[valleydawg]

Guys I have a pool slide at my house that I need to paint. What paint should I use? Where do I buy? How many? Anything special I need to know/do? Thanks

Why not use gel coat?? or A good 2 part epoxy marine paint.

Ayuh,... Sand it with 180gr. to rough it up, 'n paint it with Rustoleum industrial enamel...

2 coats, 'n a month of dry time,...
It'll be there Forever...

Water slides are normally painted with the best 2 part paint you can find. The paint needs to be very abrasion resistant.

What is the current problem with the gel coat on it?

Dull paint.

I'd wet sand it with 800, 1000, & 1200 gritt then use buffing compound. I BET it'll shine back up it no time.

Have you tried to buff in back out? A power buffer and good compound can do wonders.

Thanks guys. I now plan to buff it first and sand it if that does not work.
