Sheryl Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 In the course of changing bathtub water fixtures I badly chipped the white porcelin of the bathtub (old fixture dropped as I was removing it) I used to have a "porcelin repair" product which I brought from the US but no more and can't seem to find it here. Neither can I find epoxy paint, which is what is used in US to refinish bathtubs. I did see some white epoxy cement, though. Before I go and make a mess, any ideas as to whether that is likely to work well and give good appearance? Or suggestions of other products?

lopburi3 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Just a guess but suspect it could never be polished to a glossy finish. Wonder if auto paint would work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangkokumpalumpa Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 color matching will be the problem! if you have the chip you could get something color matched. what about getting a small can of enamel paint? that way you can color match it and use wet and dry to feather it in, then polish it to match the rest. two pack paint would work if you wanted to do the whole bath, that stuff is strong!!!!! car paint scratches easy, this then allows water under it so not the best way to go, but two pack is amazing!!!! I have used it on cars and boats once you have that on it is just about the same as the enamel on the bath, I also had some bath paint in NZ and I think that was basicly white 2 pack. where to get 2 pack paint?? through a automotive paint supply shop, dont let them farang you and give you standard car paint, this stuff comes with the paint and a hardener.

Sheryl Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 OK, sounds like "2 pack paint" is similiar to the epoxy paint I once used in USt to refinish a bathtub Next question...can anyone give location of an automtive paint supply shop in greater Bkk area?
