The advantages of painting you pool or spa are:
- Decorative
- Seamless
- Easy to clean
- Long lasting
Compared to Tiles; paint offers a seamless finish, no tile joints to get dirty, no tiles to fall off.
Compared to an Aggregate finish (which cannot be refurbished); paint has no rough surfaces to scratch the skin, and a smooth finish for easy cleaning.
When selecting your pool paint there are two types.
Single pack, such as Chlorinated Rubber and two pack Epoxy.
To distinguish between them:
| Chlorinated Rubber | Epoxy |
| Limited colour range | Extensive colour range |
| Lasts 2-3`years | Lasts 7-10+ years |
| Single pack | Two pack |
| Higher cost per year | Lower cost per year |
| Easy to recoat | Need to sand to recoat |
| Chalks (whitens) | Yellows slightly to UV exposure |
| Soft surface | Hard surface |
| High solvent content (smelly) | Virtually solvent free |
The Epotec Hi Build epoxy has proven to be the best, long term pool paint in Australasia, with over 20 years usage.
