Excellent product. I thinned ~2:1 with Xylol to extend coverage. Applied very easily, covered well and filled small cracks & pits in my 40+ yr-old concrete pool. My only 'regret': wish I had gotten semi-gloss v. satin. My oversight. Now we will see how it holds up to chems and wear&tear.Cost was a huge advantage: < $50/gal. v. $120+/gal. for paint I have been used to buying. Also, excellent online order through Home Depot: just a few days, free delivery via curb-side pickup @ store. Thanks much!

We have used this product on a commercial pool for years. I don't know if we received old paint this time or what, but within three weeks, it's already flaking. Very disappointed!!!

I use this to paint an old satellite dish that was converted to an in-ground fountain. Cleaning does cause the paint to scratch away, but not too badly. This is my second gallon after a couple of years from the first paint job. I like it and it makes my fountain look good.

As described

The base was weak in some spots I notice, maybe because I don’t have a true mixture

We have used this paint many times as we prepare our ancient pool for yet another season. It is great and very think for handling cracks and, interestingly, the aquamarine seems to be better for that use than other colors.

I am going to be really honest with you today. I believe that the product has a shelf life and this was probably at the end of it. There was 1in at the bottom that I could not get out with a stir stick. I completely stirred the product for several minutes and as I started rolling it was fine but as I ended up there was no more slide or juice left it was just muck at the bottom of the bucket that was really hard to roll. The coverage per amount left was extremely exhausted. I managed to get two very exhausting coats on my pool but it was extremely sporadic. I was considering ordering two or three more gallons of acrylic to cover up the insufficient coverage but I did not and I filled the pool and I am not disgusted but it's not the best but I settled for it and it's not too bad looking but next year I will go with the acrylic. I've been painting my pool with ocean blue acrylic insulex for the last 25 years and I found that that is much better product. I would suggest that the solvent-based be used in small areas not a large pool unless there is a quality check on the age being sent to the homeowner. On the good side I believe that the thickness of the solvent base sealed all of the area but it did not produce a fine finish look because of the age of the product compared to the acrylic base which is extremely beautiful and easy to apply in all ways. Sorry thumbs down on the solvent-based chlorinated rubber paint.

Excellent paint. Great coverage with 2 coats. Outstanding color after drying.

Goes on think!!

Will be returning. The paint was old and half the can was bummed up. NOT ABLE TO USE

Use your product on a pool skimmer repair. Worked great

It's the first time that we've used this brand. It went on reasonably easy, and covered well. Follow the instructions and let each coat dry for 24 hours before adding a 2nd and possibly a 3rd coat. Then, as per the instructions, wait for 7 days before filling the pool.

Nice color

I like this color, it's nice!

The product creates an excellent rubber coating over the original concrete coping around the pool.

Went on easily and covered well. Have been enjoying the pool for a month. So far so good.

Hard to mix. Went on ok but after 2 weeks notice some blisters and fading after following all of the directions.

The paint has got bubbling once water is soaking it.

I have painted my pool many times with different products. INSL-X goes on thick and coats well. We went with aquamarine color rather than blue and happy we did. My favorite pool paint so far.

One of the two gallons I purchased was chunky and had started to set up when I first opened it. It didn’t stir in but stayed chunky. The other gallon was fine
