This product comes in 2 1-gallon containers yet the description says it covers 125 sq ft per gallon. Does mixing the two cans together produce 1 or 2 gallons?

This product is mixed together to make 2 gallons of paint and will cover a total of 250 sq. ft.

I purchased a home with a pool that will need paint, but have no idea as to what type of paint was previously applied. Will the previous paint need to be removed (down to bare concrete)or will the epoxy adhere to all other paints?
 Reply

A  Answered on 6/11/2007 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

The Epoxy paint can only be used on top of Epoxy paint or concrete, so if you were not sure of the old paint we would recommend removing the old paint all the way down to bare concrete to assure the best results.

Will this product work on an acrylic swim spa?
 Reply

A  Answered on 12/6/2012 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

Per the manufacturer, the NA616 EP Hi-Build Epoxy will work as long as you mean the spa is made with an acrylic resin, not painted with an acrylic paint.  Epoxy paint cannot be applied over acrylic paint.

I am preparing to re-paint my pool which was previously painted with an epoxy paint. I am sanding the existing surface to remove all chalk and afraid the surface. If the RAMUC 2 gallon kit only covers 250 Sq.ft , will I need 2 coats?
 Reply

A  Answered on 4/27/2013 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

A re-coat is suggested. The guidelines for the re-coat are listed below: 125-250 square foot per KIT on bare, sandblasted, or rough surfaces. 250-400 square foot per KIT on re-coats. (Actual coverage will vary and is dependent upon the texture and profile of the surface. )Minimum dry film per coat: 5 mils dry (7.5 mils wet)Maximum dry film per coat: 8 mils dry (12.5 mils wet)

How long can this paint be stored? We've been having too much rain to paint and now the temperatures are going to be in the 90s and 100s which is too hot to paint in, right?
 Reply

A  Answered on 6/19/2016 by InyoPools Product Specialist Alex V.

Sharon, The paint can be stored in a cool, dry location for several months. I would not recommend storing it in a garage.

Painting over several coats of very good quality epoxy paint: Q.1: Am I correct in that no separate primer is required? Q.2: 20x40 pool, nice deep diving bowl of about 9', approximately how much paint is required? My memory is 6 gallons done by me in 1999, believe it or not!
