About this item

  • In The Swim super epoxy paint is a great option for covering the interior surface of your swimming pool. This is a high quality paint that is incredibly durable, and will last up to eight years with simple routine maintenance before repainting is necessary.
  • Our paint can help seal small cracks in the pool surface. Once applied, this paint will create a highly polished, unified surface that is hard, abrasion-resistant, and non-porous. Giving your swimming pool that professional look for years to come.
  • Rain or morning dew won't affect the pools surface if its been at least three hours after completion. A milky discoloration may occur on the epoxy, not within the coating. However, that discoloration will disappear within a few weeks after filling the pool with water, leaving an immaculate coat of paint behind.
  • Epoxy pool paint will not adhere well to other paints, it is best to use a power washer to remove prior to painting. The hardening process for epoxy will take about a week for an outdoor swimming pool, and two weeks for an indoor pool.
  • CAUTION: epoxy based paints can make steps, shallow water, and wadding pools to become possible slipping hazards. To protect users, make these areas slip resistant by very lightly sifting silica sand on the paint while it is wet.

Product Description

In The Swim Super Poxy
Super Poxy Shield Epoxy-Based Paint

In The Swim Super Poxy Shield Epoxy-Base Swimming Pool Paint

In The Swim Super Poxy Shield pool paint is the highest-quality epoxy pool coating available. A single coat lasts up to 8 years. If you are painting a bare surface, please make sure you prime the surface before rolling the Super Poxy Shield. Super Poxy Shield over an Epoxy Primer will deliver a stain-resistant, tile-like finish on the pools interior. Due to the tile-like finish, we suggest sprinkling sand on the coating before it dries for steps, shallow areas and wading pools. This will make these areas slip-resistant. Start rolling paint with the walls of the pool first and finish with the floor last. Coverage: Approximately 125 - 150 square feet average per gallon. Should be applied liberally using a 1/2" nap roller cover. Pot Life: 30 minutes at 85°F and above.

Curing Time

Curing time will vary depending on the outside ambient air temperature. If the outside ambient air temperature is 60 - 65° F cure time will be 6 days. For every 5° F lift in outside ambient air temperature that will cut a day off of the cure time.

Durable & Lasts for Years!

  • Ideal for use on Plaster, Gunite, Concrete, and Fiberglass gel-coat surfaces
  • A single application can last up to 7 - 8 years
  • Delivers a stain-resistant, tile like finish
  • Please Note: Epoxy Primer is required for new applications
  • Coverage: 125 - 150 sq ft per gallon on average

Steps to Paint Your Pool

Measure Area size of Pool

Drain pool to let surfaces fully dry

Remove return jets to paint

Determine Area Size

Determining the square foot of the area you are going to paint is important. This will help you figure out how many gallons of paint are needed to complete the job. It’s important to take the surface porosity and smoothness into account. When looking at how much paint you should purchase. Start by measuring the length and width of the area. Once you have those measurements plug them into the formulas below. Divide that number by the coverage square foot of the paint you are wanting to use. That will give you the number of gallons that you should purchase. Remember to look and see if the paint requires single or multiple coats and if it needs a primer.

Drain Water

Now that you have selected the paint type and know the square footage of the interior, it’s time to drain the pool. Rent or purchase a submersible pump. As soon as the outside ambient air temperature drops below 85° F. Check the local code for where pool water can be drained and start pumping. If the outside ambient air temperature is above 85° F stop draining the pool. At these elevated temperatures, the interior surface can crack and lose its structural integrity. While the pool is draining, remember that you can start to prepare the pool for paint.

Prepare for Paint

Now that the pool has been drained, you can start to prep the interior for paint. Start by removing the perimeter return jets, pool/spa light, main drain covers, aerator fittings and any other item you don’t want painted. Using painters tape, carefully tape off all the tile line, step/bench tiles, return lines, and skimmer mouth. Once you have everything taped off it’s time to prime.

Fill and Balance after painting

Primer Coat

Now that the pool has been drained and taped, it’s time to prime. Remember not all types of paint use a primer. So if you have paint that doesn’t use a primer, skip to the painting step. Roll the primer onto the interior surface of the pool using a 9” roller with a ½” nap, starting with the walls and ending with the floor. Once you’ve completed priming allow the prime to cure for 24 - 48 hours. Then it’s time to paint.

Painting Interior

The pool has now been drained, taped, and primed. It’s time for paint. The type of paint you choose will determine the number of coats. Start painting the walls first and finish with the floor. If the paint you are using requires a time period in between coats, make sure you take that time. It will allow the paint to cure and harden increasing its chemical resistance and life span. It is suggested for steps, shallow areas and wading pools, sprinkle sand on the coating before it dries to make the area slip-resistant.

Fill and Balance

Now that the pool is painted and the paint has cured, it’s time to fill the pool and balance the water. Depending on your area you may need to order a water truck to deliver. If you have a garden hose available, toss it in. The average pool should take anywhere from 36 - 48 hours to fill. Once the pool is full allow the fresh water to circulate for 3 - 4 hours. After the circulation period it’s time to complete the first water test of many on the new water. Make sure to test the water weekly to maintain proper water balance and overall pool health.

First, I want to thank everyone who has ever written a review (good or bad) for the products I used for this project. This product worked great and I am happy with the finished result. I followed each step meticulously and took my time to be thorough. I recommend 2 people for the DYI ers. TSP wash, pressure wash. muriatic acid wash with Biodex, TSP wash again. I primed the surface even though it was not required. I ensured all loose paint was gone before priming. The instructions for mixing the epoxy is specific. Read the label and follow the directions based on the temperature outside. I did one coat and a second spot coat in a few areas I did not cover well with the first coat. I allowed up to 10 days to dry. We had a few overnight rain falls. Invest in a wet/dry vac to keep the surface in the deep end as dry as possible if it rains. Take out your hydrostatic plugs if you can. I was able to take one out and constantly checked the USGS website for ground water table levels iny area. Please be safe when using all products. Use protective clothing, respirator mask, rubber boots and gloves during your process. In the Swim has a great blog on their website to help you do your research and planning for a project like this. The color is "Pool Blue" not "Dark Blue". I only had one can of Dark Blue at the time and it was out of stock. The "Pool Blue" worked out great. Lastly, you must put an additive or sand on the steps during the priming/painting stage to ensure roughness. Make sure you add it evenly. I added two packs way more than what was advised. You pool steps will be slick if you don't do this. I appreciate every YouTube video, blog, and review that helped educate me to complete this job.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pool looks nice and sparkly again!
Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2021
Nice thick paint which goes on smooth and covers nicely. Use a 1/2” or bigger nap roller to make it cover in one coat. I used the “Pool Blue” color which is supposed to be the lighter blue. Its still a little darker than I was expecting but it looks very nice actually. The paint is glossy so its a bit slippery when walking on the steps. But you can use some anti-skid additive if you want more grip. My 15,000 gallon pool took 3 gallons of primer and 2 gallons of this paint.

Tip: Bend a metal coat hanger or a spoon or fork and attach it to a drill to make mixing the paint easier.

5.0 out of 5 stars Professional epoxy paint
Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2022
Scrub with TSP. Rinse well then Sand lightly and rinse well. Repair cracks with fiberglass kit. I bought just 1 gal of primer for bare spots and repaired fiberglass areas. 3 gallons of dark blue was plenty for 1 coat on 7500 gal pool.
Mix well with drill paint stirrer. Let stand 15 and you have 40 minutes until paint will start to thicken and become unusable. This is an epoxy paint so strong that removing plastic spacers from behind the ladder pulled fiberglass from the wall of the pool.
After painting the steps I immediately sprinkled sand with my skimmer net while still wet as the warnings are true the high gloss paint is slippery when wet!
Make sure you get the color you want as this epoxy paint is not returnable unless you refuse shipment and that can be a nightmare with Fed-Ex. Customer service is very friendly and we were able to get it done as I ordered the light blue by mistake. The dark blue is nice but not as dark as I originally wanted. I knew that going in from these reviews.
Again this is a professional epoxy paint. If you follow instructions and prepare methodically, the pool will turn out perfectly.
