Home Improvement--General - old bathtub


Expert: Steve Young - 8/3/2009

Question
Hello Steve,
we're moving into our new home that has an old pink bathtub. We saw self-leveling paint kits at Lowe's but they are white. Does that work? Will the bathtub look white afterward? Or will the pink shine through?
Thank you for your advise in advance.
Tabitha

Answer
Hi Tabitha,
I honestly don't know for sure.  I have never used one of these kits so I cannot answer this question from personal experience.
Having said that, I read a little about this technique and it appears that it is critical that you use a good high quality primer before painting.  You may want to look at this site for some more information:

Good luck and let me know if I can help out in any other ways.
Steve
