Is it okay to paint a bathroom tub!?!?!?!?

Are there any paints for that??Is it okay to paint a bathroom tub!?!?!?!?
There are special enamels that are used to paint tubs and sinks when they become scratched or chipped. You would want to be really careful what you used because some paints might contain harmful chemicals which are safe when used on dry walls but might contaminate the bath water.





It is also important to know whether your tub is fiberglass-plastic or porcelain.





Any good hardware or paint store should have the correct product for your needs.Is it okay to paint a bathroom tub!?!?!?!?
Most bathroom tubs are enameled. The only real way to refinish a tub is to have it sandblasted and reglazed. I don't think paint will stick very well, since enamel is basically baked-on glass.
NO paint





Tubs can be refinished, usually by a pro. It is better to let someone who knows what they are doing refinish this.

There are paints for it but you have to be extremely good at painting to do it AND the trouble with a painted bath, you have to keep it dry! When you use it you MUST dry it right away EVERY time or it will bubble and spoil.
use an epoxy type paint but clean tub first and sand lightly
