    Restoring a 1976 Coleco aluminum pool, looking for parts

    Here’s some pictures. I even have the owners manual. Coleco pools I’m told were bought out by Lomart and the Lomart Gray Mist looks similar to this pool. Appears to have the exact same top rails.

    Restoring a 1976 Coleco aluminum pool, looking for parts

    Hi, I recently inherited a 1976 Coleco pool, in relatively good condition. I was impressed with how thick some of these parts were, like the plates under the top rail caps.

    grease/oil, is it bad for the liner?

    When sprayed on metal, does it protect against rust? How much would I need for about 350 square feet and what is the approximate cost?
