I am looking to paint my gunnite pool with epoxy based paint. Looking to paint it from natural white/concrete color to more of a royal blue color to hide dirt a little better and to also help heat pool better. Any recommendations for choosing an epoxy paint? TIA

I assume if no paint then I should replaster? Can I add the color to it? How much am I looking at to replaster? Roughly 32k gallon pool. Not sure when it was last replastered but definitely not in last 9 years

Yes.
Colored regular palster should not cost much more than white.
You have to call around and get some quotes. Prices vary widely across areas.
If you already have two layers of plaster on the pool you should get a full chipout of the old plaster.
You can get blue plaster or a variety of different colors. Cost will vary a lot depending on location and contractor availability. I got quotes from $12k-16k on my 27k gallon pool.
The issues with the paint stuff is that it only tends to last a couple years before flaking or chalking up.

Replastering is a more permanent solution. Usually you want to save up for that kind of investment because it might also be a good idea to redo coping or tiles or both at the same time. Pools can be replastered with doing tile work but the plaster applicator needs to know what their doing or else they can screw up the existing tile line.
You’ll get more interest from contractors in your pool renovation job if it’s more than just a replaster.
