Metal Coping Paint Suggestions?

[madyogi]

Hey, all. We are having our liner replaced in the next couple of weeks. Cover is off. Pool is drained. Liner is ordered. We have a standard metal coping around the pool that is white. It is showing some of the metal after wear and tear of several seasons. What is the best paint to use to make it all pretty before the liner goes in?

Nothing is standard around a pool. Post some pics of your coping and the issues and lets see what ideas people have.

Yeah, apologies for the lack of specificity. Here's what we have going on:



They came out Friday and measured for the liner, so we probably still have 2 weeks, maybe a bit more before the new liner is in. We definitely want to touch up the coping if we can.

I would put on a metal primer and then an oil based enamel paint. Clean the coping well before painting.

I wanted to update this when complete. We ended up using a spray metal primer in flat white. Put two coats on, then let dry overnight. The next day we used 4" rollers to put on white epoxy paint made for garage floors and other high-traffic areas.

Made a huge difference!



New liner should be going in Saturday!

Looks good. It's all in the prep. Spraymax 2k epoxy cans in flat white match well and hold up excellent but pricey
