Directions

1. Clean your tub. Wash away any mildew or soap scum with an abrasive cleaner like Comet
2. Rinse the tub with warm water after cleaning
3. Remove the caulk between the tile and the tub. You might need to use a razor to loosen it up more
4. Clean the tub with an abrasive pad and cleaner
5. Use a sanding sponge to rough up the surface, then rinse the tub to remove any dust
6. Use painter's tape to mask off any tile and hardware that you don't want to get paint on
7. Make sure to properly ventilate the bathroom while painting. Open doors, windows and even run a fan while working
8. Follow the instructions on the painting kit for mixing and pouring paint.
9. Begin to paint the tub with a small roller. This will give the paint a super smooth finish
10. Let paint dry for one hour and then apply a second coat
11. Let the second coat dry for one hour and then remove the painters tape
12. Re-caulk between the tile and the tub

Tips

• Instead of putting painters tape on bathtub hardware like drains or knobs, you can remove them before you paint.
• Try not to repeatedly roll over areas with paint. This will make the paint uneven.
• You have to wait 3 days before exposing your tub to water and avoid any hard abrasive cleaners.
