Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We have a 35 year old fiberglass shower pan which could not be adequately cleaned. No matter how hard we scrubbed, it always looked awful. I searched for a very long time for a home kit that would not require the use of dangerous acid preparations. This was the only option I found. With two weeks having passed since I used the kit, the result looks great and I highly recommend it. Expect several hours of surface prep involving an array of household cleaners, scrubbers etc. before you can do any painting. I suppose this is the price you pay to avoid the use of serious acids. When you do combine the two parts in the kit to create the paint, the resulting odor is seriously nasty like plastic cement. I did not use any kind of respirator; I just ran the bathroom fan. Unless you like to get very light headed, I suggest you buy or rent an appropriate respirator. The paint is rather thin so apply in thin coats or else you will get drip build up on vertical surfaces. I didn't have much success with a roller so I used the bristle brush exclusively. It is true that once you apply the paint, don't try to rework any given area again if more than a minute or so has passed. And only brush in one direction. Follow the instructions for recoating. The second coat can be applied within the pot life of the paint (6 hours) but if you want a third coat--and it made ALL the difference in my case--you will either need a second kit or you must carefully set aside in sealed containers the proportional amount of each component to be mixed the next day. The final coat must dry 72 hours before you can use any water on it. Naturally, you will want to complement your work with all new caulking so be prepared to be an expert at that too. In summary, I am delighted with the result but be prepared for some major scrubbing, some nasty fumes and a long patient wait while it dries. UPDATE--Six months later, still flawless. Applied correctly, this produces a very durable finish. LONG TERM UPDATE--After almost two years, the finish is still without defects. I can only emphasize what others have written--the preparation steps are lengthy but if they are followed to the letter, your result should be excellent. Seven years later--Still not a single defect in the paint though it has gotten pretty dirty in a few areas and cannot be cleaned.
