Ok, so i had a pool contractor come out and take a look at my pool. It appears that the pool has been acid washed before and it may have taken a few layers off. Pool guys said that he also DOES Not recomend for me to paint my pool. As stated here, if I do paint it, then I will have to repaint every 2-3 years no matter what. So painting the pool is out of the question. I will look for a way to repair the top step but for sure NO PAINT.
