Anyone ever have a fiberglass tub/surround refinished before?
There's nothing wrong with it, except I just finished redoing the bathroom with a new white white vanity with manmade white marble top, new wallpaper, new ceramic floor, and new white watersaver comode, and the tub is IVORY! It stands out like a sore thumb!!! I'd like to find out the approximate cost to have the tub refinished and your satisfaction with it's durability.

I've painted lots of cars in the past, but never a fiberglass one, and I'm too chicken to try this project myself.

1. Just buy the refinishing kit

And do it yourself. It,s easy . The only fear you have to fear is fear itself.

Look at a refinishing kit, read the directions befor you buy it, when you are satisfied that you can, but it. I think home depot or lowes sells those.
