not did we only answer his question. we also threw in a few suggestions on where to take his date, and not what to do on the date, of course this comes after the tub is painted. 😛

[quote]i say use non sanding epoxy and do a wet on wet job. and i wouldn’t use high dollar ss paint. go with the cheap stuff.[/quote]You want to use a good single stage. Imron is a different animal than a normal SS. It is way tougher. For something like a tub use something nice and you won’t see problems down the road. A quart of white Imron isn’t going to break the bank by any means.
If I wasn’t going to use Imron I would at least pick a SS from a fleet line and not a normal automotive SS.

I am not sure how Imron will hold up in a tub, however, it will probably be your best choice of automotive/fleet paints.
I would buy the cheaper Imron 5000 (single stage). It is fairly inexpensive, sprays well and is very durable. As far as an Epoxy goes, use the green chromate rich DTM primer sealer (don’t have the part # off hand, but I can find it if you want). That is probably one of the best products you could use.
I was considering this at one point and my rep strongly suggested singlestage (BASF UNO), say’s it holds up amazing on stuff like that. They do have tub refinishing kits at home depot and whatnot btw.
It doesn’t bother me any, haha, very funny, can’t say the first date was at Western Sizzler though, we went and played miniature golf.
Hello..
I have heard about it first time. I was not aware about it. I think, it seems to be very interesting that somebody paint his bathtub with car paint.
