Refinish a Fiberglass Shower
Refinishing a fiberglass shower can administer a cursory makeover to a stupid and drab bathroom. A elfin epoxy paint can blaze up the existing beholding or suggestion a exhaustive colour interchange. A miniature sanding, delineation and a healthy awe for the effective fumes from epoxy stain are all you must to employ this home improvement project.
Instructions
1. Disinfected the fiberglass shower stall and tray with a gentle bathroom cleaner. Squeeze new caulk around the edges of the fiberglass shower. Allow adequate drying time. Finish the project by cleaning any epoxy paint that has dripped onto the floor or the shower hardware with a little paint thinner.
2. Sand the fiberglass using fine-grain sandpaper. Corner the NIOSH grade respirator mask on and mop the sanded surface with a sponge soaked in TSP cleaner. These masks are available at most inland improvement centres. Wear safety glasses when working with the chemicals to avoid splashing any in your eyes.
3. Degree and cut the plastic sheeting material and tape off the ceiling area. If the shower tray is the only part that is fiberglass, measure the plastic material and tape off the shower walls extremely.
4. Apply the epoxy paint to the fiberglass surface with a paintbrush. Let the paint dry according to the directions on the paint container. Add as many layers as needed to create a gloss finish. Lightly sanding the fiberglass surface between layers of epoxy paint will improve the shine and remove any runs that develop.
5. Remove the masking tape and plastic sheeting. Dry the fiberglass with paper towels. Employ the screwdriver or putty scalpel to remove all of the ancient caulking. Abode the pieces on paper towels in the shower tray, wrap them up and discard.
