Hello, I was hoping that someone could give me some advice. I have been renovating a pool that was filled in with dirt at one point. It is all excavated and I have been working on it non stop. It was very stained from being filled with dirt for so long so I decided to paint it. I am new to pools. In fact I have never had one so Im literally learning everything as I go.
I thought the pool was just plaster. Since I was too excited and wanting to not waist time I bought some paint. This is what I bought: Zinsser 5 gal. Blue Flat Oil-Based Swimming Pool Paint-260542 - The Home Depot
Well turns out it was painted. I believe it was chlorinated rubber. I rubbed some mineral spirits on it with no reaction so I have ruled out acrylic. I have pressure washed it non stop and have gotten most of it off. The problem is that there is still a small layer of the paint on a lot of it, as in you dont feel the rough plaster. But when you look at it, it looks like the paint is off.
Does anyone have any idea how this oil based paint would react if I put it on the bit of film. Will it literally fall off anywhere if it is not on pure plaster? If it can hold up for 2 years I will be over the moon. This is really a side project of mine that Im fighting not to turn into a money pit boondoggle. Is there any kind of primer I could put on to make them fuse together?
Anyone that has any advice on this please let me know!
