Good idea, Sharon...very good idea.

I was once asked to paint a pool...and they couldn't afford me. They wanted seahorses, dolphins, tons of fish, shells, coral.well, you get the idea. They wanted to pay me $600. It would have taken me 3 weeks.

Now why didn't I think of that?

cuz we need each other to help our brains work properly!

Trouble is, it probably only comes in multi gallon containers and you'd only need a small amount. I don't know, but I'll bet it or the kind used to seal basements might work.

....or maybe get my brain to slow down! I swear with all these ideas I'll never have enough time to get them all done!

I have an artist friend who lives in the UK and she just painted a pool. I'll go hunt her down and find out what she used. See you later!

Epoxy?? Is that what it's called?

Yes Ms. Art Teacher! You win the prize! It is Epoxy!

The longest-lasting of the pool paints is the High Build 2-part Epoxy paint, which has up to 8 year service life.

It does come in huge containers but maybe a pool builder would give or sell a little bit to you.

Hmmm, I don't know any "pool builders" but wonder if the water gardening place fairly close to me would have something like this?

Lovin' this idea! I'm sure pool painters always have a little left they don't use.

There's another kind of epoxy used to paint bathroom tile. I used it once when we were re-decorating a boat. It had old ceramic tile in the bath and I hated the pukey color. So I painted it using epoxy. I have no idea where I got the paint, but I think it might have been at a place where they worked on houseboats and motor yachts. It came in a small container, I know, because that bathroom was very small. I wouldn't have needed a gallon. It was also 2 part and had toxic fumes, so I opened all the boat windows and used fans to ventilate.

So, maybe a boat dealership or boat yard, some place like that?

good idea, Sharon! (insert light bulb icon here )

Sharon...you need a Garden Art Badge. Run to the store to get yours!

I'm so silly I wanted one, I'm like a kid in a candy store....

we all are....it makes life a little more fun...I love looking at everyone's...it gives me a small glimpse into details about their life. Lots more are coming.

Oops, I had to literally 'run to the store'. My cats were hungry. Just got back.
OH...Boo, do a kitty cat badge and a dog badge for our pets.

That would be fun.

I'm betting even paint stores or even the big box stores would carry epoxy paint.

I googled it and it even came in spray as well

Got it! Picked up a daylily one too. Mostly 'cause that's all that's blooming in this heat right now.

YAY Sharon!

Vic, spray epoxy will be great!

I'm doing a quick run through G-Art and taking a nap. My couch is calling my name.

What great news to find out about this epoxy. Guess I'll need to find more room to store stuff!
