There are many options for styles and colors, as well as price ranges, to fit a variety of budgets. A medium-sized pool can be painted for around $1,500. However, you can save money if you do it yourself. If you have severe cracks or need to make repairs to the plaster, I don't recommend this route.
You might find that your pool is covered in leaves, dirt, and debris. Some rust stains may also be visible that must be removed before proceeding. Even the smallest amount of residue can make your resurfacing project impossible. To remove any stains or algae, pressure wash the pool once you have removed most of the debris.
The plaster must be in a good state before you can paint a pool. Pros recommend that plaster surfaces be prepared using a wash of muriatic and then rinsed with TSP (trisodiumphosphate). (Note: Use muriatic or TSP with extreme caution and always read the instructions. The old paint should be compatible. Rubberized latex paint doesn't stick well to epoxy, and vice-versa.
