Something to keep in mind when painting a pool is that it apparently will tend to chalk off on swimmers feet when it starts to age. Read pooldoc's comments on an old PoolLetter from 2010 here: http://www.poolforum.com/pf2/showthr...ighlight=chalk


My gunite pool is starting to look less than perfect and I've decided not to paint because of this. I decided I'd rather have some discoloration than chalking problems - when it gets bad enough (hopefully several years from now) I'll resurface.
