Absolutely! Lowe's sells a great primer in their paint department. The most important step is the surface prep. Clean your shower surround with the recommended cleaner (I believe it was called TLX, also at Lowes). You then use a two part epoxy paint that is made just for this job. Good luck and enjoy your upgraded shower!

I am actually going through this myself. At Home Depot I found a product called "Magic ReNew Tub and Tile Refinishing Kit". I found it on an endcap near the paint department...maybe $28. Anyhow, it comes with a "cold" can and a "hot" can. They are spraypaint can-like. You put one in the fridge to get it cold and then put the other in hot water to get it hot. Then you turn one into the other to mix the products. Once the one now-full can gets to room temperature you are good to go. If you can spraypaint, you can do this. Make sure you cover EVERYTHING else in the bathroom (I forgot to cover the floor). In the event that you get it on the floor or other item, a fine grade steel wool rubbed lightly on it will loosen it so you can sweep it up and clean it up with a mop or a rag.

Does anyone know if or how you can paint a fiberglass shower surround? Any help will be appreciated.

You can't SKIN fiberglass. I had one of those one day fitter places and they told me fiberglass can't really be painted. It can be GLAZED, just to make it look really SHINY. I love the idea of fiberglass boat paint, that might WORK. (06/30/2008)

I have never painted a fiberglass surround, but aren't they kind of like a plastic? There is a spray paint found in hardware stores that I have used on plastic lawn chairs. I painted mine 2 years ago and they did not peel at all. They are outside in the sunshine and the rain. I would make sure the surround is very clean and dry before painting and don't forget to wear a mask. (07/02/2008)
