Hello and thank you for the opportunity to join this pool community. I have an upcoming pool resurfacing project starting on Nov 3rd and I’m trying to absorb as much information as I can about source types and color options. We are located in Northern CA and currently have the original white plaster that has held up remarkably for the past 27 years!! We began getting rust spots about 2 years ago and we are finally biting the bullet and having it resurfaced. The tile is also in good shape, so we are uncertain if we are going to change it out or just have it cleaned. Our pool is approx 20,000 gallons and is in direct sun for most of the day. We are leaning towards a light, light gray plaster or a white based QuartzScape product. Any input on suggestions or recommendations would be appreciated. Thank you!

I am also looking at quartz. I have it narrowed down thru research to Luna Quartz, Quartzscapes and Colorscapes. I wish I could find pools with them but can’t 
. Now we need to see and feel samples in person.
