Who has experience resurfacing their own pool using an epoxy paint?

After you drain the pool do a acid wash and water mix in a sprayer, start at deep end doing the walls first down to the drain, then work your way out of the pool. As you wash let set a short time then rinse with water after your done pump out what you can of the water, finish removing the water til completely dry, pick your color and paint from deep to shallow.

Your pool was plastered with a product called Marcite and when the pool was finished it was washed the same way i described before filling. Maybe the acid wash will take care of the staining and you won't have to paint.

"Epoxy" paints usually come in two parts that have to be mixed right before you apply them. They don't dry by evaporating, rather, they harden from a chemical reaction between the two parts, a resin, and a hardener. There are a few things you may need before you start painting. You shouldn't need any special equipment per se, just some disposable surgical gloves, and a few disposable rollers and roller trays. Once the paint starts to harden, it is almost impossible to get off, so you'll have to just throw away your used equipment. Also, don't mix it all at one time, instead, mix a small amount, and when you run out, mix some more. Take some measurements of your garage area, and give them to the guy at the paint store. Once you mix the paint, you have to either use it or throw it away, so you want to get the right amount. better to have too much than too little, but you can still use any unmixed portions of the resin and hardener. Some paints labeled "epoxy" may not be true epoxies of the two part kind, but rather some type of oil or water based dispersion, or something else entirely. These are easier to use and clean up, but they are usually less desirable than two part paints. Two-part's usually require only one coat. Be sure to get plenty of ventilation, epoxies may smell kind of bad when you first apply them. Epoxies require a temperature of between 40-90 degrees to cure properly.They are also eye and skin irritant. If you get any on your skin, some nail polish remover should soften it enough to be able to rub it off. Other than that, remember, if all else fails, read the directions.

DO NOT EPOXY YOUR CONCREAT POOL, YOU WILL RUIN IT.

The plaster that was used in the construction of your pool will fail if you use epoxy. You need to replaster the pool about evry twenty years or so. Call you local pool contractor and have him look at the staining problems.
