Stan, I haven't used this, but one of our neighbors had her tub and shower enclosure refinished with something like this almost 20 years ago and from what I"ve heard its held up very well. I think the secret to success with this would be in the prep before its applied. There must be some You Tube videos on this product, I would check them out. My experience with Rustoleum products has always been good. I bet it will work out well for you. Good Luck!

Hi Eddie
If I get it, and use it, I'll post before and after pics.
I have the liquid tub and tile paint for this, but it's a two part epoxy that you have to mix and use with brush and a high density roller. It takes 3 days before water can come in contact. Thought the spray would be easier, maybe dry faster? | ||

I'd suspect a catalyzed 2-part product would have significantly better durability. But it comes at the cost of having a long curing time.
As others mentioned prep will be paramount, as clean as you can get it then clean for another hour lol. While they say it doesn't require an acid etch it sure wouldn't hurt. I'd suspect it's chemical resistance after it is cured will be pretty decent, but the surface will not be as hard as the original sink surface. I'd never attempt to use any abrasive cleaner on it. As Paul mentioned this might make a good appliance finish, again especially the 2-part product. | ||

My aunt and later one of her sons had her yellow tub done professionally and it was terrible. The finish peeled off and did not hold up well at all. It was done twice and I'm renovating the house now and the tub is in the trash. | ||

Here's the before pic
You can see the old paint that it was coated with . (About 20 years)
Can't remember why I painted it. Do remember it was the two part and had to be mixed. Brushed and rolled. I'll see how the premixed spray works and post after pics. There a chunk missing near one facet that I thought I'd patch with JB Weld.. Or Bondo. I'm not looking for perfection, it's a old house, old bathroom. It should have some character right?

Used both, Different paints, different preps., different end uses. For the tub n' tile to stick well, you have to do a final step with acid then really good rinse. There's a ton of youtube videos out there on how to do this right. From the look of things, you already know what you're doing - 20 years is a very good wear. | ||

Here are a couple places that actually do new porcelain. Would only be cost effective if close enough to take a heavy item there instead of shipping.
