My wife wants to paint the concrete around our pool from the coping to 3 feet out. Her reasoning is the concrete gets to hot. I am not convinced this is the answer and can see problems in the future. Peeling paint, discoloration having to repaint in short order. Any thoughts or experience?

Buy it new every year from TF Pools so I know reagant is good. The water was cloudy and cleared quickly. Brand new sand filter no rise in pressure that was appreciated. No reason to backwash. Good points though. Thanks.
