If re-coating an existing interior, one coat is suggested. A second coat may be required on unpainted or porous surfaces. Chlorinated Rubber-Base Pool Paint has excellent chemical resistance and color retention, allowing the paint to last 3 years on average. Coverage: 250 square feet per gallon on average. This product should be applied with a 9" roller equipped with a 3/8" nap. Pot Life: Indefinite as long as it is properly sealed. Allow to cure 4 - 6 hours in between coats. Cure 10 days minimum before filling. Made for Re-Coating Designed to be used as an upgrade for previously painted rubber-base finishes Self Priming two coats suggested for initial application Yielding a 3 year average life Applied with a paint roller Coverage : 250 square feet per gallon on average Steps to Paint Your Pool Determine Area Size Determining the square foot of the area you are going to paint is important. This will help you figure out how many gallons of paint are needed to complete the job. It’s important to take the surface porosity and smoothness into account. When looking at how much paint you should purchase. Start by measuring the length and width of the area. Once you have those measurements plug them into the formulas below. Divide that number by the coverage square foot of the paint you are wanting to use. That will give you the number of gallons that you should purchase. Remember to look and see if the paint requires single or multiple coats and if it needs a primer. Drain Water Now that you have selected the paint type and know the square footage of the interior, it’s time to drain the pool. Rent or purchase a submersible pump. As soon as the outside ambient air temperature drops below 85° F. Check the local code for where pool water can be drained and start pumping. If the outside ambient air temperature is above 85° F stop draining the pool. At these elevated temperatures, the interior surface can crack and lose its structural integrity. While the pool is draining, remember that you can start to prepare the pool for paint. Prepare for Paint Now that the pool has been drained, you can start to prep the interior for paint. Start by removing the perimeter return jets, pool/spa light, main drain covers, aerator fittings and any other item you don’t want painted. Using painters tape, carefully tape off all the tile line, step/bench tiles, return lines, and skimmer mouth. Once you have everything taped off it’s time to prime. Primer Coat Now that the pool has been drained and taped, it’s time to prime. Remember not all types of paint use a primer. So if you have paint that doesn’t use a primer, skip to the painting step. Roll the primer onto the interior surface of the pool using a 9” roller with a ½” nap, starting with the walls and ending with the floor. Once you’ve completed priming allow the prime to cure for 24 - 48 hours. Then it’s time to paint. Painting Interior The pool has now been drained, taped, and primed. It’s time for paint. The type of paint you choose will determine the number of coats. Start painting the walls first and finish with the floor. If the paint you are using requires a time period in between coats, make sure you take that time. It will allow the paint to cure and harden increasing its chemical resistance and life span. It is suggested for steps, shallow areas and wading pools, sprinkle sand on the coating before it dries to make the area slip-resistant. Fill and Balance Now that the pool is painted and the paint has cured, it’s time to fill the pool and balance the water. Depending on your area you may need to order a water truck to deliver. If you have a garden hose available, toss it in. The average pool should take anywhere from 36 - 48 hours to fill. Once the pool is full allow the fresh water to circulate for 3 - 4 hours. After the circulation period it’s time to complete the first water test of many on the new water. Make sure to test the water weekly to maintain proper water balance and overall pool health. Review: So far so good - I bought this paint because the promo stated that it is self priming. However, After calling In The Swim, I discovered it is only self priming when used with a certain thinner. Which desertcart does not carry. So I had to order that from In The Swim ($45). Also, the desertcart promo does not tell you that you must NOT paint this over Epoxy paint. But it does say this on the can. Also, the can does not say that it is self priming, so I am wondering if it will work at all?! I pre-prepped my surface (a galvanized horse traugh turned into an ornamental fountain), which had been previously painted with epoxy paint, by sanding and scraping all the old paint off down to the metal. As I am 70 I sure hope this paint works as I don't want to do it again!!! If it works Ill come back and upgrade my review to a 4 star. Still not happy with the misinformation in the desertcart bio on the product. P.S. If this product is not self priming please let me know ASAP. Thanks. So, now I've painted my galvanized horse trough (after sanding and scraping off all the old paint and galvinization) with this paint. I let it dry for a week in warm weather and have now filled the trough and added my fake fish, fake plants, rocks and driftwood. Its looking real good. The only peeling is in the top edge where I didn't get all the galvinization off. But everywhere else it looks great. I did not thin the paint at all. Review: If you have to, this is the product you want - If you don’t have a rubber painted pool, please reconsider. If you do, and it’s in need of repair, then this is the paint for you. Great adhesion, good durability, very very blue color. Sticks to your hands for days and ruins clothes, but that’s to be expected. I did have one area bubble up which needed a pressure wash and repaint, but that was my fault because I think I missed my TSP wash in that small section. Do your prep and this stuff is perfect. ## Features - Designed to be used as an upgrade for previously painted rubber-base finishes - Self Priming two coats suggested for initial application - Yielding a 3 year average life - Applied with a paint roller - Coverage : 250 square feet per gallon on average ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002WKO6G0 | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #731,554 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #657 in Pool & Deck Repair Products | | Brand | In The Swim | | Brand Name | In The Swim | | Color | Blue | | Color Code | #0099FF | | Container Type | Can | | Coverage | 250 square feet per gallon | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 out of 5 stars 98 Reviews | | Dry Time In Hours | 240 | | Finish Type | Gloss | | Full Cure Time | 10 Days | | Included Components | Paint Roller | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Outdoor | | Is Waterproof | True | | Item Form | Liquid | | Item Volume | 1 Gallons | | Model Number | A7310 | | Paint Type | Rubber | | Part Number | A7310 | | Size | 128 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) | | Special Feature | Durable | | Special Features | Durable | | Specific Uses For Product | Chlorinated rubber pool surface refinishing | | Surface Recommendation | Previously Painted Rubber-Base Finish | | UPC | 801838010540 | | Unit Count | 128 Fluid Ounces | | Water Resistance Level | Waterproof | ## Product Details - **Brand:** In The Swim - **Color:** Pool Blue - **Finish Type:** Gloss - **Size:** 128 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) - **Item Volume:** 1 Gallons - **Special Feature:** Durable - **Unit Count:** 128 Fluid Ounces - **Paint Type:** Rubber - **Specific Uses For Product:** Chlorinated rubber pool surface refinishing - **Surface Recommendation:** Previously Painted Rubber-Base Finish ## Images ![In The Swim Chlorinated Rubber-Base Pool Paint - Pool Blue 1 Gallon - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41Pk47f78RL.jpg) ![In The Swim Chlorinated Rubber-Base Pool Paint - Pool Blue 1 Gallon - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31vnaY1Z4SL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can l use this on aluminum pool ladder** A: I wouldn’t. **Q: How much paint is needed?** A: How much paint is needed for a 18 x 34 pool **Q: what kind of pool paint will work on apoxie pool paint?** A: Dyco is the best & your product was not good **Q: Can you be used in an inground Jacuzzi** A: I can see no reason why you can't, just be sure to read the written instructions. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So far so good *by D***I on April 7, 2022* I bought this paint because the promo stated that it is self priming.

If you do, and it’s in need of repair, then this is the paint for you. Great adhesion, good durability, very very blue color. Sticks to your hands for days and ruins clothes, but that’s to be expected.

Do your prep and this stuff is perfect. ### ⭐ Started chipping and rubbing off immediately... *by B***H on April 10, 2021* We used this for our small pool at home. We ended up buying 4 containers of it. We followed all the directions and started refilling our pool when it was time. Not 2 weeks later, the areas around our pool jets started to wear away and chip in some spots. It started to look just awful!! After that first summer, you could not even see the paint anymore. Some of the paint layer underneath even started to wear away. Such a huge disappointment. We ended up having to get our pool completely resurfaced...something we could have avoided if we didn’t buy this product in the first place. ## Frequently Bought Together - In The Swim Chlorinated Rubber-Base Pool Paint - Pool Blue 1 Gallon (Old Packaging) - INSL-X Waterborne, Semi-Gloss Acrylic Pool Paint, Royal Blue, 1 Gallon - In The Swim Pool Paint Preparation Surface Cleaner TriSodium Phosphate - 4 Pounds --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/14960848-in-the-swim-chlorinated-rubber-base-pool-paint-pool-blue](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/14960848-in-the-swim-chlorinated-rubber-base-pool-paint-pool-blue) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-06-08*
