From A Ramuc PDF. I highly recommend their paint. Also make sure you prep the surface correctly for proper adhesion. Let us know what type of paint you have and we can go from there.
To determine the type of coating you may have on your pool or slides please follow
the procedure outlined below:
Apply denatured alcohol to a clean cloth and rub onto surface. If the paint sof-
tens then the coating is probably a water-based acrylic paint.
Apply Xylene or Xylol to a clean cloth and rub onto surface. If the paint softens,
put a small amount of Xylene or Xylol on your finger and rub the surface in cir-
cles. If it softens and “strings” the paint is probably a chlorinated rubber based
paint. If the coating softens but does NOT string, then it is probably a synthetic
rubber. If nothing happens to the paint coating when you rub the surface with
the Xylene on the cloth, then the paint is most likely an epoxy, or a gel coat.
NOTE:
For testing a white surface use a dark colored cloth
For testing a colored surface use a white cloth.
If there is any doubt as to the type of paint on the surface, take a sample to your
local paint store or dealer to send to RAMUC (800-745-6756) for definitive analysis
