384166 Tub And Tile Refinishing 2-Part Kit, Gloss Coastal Fog

First of all let me just say right up front. I am 72yrs old and yes I have used this product and my review is my honest opinion. No one has offered me anything for my opinion and I do not have an agenda for giving my option. It is honest and true. That being said I will tell anyone who wants to know. I have read some of the positive and some of the negative reviews. Ther is a lot of truth in both. Except where someone who has been lazy and down right negative from the start. Does this product have a strong odor? Yes yes yes it definitely does. Is this product easy to use? Let me say this. If you are afraid of a little hard work and just plain lazy you need to look else where. But if you want a nice looking clean looking outcome and dont mind the work then this is your product. I have just finished my second tub unit. First I researched this product throughly last year before Thanksgiving. I have a own ŵhouse that was built in 1986 that was my mom's. It's mine now. I have done a lot of work in it and wanted to do something in the bathroom with the fixtures. The tub unit was original the toilet and sink had been replaced with white. The tub was that brown color and was faded looking. I didn't want the expense to replace it so I looked at options. That's how I found the Rustoleum tub and tile gloss white finish. The price was right and I was willing to get my hands dirty and work hard. Let me just say right here. A negative mind produces a negative out come. ALWAYS. I was skeptical to say the least. Do I expect this to be a job that will last 50yrs? No i do not. Do I expect this finish to look like a factory produced new unit? No I donot. Now right down to the truth. Starting out with a dark color going to an expected white finish I knew was going to be a.challenge to begin with. If at all possible. I am not a professional painter nor a contractor of any kind. With the cost roughly around $50 how could go wrong. Let me say yes there is a very strong odor. I used a respiratory and highly recommend using one. The first coat is just a base coat. DO NOT keep going over the same area . It will get tacky and not do well. Start with a thin coat and move on. Don't linger and waste time. If you don't have a couple hours to devote to this project do not start it. Cover with the base coat. Don't expect great coverage to begin with. Wait at least one hour before a second coat. Do expect there to be some minor streaks. If you encounter bumps and little specks then after that first hour lightly use a t least a 220 grit sand paper. This is not a job for the lazy. Continue with the second coat. Do not work slowly. Take the time to work with it but do not keep going over the same area. The product self levels as time goes on. I used three -four coats. DO NOT use a foam roller whatsoever!! It will come desolve and come apart melt if you will. I made.this mistake . I changed to another type 1/4 in nap. And finished allowing it to dry. After Christmas I used 220 grit WET sanded it and applied another coat this week. It is a very nice finish. Yes it does have a texture to the finish. Some have referred to as orange peel. That is true but ok in my book. I don't know how this product will hold up over the ⁴long haul but listen it looks very nice I am happy with it and my friend had me just finish her tub yesterday. Long story short. Would I recommend this product....if you are not afraid of a little work and willing to have a positive attitude and realistic expectations then go for it. I can't speak of how long this product will hold up over the.long haul but if it lasts for a few years it will be well worth the money. I can always do it again. And not have spent thousands for a new tub. But in my opinion I do have a.new tub. Thanks for your time. Now go do some work and get yourself a great looking clean tub..and get over the fear of the fumes.

The rust-oleum product was great to refinish the tile surround of my tub - it was a little watery to work with at first even though I stirred for quite a while - perhaps I should have stirred longer. Be sure to prep your surface well and tape off an cover any surfaces you do not want to get paint on. I ended up doing 3 coats and waiting for at least an hour between coats. 1 can was plenty for the area I completed - I still had a 1/4 can left when I was completed. The bug negative I have with this product is the odor. I opened the windows, had a fan going and wore a face mask but that was not enough. As other reviews have stated, this stuff has a strong, toxic odor. Definitely do not go with a regular paining mask - make sure to order an industrial respirator if you do not have one - you will need it. The toxic smell permeated throughout my whole house - I ended up having to open multiple windows and it took about a day for the smell to dissipate. With all that said, the finish turned out nice - very glossy and looks like it was always white. As you can see from the picture I had a brownish/beige tile and a white tub - the rustoleum paint is so white it makes my tub look like gray now - not a big deal but just something to note. It's only been about 3 weeks since I completed this project so I can't attest to how it will hold up yet - will update if any issues with adhesion arise. I also had to refinish my walk in shower as well but I ended up buying another product that had low odor because I could not imagine dealing with the toxic smell again so I used DWIL Tub and Tile refinishing for the shower - it was a little more expensive but has little to no odor - it worked fine but does not have that glossy shine like rust-oleum. Overall, if you can get pass the dealing with the odor for a day then, for $43 this is a good product to use to make a great upgrade to old tiles.

Super strong fumes, but expected that. What I didn’t expect was the durability. I refinished the shower/tub three months ago and even with bathing a 60lb dog we don’t have a single scratch. It’s not a permanent fix for me, but it’ll work great for a couple of years until I can do a full remodel. Filled in all those tiny cracks that had me nervous about water damage and/or mold. Covered well and looks way better than the ugly dirty rose 80’s tile that we were living with!

I really would love to give this product five stars it looks and turned out incredible totally worth the money. I started off with one kit. It was not enough. You have to trust the process because halfway in you’re thinking this is going to look terrible. After you put that second coat on, it looks great, but I didn’t have enough for my tub and I feel like this is a standard size tub. Because I was short on material I had to go back and re-sand everything before I put the second coat on. Turned into a two day project. And this stuff smells so bad. The smell will linger for a few days. I recommend Wizzy roller. My first coat I applied with a foam roller that said it was a finish roller it put foam chunks into the paint. I wish I would’ve read this review before I started. It could’ve saved me a lot of time.

Takes a few coats didn’t quite get finish I wanted on the sink. But struggled with roller type. Very smelly for 3 days. But overall good product

Absolutely love this product! Actually ordered another one to add to my project! Gave me exact results i was looking for! Cost me 200$ to make my ugly bathroom completely retiled professionally!!! Porcelaine finish! Would have cost minimum 1000$ to retile plus the hassle! Took 3 hours in all for 2 coats of magic! Very impressed! and i never really take the time to review…but believe this product… and result of my reno.. deserves it! Recommend 200%

It's good stuff. You must buy a paint respirator at your hardware store to use this paint (a mask won't cut it). The smell is over the top. Make sure your surface is spotless (use acetone to prep.) and you'll have a good outcome. It's runny paint; very thin. The working time isn't very long if it's hot and you have a fan in the room. Paint quickly and take the paint out of the room and throw a heater and a fan on your project. It will be dry in no time. Hit it at least 3 times. It really is an awesome product if you know what you are doing. I did 4 coats on this little shower pan in one hour and it turned out better than I'd imagined. P.S. The faster it dries, the faster the toxic smell will subside. Throw a heater and a fan on it and cook it as soon as you're done. The tenant had to sleep in that apartment that night!
