pool is 34,000 gallon, and I used 17 gallons of paint, which gave me 3 coats on most of the pool, but I only got 2 coats on the shallow end before running out of paint. Another 3 gallons would have gotten me the full 3 coats, but I had enough and decided to leave it at that. So plan 20 gallons for a 34k pool. Lots of cash and a ton of work but worth it in the end. PS: Only use this chlorinated rubber paint over surfaces that are bare concrete or have been painted with chlorinated rubber paint previously.DO NOT apply over water-based or epoxy paints or synthetic rubber paints. If you do, the paint will likely fail.
