Question about refirbishing a bathtube and what flooring to use in the Bathroom.

I just bought a 1967 Overlander that has been gutted. The rear bathroom tub is there and after a little research I figured it would be best to refirb the tube rather than buy a new one. I read a little about a Sherwood Williams "kit" that you can use to restore these tubs. Can someone show me exactly what kit to buy?

Also, when I replace the flooring in the back what is the best kind to use?

Thanks...

Hey Veg,

I had the airline style bath in my 64 Safari. Dingy yellowing fiberglass. I took it all to Orange County Boat Repair, They Re-Gel Coated the tub, sink and trim. Shiny and smooth, could not be happier.
I have not used any of the epoxy tub and sink paints. However I have seen it done and the results are pretty darn good, and a lot cheaper than Gel Coating.

"Also, when I replace the flooring in the back what is the best kind to use?"

Subjective questen, however I say go with the best and forget the rest.
I used "Joubert Marine Plywood".

-Dennis
