I used to take a solid color baby blanket and place it on the floor in a bright, sun filled room. When I was ready to take a picture I would put Layla on the blanket, and adjust it around her, making sure not to put her directly in the sunlight.

Once the primer has dried, you will apply the base coat. The first layer of base coat must be coated evenly and thoroughly all the way over the entire surface of the bathtub. Let this base coat dry thoroughly. Once the base coat is dry, you will be able to safely apply the topcoat. This topcoat is the finish for your bathtub fixer and it will display what your tub will look like when you are finished. The choice of color for the bathtub is yours, just make sure to evenly apply the topcoat to make certain that the tub is given a great finish.
Often, reglazing tub and shower pans are crazy colors like pink or avocado - or perhaps they are white or off white but have chips in the enamel. There are kits at the big box home improvement stores for re-enameling a tub or shower pan, or sink to be white or off white. It's a messy job, with fumes involved, but the kits are cheap, running around $40 or less. Make sure to also do an online search for companies in your area that can do the re-enamel for you. We often hire these companies for our listings. However, bear in mind that sometimes buying a new sink is less expensive than hiring a re-enamel company; whereas, typically putting new enamel onto a tub is less costly than replacing it.
