Rust-Oleum 396969 Marine Coatings Wood and Fiberglass Primer, Quart, White

Great when paired with rustoleum marine fiberglass paint. Our old shower looks awesome. Holds up great. NOTE: Refer to YouTube videos first on details of how to paint shower walls and safety tips. Very strong odor. Need well-ventilated area.

Purchased for a badly worn fiberglass tub (tub had been previously refinished). Do the prep, rough and fine sanding, vacuum rinse and wipe down. Wear a good mask (organic) I use lots of oil paint and this made me loopy. Check out my soda bottle funnel to keep the spout from dripping in the tub (sweet). Roll it on with low nap mini roller, corner touch up with brush, let primer cure full 72 hours, sand primer coat, vacuum and wipe with mineral spirits. Paint on the sister top side coat (color of your choice), two coats and you might want to put in the grit for tub, finish is slippery. Wait the full 72 hours, I could only do 48. A good paint store may tint the primer for you (if they like you). Don't use a bathmat or at least take it it out after each shower. The trapped soap and mold under the bath mat will eat into the finish. Not right away but it will. There's enough primer in one qt. to do entire tub and surround. You would need two quarts of topcoat in order to do two coats on the tub and enclosure, especially tan over white primer. This was for my mother so she only got the tub done. Just kidding, it's a rental property and I don't want to spoil them. They'll be asking for an indoor toilet if I did the whole thing.

Great easy to go on

I have not had a chance to actually use this product yet. The bad news, when I opened the box, it had been dropped somewhere. The can top was dented and cover off. Worse, the impact had torn the plastic bag they wrap it in. Paint sort of exploded everywhere as I ran out of the house to toss it outside. SO, when you get a package of paint, open it outside first. The good news. Rustoleum customer support is extraordinary. I called (it's a bit to get through their phone tree, but what company isn't these days?) and they way more than made up for my trouble. By a lot. Cannot recommend this company enough.

Unlike latex paint that can be stirred fairly quick even if heavily settled, this stuff had an inch of sludge that took a full 10 minutes of dedicated stir to get "most" of it mixed. That is eternity for a quart of paint.After using an inch of the can, I was able to stir more vigorously and still took a few minutes to get it mixed. There was still smaller strands of gunk but I was able to deal with it.The product itself is great.

Dries to touch super fast....Great primer....You have to work quick though if you are rolling inwarm temperatures.

This saved me thousands of dollars! I’ve trying to get a contractor come give me a bid to replace the shower stall, they never showed! So I came across this and thought I’d give it a try.-the primer is thick and settled on the bottom, my husband put an attachment on his drill and in less than 5 minutes, it was mixed and read to use, no big deal-it is extremely strong, we have no fan in the bathroom, 4 days later I’m still flying high 🤣 probably should have masked up or used a fan-I sanded the fiberglass shower with 220 grit, then used a cloth to wipe it off, then started priming.-cranked my thermostat to 75 degrees, the primer dried and I started painting within an hour. On my 36” shower, I had just enough primer to do the walls and pan with one coat. Then I used the Rust-Oleum paint and did only one coat, had leftover paint from my one quart can. It was close with the primer, I was definitely sweating running out, but one quart accomplished the job.-start to finish including sanding, primer, and paint, only took 4 hours-End result…. I spent $70 and it looks like a new surround, wish I had done it 2 years ago when I bought the house!

Decided instead of replacing the fiber glass bath tub I would repaint it and boy did it to a wonderful job. It's been about 4 month and the paint hasn't chipped or cracked. Tuff stuff!
