As with any pool painting project, the pool surface should first be thoroughly acid washed, treated with phosphate to remove oils, algae as well as the acid itself, and then hosed off before using Poxoprime II (please see details in the Product Resource Center to the right). This process creates a clean surface, ensuring a durable bonding of the layers of primer and paint.

 

Like the epoxy paints which are often applied to it, Poxoprime II is comprised of primer and a separate catalyst, which are mixed together just before applying to the pool surface. The result applies evenly but coating should be done fairly quickly, particularly in warmer temperatures. One gallon of Poxoprime II covers a minimum of 200 square feet, providing a dramatically smoother surface to extend the life of epoxy coatings.
