I have painted our inground plaster pool twice now, using InslX waterborne acrylic pool paint, it goes on well, does bubble or flake etc, but it does fade after 2-3 years, and, is from what I've read is to be expected.
This year, I had to drain and do a quick plaster repair, I didn't want to purchase a entire can of pool paint just for a couple of small patches, so for one patch I used acrylic based exterior house paint, and for the other a enamel spray can. It's now the end of the season and both paints have held up extremely well.
So, if acrylic pool paint only holds up for 2 years, and exterior acrylic house paint seems to doing just as well at the moment, why not just buy the much cheaper exterior house paint?
