I also used Tough As Tile from Lowes, on my bath tub, sink, and sink counter. Quart was enough for two coats. It looks much better than old pinkish yellow stuff. My only complaint is the brush marks in some places. The bath walls and ceiling I did with paint, 2 coats of primer and 2 coats of paint.
Will show pics if anyone can explain how to post them. I just learned how. see next post.

Here are the pics of the finished bathroom. I did it without removing them from the AS. I did remove the sink, and replaced the faucet with a new one.

Our shower pan is now out and we will be starting on the finish this weekend. We bought the Tough as Tile from Lowe's (spray on). Hope it all goes well. We will also be doing the medicine cabinet.

We did have an issue on the back side with a hole. It seems some pipes behind the tub were rubbing against the backside of the pan and made a whole. It had been patched from the front. We will make sure the pipes are secured to the wall and reinforce the back of the pan.

Good question. I've wondered about that too.

thanks Mary

Right on about the respirator! My biggest concern about doing this work is that I have asthma. What type of respirator are you using? Were you able to find out how long this product gasses out? I'm pretty sure there are no "green" products so I haven't even searched.

In any case, you are my new hero. Please post pictures when you feel you can.

Say, this has been a fascinating topic. I had wanted to refinish my tub and sink for a couple of years now, but always put it off, cause I just wasn't sure about which technique to apply. I now have more to go on thanks to these threads.

From what I gathered here my 69er has ABS and not fibreglass. If I'm off let me know.

For our 69 tradewind, we used the Sherwin Williams Tile Doc two years ago, used it quite a bit, lots of baths for our 2 year old and a few showers ourselves, and always that little bit of storage inside and the finish is holding up great.

Tile Doc huh? I should give that a try. How was the application? Are the white rear bath photos you have posted the finished product? Looks great.

Yep, that was the same bathroom we used the tile doc on. It was a breeze to put on, of course its all about surface prep, cleaning, removing all silicone (see po armed with a caulk gun - help) soap scum, hard water films etc. Light repair of cracks etc then painting. We sprayed it, took 2 kits to do the entire bathroom tub/sink/bench and end cap (including the tub surround). We found after one coat the bright white made the end cap look dingy. I've heard from others that they can tint the stuff, also some other products out there that members have had luck with.

Thanks, it took several days on and off to remove the silicone, then the trim and fixtures etc. The actual spray time was probably 20 minutes per coat, then the flash time between coats. I forget the thread but several other forums members were using it and tipped us off to the product, so theirs would been in use much longer than ours. The big secret to a good finish as with any paint product is prep prep prep. It must be as clean as possible.
