Ruba dub dub, time to paint a tub.

Tub was pretty beat up, chips from things being dropped in the tub over the years and/or during demo of the interior.  Step one was sanding the once stained tub, then all the chips in the clearcoat were filled and sanded again.



Lots of repairs, including some fiberglassing were needed on the drain area since it was removed with a saw rather than a proper tool for tub removal.  The cuts were glassed in from below, filled above.  All will be covered by the drain flange but wanted them fixed before reinstall.

Today the tub received 2 coats of epoxy filler/sealer primer.  Once that cures, it will be wet sanded, prepped and painted with several coats of Urethane bumper coating in a pure white.  Once that cures I'll be able to install and foam in the tub as I do the tile in the bathroom area.   Progress, finally!





Again this is just the epoxy primer/sealer.  Even, still wet, so a bit of a shine still.
