Still Australia’s Best Value Pool Coating

I finally finished the pool. It was a momentous project. The pool has come up a treat. All the info supplied was a tremendous help. Really impressed with the finish.

Thank you for all your help and advice for the refurbishment of our pool. The materials you supplied are first rate were easy to apply and the instructions easy to follow which enabled us to complete a perfect job.

I just wanted to let you know I was very impressed with the quality of your pool paint. I have a fair amount of experience using various epoxy finishes, which are not usually what you could term “user friendly.” Frankly, I was dreading this job. However, I found your product to be far easier to use than I had expected. It was easy to work, had a good pot life when mixed, and was surprisingly solvent-free. Moreover, it did exactly what the instructions said it would with respect to coverage. We are extremely pleased with the end result; our very tatty, discoloured, 20 year old pool was actually mistaken for a newly-built one by the builder who has just moved in next door (he wanted to know who did it and how much did it cost!). Besides the good looks, we have found it much easier to maintain the pool chemistry and I suspect our chemicals bill is a bit lower now; before we painted, the pH kept going off but now its completely stable. Finally I would like to thank you for your technical support with this job and to say that I would have no hesitation in recommending this product to other pool owners. My only regret is that I didn’t take a ‘before’ photo!

“….my DIY is finished and the pool looks great. I followed your instructions to the letter and have surprised myself with the results.

I’m very happy with the Pale Jade colour and am equally pleased by the comments received by everyone (even my wife !).

What was once an eyesore is now something pleasing to look upon – with a sense of a job well done.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Poolpaint & Epotec …. and agree that spending a few extra dollars on quality paint has resulted in a greater return of value to the property. “

Your “Bondi” mid blue Epotec epoxy Poolpaint arrived  quickly and OK for our 11mx 4m x1.5m Fibreglass Pool which is about 25 years old and has not been touched but was in pretty good condition.

We started emptying our Fibreglass Pool just using Pool Pump to waste

After 2 days of sanding and a couple of minor fibreglass and bog repairs, and NO RAIN my wife and I got into the painting with Epotec. It was 15 deg at 8am when we started and did not go above 25 to 30 deg for the 3 days we took. The first coat I did the top and around the leaf gutter and kids ledge half way down walls, with a 120 mm lambswool roller which worked very well, and my wife did the sides and bottom with a 250 mm lambswool roller. The first coat took more time and it took the 2 of us until 2pm to finish with 1/2 hour for lunch.( 6 hours) We changed rollers and cleaned roller frame (used same frames for all coats) for each can of paint and it took 3 cans with each can having 50ml of thinners added prior to the hardener. Same procedure each day with the 3rd day having 2 cans left (we had 8) so walls and floor got a third coat which only took me about 3 hours as no fiddly bits. It looks great and we were very pleased with the product and our efforts.

No rain on it while we worked or afterwards while it cured.We gave it 6 days no rain 30 deg temp to cure, then filled it with 2 garden hoses taking a total of 16 hours over a day and a half.

Thanks for your help. I am a handyman and do most jobs and had a farm so this was no big deal but a lot of time and sweat expended (we were careful to have an old towel rag around our necks to mop up sweat so it didnt fall onto wet paint, (although you said that minor water wouldnt worry it) on hot days getting it prepared. The mid blue colour shows a very slight green tinge to it when filled with water and looks like clear Barrier Reef diving areas, so turned out great.

Thanks for your help on the phone when we ordered. So far very happy, and hope it lasts a long time.

The paint has come up looking fantastic!

We refilled the pool about 2 weeks ago and the kids are loving it!  It has made the pool look bigger and brighter than what it was before.  Thanks for the detail application brochure – it was relatively easy to follow.

Thanks for all your help.

did the refurb in the lead up to Christmas and started filling the pool Boxing Day.

Very happy with the results aesthetically, and pleased with the reduction in maintenance that the project has achieved – the chlorinator cell is staying clean for much longer, the pH is more stable, and cleaning is now much easier.
