[VAC] Re: needs help/head fixtures

We finally got the shower off using the advised technique...and had to take
down the wall to get it out ...now we have removed all the plastic and
fiberglass parts from the bath and I scrubbed them throughly in 104º
heat...a day I will remember.

I wanted to paint them with epoxy paint [boat deck paint]and I think that
will work on the fiberglass shower but I'm not sure about that plastic
stuff. It must be pretty good plastic to hold up this long but I really want
to paint all this stuff. ...the color is awful. What kind of paint is best?

I planned to sand it well, patch the broken places with epoxy and vinyl
backing. I have experience fixing dings in the sailboat we had for 17 years
so I'm familiar with that. I sure fgeel like I want to stiffen this stuff up
with some great stuff or something.

Just for discoloration problems tho...I was able to get some spots out with
grout cleaner ...but that's really strong stuff with hcl acid and you have
to neutralize it real fast or it will soften the plastic. It sure got some
spots clean!!! If I weren't going to paint it I would touch it up with that
more.

Does anyone have any advice on how to paint this plastic stuff?  I know I
can't replace it so I don't want to ganble too much. We have about 3/4th of
this thing ripped out now and the fun part is getting closer.....but now we
have to take a break and have frame and brakes done.

Lexxey...I may just leave "needs help" on all my posts!!!!  hummmm...maybe a
teeshirt!!!
