From what I have read on here, painting will actually cause more problems than help. It is a cheaper alternative yes, but when it starts to throw off your water balance due to peeling it may make you think. Remember hindsight always 20/20. I would listen to the people here and try to return the paint.
Here is what i tried so far Lime away, sos pads, kaboom. All worked about the same, not very well with a lot of elbow brease. Going to try a stronger solution of muratic tomorrow and elbow grease. Thanks for all comments.
Do not paint, all you are doing is causing yourself issues with in a year and a huge expense to fix it down the road. The white line is calcium and is almost impossible to remove and will be back within 6 months.. Some company's offer a bead blasting to remove calcium.
The issue with painting it is that every 5-6 years you will need to remove the paint and start again.
you may also get a lot of paint flaking off long before that

I have never used this, but it looks promising http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVuSEqkAToA maybe someone else will comment, but it is just a circular pumice stone. I believe they are carried at a national chain PS and may be in stock locally.
