The exterior of the house was pink, as were many rooms, and even the floors! And now the tub. Prep your tub by giving it a good cleaning.
Mine was covered in cobwebs in the back and dirty streaks in the front- gross! After I gave it a scrubbing, I put down drop cloths and taped off the tub legs. I jumped right in and gave the exterior of the tub its first coat of pink paint. I got great coverage! Right away, I knew it was the right color choice! This project was SO quick! It was less than 15 minutes for each coat! It just needed two coats. The legs on the tub are amazing! I wanted them full on gold, so I used gilding wax in warm gold.
The second I put it on, it felt more alive and golden. If you have trouble, you could try a little paint stripper to get it clean and ready. Then use a bonding primer that is made for metal. And the shower is used heavily since that bathroom is shared by at least four people each time we visit. So the tub has definitely been put to the test while we are at the ranch. I wanted to wait a full year before I shared the tutorial to be sure my experiment worked.
So far so good! I love to use simple, classic materials in order to let the tub shine. You can see more about our attic bathroom here , or shop the sources from the space below. Another helpful tip for styling a clawfoot tub is to include a step stool or wall shelf. I hope you found this tutorial on how to paint a clawfoot tub helpful!
Be sure to pin it for later and tell me… have you had similar creative journeys when trying to achieve a particular vision and stay within budget?? You make it seem easy! Great job. I would have never thought to use exterior paint. Love the black! Thank you so much, Cindy!! Personally, I am not a fan of clawfoot tubs but you did a beautiful job of painting yours. It looks great!
