Re coating Acrylic bath

[Gobo]

Has anyone tried this with any success?

And what product/kits are out there and the best to use?

Any help would be great.

Totally not possible and not worth the bother

Replace it don't bodge it.

Don't want to replace it as it's the only suitable bath I've found, and it only cost £2.

The problem is its formed from black acrylic and has been coated white inside, there are some cracks in this white coat.

Think I could live with the cracks rather than the new version of the bath being £750. Thus didn't mind spending some pennies getting it sorted.

You just confirmed why it's a bad idea, acrylic will flex and the paint will crack.

The white coat is also acrylic not paint.

You can get liners? See alot of American companies advertising it.

nothing is impossible. only used it on steel baths and it worked very well. But they do one for acrylic

Have a word with your local 'auto body repair shop' (as the yanks would say) - they spray plastic mouldings on cars that flex and don't crack.
