I'm not clear about what you mean by a bathtub enclosure, either.

I just recently re-surfaced a bathtub with 2-pack epoxy. It wasn't a difficult job, and not a lot of preparation apart from washing the tub thoroughly and sanding it down.

It's in a rental property we just bought and are fixing up so no-one has used the bath yet. I don't know how well it will stand up to use and cleaning, but we didn't want to replace the tub just yet and couldn't work a nice colour scheme between the yuk green bath and the recently painted bright purple wall - which I like. There were only 2 colour choices - white & vanilla (a cream colour) when I bought the 2-pack a few years ago - to use on my own bath and hubby butted in & said no. Still have the cruddy old bath & the bathroom to go with it. %##@# !

BTW, Bobert, I'm about to start painting that cheap panelling in one of the bedrooms in the next week or so. Hubby reckons we don't need to sand it because he has a really good undercoat. Hmmm! I'll do a practice patch first, I think, and see how resilient it is to scratches etc. I'm more inclined to believe you about the sanding down beforehand.
