Who It's For

Olympic Pool Paint Zeron is aimed at pool service professionals and experienced do-it-yourselfers who are comfortable mixing a two-part epoxy, following pot life limitations, and preparing surfaces by priming or blasting.

Those who should look elsewhere include first-time DIYers unwilling to follow precise mixing and timing, or anyone needing exact color matching for small touch-ups, since digital screens may not show the true Sunshine Yellow and results cannot be guaranteed.
