Review: Last about 3 years - I've used this paint for the last 6 years, painted the pool twice. For the first time I used it, 6 years ago, I lightly acid washed and then used TSP cleaner, power washed, then applied the paint. The paint went on without issue, then filled the pool, I use chlorine tablets in a dispenser for the pool,over the years the paint does fade, but I had no bubbling or flaking of paint, but I think it would be a stretch to get 5 years from it. I used the paint again in May 2024, I didn't acid wash this time as I didn't feel it needed it, but did clean with TSP and power washed, paint went on the same as before, and looks great. Review: Worked great and holding strong! Would definitely use again! Let dry 7 days! - I did a complete pool overhaul on our 30+ year old in-ground concrete pool. As you can see in the pictures, it was in pretty rough shape! I was quoted $12k-15k for a new plaster job, which is not in our budget! So, I decided to paint it. This was my first time painting a pool, and this is my story. We live on the Georgia coast, right at sea level, so our first step before completely draining our pool was to locate the well point. If you live in an area with a high water table, contact the company that installed your in-ground pool and ask them if they installed a well point on your pool and, if so, where is it located. Any pool company worth its weight will pre-install this well point for your pool when they are constructing the pool itself. I connected our old pool pump / service pump to the well point and kept it running 24/7 while the pool was empty. It had a constant trickle of water, accompanied by large gusts of ground water every ~90 seconds. If you don't do this, you risk your pool floating like a ship! Once the pool was drained and pressure washed thoroughly, I rinsed it with muriatic acid, followed by TSP and lots of water. I found several de-laminated spots in the plaster where it was just crumbling or bubbling and coming off in sheets; all of that plaster had to be chipped up and removed to provide a sound surface. We removed a lot of the plaster on the bottom and patched the spots where exposed concrete was visible with a polymer-modified porcelain tile thinset. The rest we just left alone. Once all of the holes were patched, we swept the pool and prepped it for paint. The paint instructions say to apply the paint to a dry surface, so we let our pool dry in the Georgia sun for 2 days straight before painting. We checked the weather forecast to make sure we had at least 3-7 days of weather with no rain. I found that the instructions were correct on this; our paint adhesion got better and better with each passing day. We applied the first coat and let it dry for 4 hours. And despite the paint instructions to NOT apply paint in direct sunlight, we did anyway. It was extremely hot in the Georgia sun, but the paint still went on good and dried good. We applied the second coat -- which by the way goes on easier than the first coat -- and then cleaned up and called it a day. I then carefully pealed up the Frog painters tape off of the tile line. I noticed that the paint acted like it would easily peel off of the pool surface at this point -- like a cheap latex paint -- but I convinced myself that it just needed a lot of "cure time" to adhere to the concrete correctly. And this was correct! After 7 days of curing in the sun, the spots where I thought it would peel was now stuck on like glue and not going anywhere! Also, the 7 days also allowed for the globs of paint that dripped off of the rollers, that I never noticed or would have cleaned up! So long story short, this paint is excellent and I would definitely recommend it and buy it again. Just make sure you do your prep-work and follow up with care and it will look great. For our 18' x 36' pool (roughly 25k gallons), we used 8.5 gallons of "Ocean Blue" waterborne paint to two-coat it. With all supplies (Pool paint, Tiles, thinset, grout, etc.), we probably spent $2k total.

After painting my pond, (2 coats) I waited 7 days before putting water in it. NO PROBLEMS.. **Q: Can I use this paint in my above ground vinyl pool?** A: Hello, this paint should not be applied to vinyl. **Q: Can these colors be mixed? Was wanting to soften the Ocean Blue by blending it 50-50 with the white, to make it a more powdery blue.** A: Mixed INSL X waterborne acrylic 1 gallon White with 1 gallon Royal Blue. I had originally ordered Ocean Blue but they sent Royal instead . I decided to order the White to match Ocean, but the mixture is darker but beautiful. The 2 gallons was applied for only one coat on a 24,000 gallon pool. Some spots were not covered but once filled it will look great. Manufacturer recommends 2 coats, but the underlying paint was still in good condition after 11 years! The color usually fades much faster. The video is after one day of refilling pool, appr 1/3 filled. Easy to apply with roller about 3 1/2 hrs. Manufacturer also confirmed paint can be mixed. It also can be tinted with up to 2oz of universal glycol colorant. HD may be able to do this. Mixing Ocean with White will work . Be sure to mix thoroughly **Q: Do you have aquamarine pool paint?** A: Hello, thanks for reaching out. Yes, we do have Aquamarine Waterborne Swimming Pool Paint. Please see ASIN B07NPNPHK9. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Last about 3 years *by F***E on February 17, 2025* I've used this paint for the last 6 years, painted the pool twice.
