Olympic Pool Paint Zeron Blue Ice 1 Gallon - Durable One-Coat Epoxy

In this review of Olympic Pool Paint Zeron Blue Ice, the bottom line is clear: this two-part, high-solid epoxy is best for owners and pros who need a durable one-coat finish for plaster, fiberglass, steel or aluminum pools. The reviewer found the system straightforward when mixed correctly, and the major reason to buy is longevity - when used over primer it can deliver years of low-maintenance service while resisting wear that commonly affects other pool coatings.

Key Features

• Two-part system: The kit includes a 1 gallon base and a 1 quart catalyst so the finished volume totals 1 gallon after mixing, allowing controlled curing and durability.
• One-coat coverage: Designed as a high-solid epoxy that can cover most surfaces in a single coat, saving time compared with multi-coat systems.
• Versatile substrate adhesion: Recommended for plaster, fiberglass, steel and aluminum pools, making it suitable for many repair and refinish projects.
• Application methods: Can be applied by airless spray or roller, giving flexibility depending on equipment and project size.
• Coverage estimate: Yields approximately 125 to 150 sq ft per gallon, which helps plan material needs for small to medium pools or spot repairs.
• Color and finish: The Blue Ice color reproduces well in person but digital screens may not show exact hue, so expect slight variation.

Who It's For

Olympic Zeron is aimed at pool service professionals and experienced do-it-yourselfers who are comfortable mixing and applying two-part epoxies and who want a long-lasting finish for a variety of pool materials. Its one-coat performance and ability to be roller- or spray-applied make it a practical choice for contractors tackling entire pool refinishes or for homeowners restoring smaller pools, steps, or shallow areas.

Less experienced DIYers who are unfamiliar with timing-sensitive two-part products or those who prefer single-component, ready-to-use pool paints may want to consider simpler alternatives. Also, very large commercial pools may require larger packaging or multiple kits planned in advance because each mixed kit yields a finished gallon.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High durability when applied over a primer, offering up to years of low-maintenance service.
• Good coverage for a single-gallon kit, with roughly 125-150 sq ft per gallon under typical conditions.
• Versatile adhesion to plaster, fiberglass, steel and aluminum, reducing the need for specialty coatings.
• Positive customer feedback on paint quality, color and functionality, including reports of quick curing in 24 hours.

Cons

• Requires thorough mixing and timely use of the catalyst; improper handling can lead to premature hardening and wasted material.
• Finished volume is only 1 gallon after mixing, so multiple kits are needed for larger projects and planning coverage is important.
