Paint is one of the most common pool surfaces. It comes in a variety of colors and is an inexpensive alternative to the more elaborate surface options. When attempting to paint a pool, one must first select the proper paint, prepare the pool properly, and follow all manufacturer's application guidelines. With the right materials, and some time and effort, you can have a brand new swimming pool without breaking the bank.

Steps

1
Purchase the same type of paint previously used on your pool surface: epoxy, chlorinated rubber or acrylic.^{[1] X Research source}
- Remove a chip and have it tested by your local paint dealer to determine the type of paint that was used.

Remove any old paint by using a power washer or a scraper and wire brush. Ensure that all loose paint has been removed, then sweep the area clean.

Use an acid wash mixture of 50% water and 50% muriatic acid to clean the pool surface. Thoroughly scrub the walls and floor with a scrub brush, then rinse the entire surface with clean water.

Clean the surface again with tri-sodium phosphate (TSP) to neutralize the acid and remove dense areas of oil or grease. Rinse it completely with fresh water.

Allow the paint to dry per the manufacturer's instructions, particularly when using an epoxy paint as timing is crucial to proper adhesion. Typically, you must wait 3-to-5 days for the paint to dry before refilling the pool with water.^{[5] X Research source}
