DWIL Tub Paint, Tub and Tile Refinishing Kit with Tools, White Bathtub Paint Water Based &Low Odor, Easy to Use for Sink Bathroom Shower, Semi-Gloss Black, 25-30sq.ft

Packaging: came with a roller, brush, plastic gloves (which were very helpful), tape, tape with plastic attached (very useful), paint, and two hardening solution packs. I still needed to get extra rollers, a few paint trays, painters tape, paint stirers, liquid sander and scrubbing pad. Application: Went on easily. My first coat was a thin layer. I used the brush on the grout lines and then applied the roller. The difference was very visible. I think sticking with the roller for the first two coats would have worked better for a more even application (I also think a sprayer would have done the job perfectly) . Not sure if it was the grout or the curve of the tub that caused the roller to split, but you will need a few extra rollers just in case. Drying: I was working in a relative warm bathroom (my upper level is difficult to cool) so that may have impacted things. But boy, this product wants to dry! I sometimes accidentally touched a spot I had previously completed and the coating was dry enough that i didn't disrupt anything. It's best to work thoroughly in small methodical sections. I also ran into an issue with the paint in the tray forming skin layers. I wasn't aware of the formation until I applied more paint to the roller and then to the tub. It may be helpful to keep the tray covered with plastic to hopefully avoid this. Because of this, I used a new paint tray every time I finished a layer. It's difficult to clean them out completely and I didn't want old paint flecks/ skin causing issues with the next layer. Unfortunately there are still flecks that I couldn't get out. I don't feel terribly picky about it. Manage any drips immediately though. Coating: for my shower/tub project, one container made 2 full coatings. I ordered two containers because I wasn't sure what to expect. Glad I did. I actually liked the two coatings and hubs thought it was good enough. But I did see a bit of unevenness in my application in places. I used the second container to liberally apply a thicker third coat. That was exactly what it needed. A few paint brush touch ups at that point blended nicely and the product self- leveled. I absolutely love the result. We were going to go through an expensive rehab in the bathroom. This product changed our minds. The tub looks brand new and we saved ourselves several thousand dollars. I will say that our tub is porcelain with ceramic tile. The matte finish combined with the roller texture makes it look like a pvc cover up installation lol. Still looks amazing though. Tons better than the grimy mess it once was.

I had been putting up with the hideous “greige” tiles, sink, and fiberglass shower enclosure ever since we bought our house. After loads of research, I decided to try DWIL tub and tile paint. I don’t have a fan in my bathroom, and everything I read about all the alternatives out there (including the one that gets the most hype: rustolem’s tub refinishing paint) were epoxy based, and you had to have major respirator masks to use safely. When I found DWIL, I thought it might be too good to be true, so I decided to try it on the sink first and see how it went, and then decide if I’d do the tile, the floor, and the shower enclosure. Well, not only did it work, but it was almost easy. I mean, sure, I had to take time to tape everything off, and clean things well, but … that stuff is amazing. It took more coats than I expected to not see a little of the greige showing through, but the paint dried so quickly, I was able to go over areas with show-through within an hour of doing a coat. And if I dribbled paint on the floor (which I did a couple times), a wet rag would bring that up easily if it was still wet, or it would scrape off with a scrape razor. No problem.) The sink came out so well, I did the walls and floor and the shower enclosure. My entire bathroom looks completely different. I wound up redoing the ancient 80s wall tiles in the other full and half bath in the house. The shower enclosure took a lot longer, and a lot more coats were needed (I think I did 5), but again, it’s fast applying and drying, so it wasn’t that bad. I recommend buying better rollers - the ones that come in the kit aren’t great, but the paint brush that comes with it is fine. The hardening liquid that comes in the kit isn’t in a great container; I immediately transferred it to a small glass jar and would put the paint into a plastic paint jug so I could do smaller sections instead of prepping the whole can at once. (It’s possible to use the paint you’ve pre-prepped hours after without it hardening: just cover it tightly - the paint brush and roller too - with plastic wrap.) After the DWIL had fully cured, I painted the shower and sink with two coats of polycrylic to give it a bit more shine, but it’s not necessary. The walls and floor didn’t get the polycrylic addition, and they look fabulous too. We’re not planning to sell our house any time soon, but I know the investment of time and energy I made in refreshing our bathrooms with the help of DWIL paint will pay off big-time. They look modern and clean, instead of dull, old, and greige. A (relatively) easy and definitely affordable DIY project that anyone can do.

After quite a few attempts, and failures, to get my tub refinished, this one finally achieved an acceptable finish. I had to apply it with a selected paint brush, which would not leave any streaks, and at some points I also had to thin it a little bit. The best results are achieved by applying thin layers and being very patient. After preparation, it's best to set one's mind that it will be at least 7-8 days before the tub can be used again; and preparation is key! DO NOT ever try to apply this or most of the other tub finishings using a sprayer, they leave a mess and it's completely difficult to manage, in particular in any not so well ventilated areas; I learned this the hard-way. What I liked about this one was that it was relatively easy to apply, it dried rather quickly, and it produces a very light smell. Now, I need to use in about a week to give it the test of time and see if it's really worth it. I would say if it endures three or more years of routine use, it's then a very good product.

I used a paint sprayer for a more even texture, then did a wet sand 1500 grit after the 7 day curing process to polish it up a bit and it’s holding great. Will update my review later if I run in to any problems. I did 3 coats with 2 hours inbetween. It looks great but keep in mind it will not have the same glassy feel like a brand new tub, but it’s certainly a nice face lift from what it was before. Make sure to wait the full 7 days before sanding, and DWIL doesn’t necessarily endorse sanding, I just asked a friend who understands these kinds of paint products.

Very pleased with how this turned out!! The product was extremely easy to use. My bathroom looks beautiful! The prep is a bit of a nightmare. The tiles I have are glazed ceramic so trying to get them sanded was a challenge in itself. Regular sandpaper in an orbital sander didn't work. Silicon carbide sandpaper didn't work. Diamond grit sandpaper did work but trying to find that for an orbital sander in store when you've already removed the caulk, repaired the grout and can't use the only shower in your house is a fun situation to be in! All in all, I'm very happy! Can't speak to the durability just yet but aesthetically, I love the results!

THIS has proved to be a great option for painting the tiles in my spare bath shower.. I used the white to cover a very dark grey tile. There are only two walls tiled in the shower, one about 5 ' x 8' and the other about 4.5 ' x 8' high. One container ALMOST did a full two coats. I had to order another to finish the job...it's easy to apply, the instructions are not complicated and virtually no smell. Much better to paint that pull off old tiles an replace with new ones.

I spent a day refinishing my tub with the non-slip dark grey colour. I am a DIYer and have no experience with anything like this. The kit comes with everything you need. It's labor intensive, but it is well worth it. Give it a FULL week to set so go on vacation Or bath in the sink. Would purchase again. My tub was originally a gross cream color and it covered very well... with extra to spare.

So, I bought this product because I couldn’t find any other better options. So far I am happy with the result but I need to admit that for my personal perfectionist level 2 coats were not enough for full coverage. At the end I needed 2 cans of this paint (have no idea how 1 can be enough for two bathrooms as someone stated in previous comments) just for my one shower cabin which made me use 5 coats in total. I suspect that if I used primer before, I wouldn’t need so many coats. Supporting tools are great and were used, except paint brush (useless). To make a different colour (mint) I added some blue and green acrylic paint. Have to mention that in real life it looks much brighter and definitely more beautiful. Hope my honest review will be helpful for you.
