I'm currently redoing all the bathtubs in a motel, preparation is everything. Make sure you clean the tub with soap, strip or scrape off ALL the old epoxy, use an abrasive cleaner like CLR, fill and sand any holes or imperfections, vacuum, and depending on your tub and weather you stripped all the epoxy or not, sand it down to create a paintable surface for the epoxy to adhere to. I used 60, then 80, then 220, then 400. use a blow torch or heat gun to get rid of bubbles. Make sure you put on the second coat within 3 hours or wait until it's fully cured to paint it again. I also use a space heater and torch to heat up the tub before hand, and leave a space heater after painting to help it cure faster (down time cost money)
We just purchased 50 of the two part roll on kits. This is not a small or easy project. Do your research and prep work. That being said I think I will purchase a few of these for touch up work on fully cured tubs or <4 hour gelled state tubs, as the comments say it's finish is identical to the roll on. It's not a glossy finish per se, but if you wet sand it with higher grits it can be achieved. Personally I think it looks great when done right. Decent learning curve though. Also remove the tape 4 hours after the last coat to prevent the epoxy ripping when removing it. I use three fans and the bathroom exhaust as there are no windows in the motel bathrooms and they're located all the way inside.
Orbital sander and blocks used to sand, some tubs can be painted by just sanding or etching, some of them need the epoxy scraped off. Use a n95 respirator with the CARTRIDGES as well, not the p100 disks, as you need the carbon filter for the vapors. don't let it get on anything this job has ruined my favorite work pants. I think that's all
