How to Apply Luxapool® Epoxy Pool Paint Like a Pro

Why Use Luxapool® Epoxy?

When it comes to durability, gloss, and long-lasting protection, Luxapool® epoxy pool paint is the gold standard. It creates a hard, chemical-resistant finish that resists algae, staining, and UV damage — making it the top choice for most Australian pool owners.

Step 0: Calculate How Much Paint You Need

Before picking up a brush or roller, make sure you’ve got the right amount of paint for your pool. Running short mid-project can leave you with uneven coverage, while overbuying can waste money.

👉 Use our free Pool Paint Calculator to work out exactly how much Luxapool® epoxy you’ll need based on your pool’s dimensions.

Step 1: Prepare Your Pool Surface

Proper prep is the secret to a flawless finish. This means draining your pool, cleaning thoroughly, and repairing any cracks or rough patches. Epoxy will only perform well on a properly prepped surface.

Step 2: Prime (If Needed)

Depending on your pool’s surface type, you may need a primer or sealer before applying epoxy. This ensures proper adhesion and extends the life of your coating. Check the product instructions for whether a primer is required for your pool type.

Step 3: Mix Your Epoxy Paint

Luxapool® epoxy is a two-pack system (resin + hardener). Carefully mix the two components as directed.

• Use a clean mixing container.
• Combine thoroughly with a drill mixer until smooth.
• Allow to stand for the recommended induction time.
  

⚠️ Pro Tip: Only mix what you can use within the pot life (usually a one hour).

Step 4: Apply the First Coat

Using high-quality rollers and brushes, apply the first coat evenly across the surface. Start at the deep end and work your way to the shallow end.

• Roll in one direction for a consistent finish.
• Watch out for drips, especially on vertical surfaces.
• Allow the first coat to cure completely before the next.

Step 5: Apply the Second Coat

Once the first coat has cured, apply the second coat in the opposite direction for full coverage. This ensures a smooth, even finish with maximum protection.

Step 6: Curing Time

Epoxy requires time to fully cure before refilling your pool. Typically, this is around 7 days — but always check the product datasheet for your local conditions.
