Sorry, guys, I was cross-referencing to Bobert's excellent advice which I already read in the thread on painting panelling, so thanks for the link but "been there, got the t-shirt".

I still don't get what specifically Bobert is going to paint. Is it the bathtub or something else? Is it a U.S. of A. thing we are talking about or does it translate across the pond as well.

And, Kaleea, try not to scare me too much about the epoxy thing. Please! Because I've already done it and I don't like the thought of it bubbling up and making a mess. We might need to install a new bathtub whether we like it or not.
