Vinyl pool edge strips....removal,paint?

[ashtonbritney]

Hi all,
So as some of you know we bought a new house to us but an older home with an older inground pool(guessing 20yrs). Anyways, the edging is awful. How do you remove it/put it back on? Do I resurface pain or replace? Thought I would ask before I start!

You cant remove them they are part of the liner track. There are some good cleaners on the market that will help but it's a poor choice of material. The aluminum ones clean up nice and can be painted, I cant say I've ever seen a vinyl set painted and I doubt it would hold up for long. Lots of elbow grease on this one

These are metal...so no way to take them off clean and paint?

sorry i thought you posted they were the plastic ones. they dont come off. they are screwed down to the top of the pool wall and it is a combination concrete form and liner track. you can sand them in place and paint in place. that is the only way
