National Pool Finishes Aqua Kote Acrylic Waterbase Pool Paint

We purchased this product and once we applied it and had it cure for five days (as directed) , we filled the pool up. ALL of the paint started peeling off. It has been a complete nightmare. I would be very cautious of purchasing this product.

Bought few of these to have double coverage (2nd coating) on my pool. It looks good at first but after a few months, the color starts to fades. In just over a years, I no longer see any trace of blue. The paint didn't peel off as I clean the pool thoroughly but the color just dont last. I have to repaint my pool again and I'm making sure Im not buying the same paint

I had some problems with about 10% blistering, even though I followed their recommendations for preparing the surfaces to be painted. The label says the pool should be dry for 5 days for the paint to cure properly. That is almost impossible in Florida and the water table is kind of high too, meaning that the pool starts to keep filling up with ground water.

This pool had not been used and was full of standing water for more than a year. The pool was cleaned with acid and TSP and pressure washed (2 x times). The pool was painted and allowed to dry for 4 days, standing rain water was pumped from the pool. The surface is clean and smooth, but after about 7 days, the paint begins to flake. We still have not filled the pool and are concerned that once the pool is filled the paint all over the pool will begin to flake. Even in areas where the pool is not flaking the paint can easily be scraped from the wall of the pool, which is an indication that the paint is not adhering to the surface. I removed the paint in a small area, cleaned and reapplied a new coat of paint. It still doesn't seem to be adhering to the surface. Not sure if it is the paint, or the preparation of the pool. Pool builder suggested epoxy paint or sand blast and re plaster of the pool. This was my first time painting a pool, so outside of thoroughly cleaning the pool there is nothing more I can do. I strongly suggest that before painting your pool that you apply the paint to a 1 foot area in the bottom of the pool and cover with water after the paint dries for a week .

This worked fine for me, covers well, but I don't have any other experience to compare. I did not use it on a pool. I used it on a basement shower that is cinder block. It had been painted before, beige with a gray floor, and I painted over it in white. It covered well and was easy to use. A small bubble chipped off and showed a bit of gray on the floor so it will need a touch up. I don't think that was anything wrong with the paint. The fumes are pretty strong and I don't think I had adequate ventilation, so it became fatiguing, but that's my problem not the paint's! I would buy it again.

So far easy to apply and easy clean-up. I have a vinyl pool and only used this product on the metal coping around the top. Needed 2 coats, would have given 5 stars if it had covered in 1 coat, but so far works well. Will update this review once I know durability.

Excellent value, covered with one coat, looks good. Used 3 gal for 16' x 32' indoor pool

Great paint.
