Has anyone refinished their fiberglas pool? I have that job coming up this Fall.
I already bought a small amount of gelcoat from a fiberglas shop nearby and recoated the above water portion. I just did some sanding to rough up the existing coat and applied the gel coat with a paint roller. It worked OK except I guess I had too much activator because it hardened way too quickly.
I am in Texas so while I am scared to drain the pool I don't really think it will pop up.
Would appreciate any tips or personal experiences.
The contractor wants $7000 to do it which is why it has become a DIY project.
