What the pool paint manufacturers don’t tell you.
That is very true because all paints in time will chalk because of the clay fillers that they have in their product. The initial paint on your marcite plaster should last 3 to 4 years. During that 3 to 4 year period the paint starts to chalk. Pool paint manufacturers claim for a second coat you have to acid wash, power wash then you are ready for your next coat of paint. This is not true. Your original paint is still chalking, creating a barrier that will not permit the second coat to adhere. We will not sell our UltraGuard unless you prep your pool properly. We don’t want the track record that conventional paints have. When you apply our penetrating sealer bond coat it actually becomes part of the pool structure. Our top color coat has an adhesive strength of 2000 psi. You now have a no fail system.
Do it once, do it right!
