Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Definitely follow every step of the directions. Here are my lessons learned: 1. Don't buy the roller that Amazon recommends...do not buy one that has one of the 'foam' style roller parts. Buy a roller that is a harder plastic with the white felty-like part. The foam completely disintegrated on me. The drawback to the more rigid roller is that it makes getting into the curvy parts of the bathtub/sink areas tricky. Use a paint brush for these areas. 2. Do not think that letting the product sit 'longer' than 30 min-1 hour between first and second coats will make things better. I put one coat on some things, let it sit over night, and applied the second coat the next day. The areas that I applied the second coat within the 30min-1 hour range turned out much better. Areas I waited the next day to apply were slightly 'crackly' or have more of a hammered look. My fault! 3. It smells AWFUL. Do not use this in poorly ventilated areas-sounds like duh- but seriously-add a fan to your list of items to have on hand and open windows-blow fan so air goes outward otherwise you could blow dust particles inward which will then stick to all your hard work. 4. Try to let it sit longer than the 3 days if possible and do not color your hair or wash anything with dyes in it if you need to for a while...probably another duh-moment but the paint even after 3 days seems to want to absorb any color that it comes into contact with. I noticed it isn't as sensitive after a while longer. 5. Mentally prepare yourself for a gorgeous white bathroom. I went from a strange pink/brown bathroom to white and I am amazed at how much dirt accumulates and how that awful pink/brown hid so much! Your gonna want to make bathroom cleaning appear on chore lists a bit more frequently to keep it fresh. 6. Also, works amazingly well on wall tiles! I could see this being a great solution for kitchen back splash remodels on a budget as well. 7. Splurge on a new paint brush-don't use a paint brush that you've used previously and may have some sort of residues in it. Get a new paint brush just for this-and, it may sound wasteful but throw it away after-cleaning this stuff is not fun. No regrets. It feels like a whole new bathroom. Check out my before and after pictures. It turned out better than I expected. My entire bathroom remodel consisted of: -Tub and Tile resurfacing kits by RustOlium (I used it on the sink, tile walls, tub, and shower walls which took me 3 boxes (2 coats on everything) and nothing to spare at the end)= about 60 dollars -New roller and rolls (habitat for humanity restore)= 8 dollars -Used old paint brushes-next time would buy new one just for this so I've added it= 8 dollars -I used an aluminum 'lasagna' tray for holding the paint-I buy in bulk at costco so one= 1 dollar? -Lime Away= 10 dollars from Lowes -Tack cloths= 2 dollars from Lowes (one set of cloths is all you should need) -New door handles= 8 dollars from Lowes -White trim paint for door (already had it from previous projects) -Gray paint for walls (already had it from previous projects) -Stick down linoleum tiles from Lowes= 35 dollars -New curtain rod and hooks= 18 dollars from Lowes -New shower head and hose from Amazon with chromeo therapy (light) features=about 27 dollars total -New sink faucet= 35 dollars at Lowes -New shower curtain= Amazon for about 20 dollars-super neat curtain highly recommended Project total time while working full time job= 1 week Total Cost= approx 232 dollars...the finished look...priceless!
