Kit Size and Mixing Ratio
BG Pool High Solid Epoxy Pool Paint is supplied as a 3.5 litre kit.
The coating is a polyamide-cured epoxy with a mixing ratio of 3:1 by volume.
At 25°C, the mixed coating has an approximate pot life of 90 minutes.
How Much Pool Paint Will I Need?
Under normal circumstances, BG Pool Epoxy Top Coat has an approximate spreading rate of
22–24m² per 3.5 litre kit per coat.
Actual coverage can vary depending on the surface condition, texture, profile and application method.
Rather than estimating from the litres of water your pool holds, calculate the actual surface area that needs to be painted.

BG Pool Paint Calculator
to estimate the quantity of pool paint required.
Suitable Pool Surfaces
BG Pool Epoxy Paint can be applied to appropriately prepared old and new pool surfaces including:
- Concrete swimming pools
- Fibreglass swimming pools
- Marble sheen pool surfaces
- Ponds and other suitable aquatic facilities
Correct surface preparation is essential before applying any pool coating system. Existing coatings and the condition of the pool surface should be identified before painting begins.
Applying BG Pool Epoxy Paint
For brush or roller application, BG recommends a mohair roller with an approximately 11mm nap.
BG Pool Epoxy may also be applied using airless spray equipment. The technical specification recommends a
15–21 thou tip range with a minimum tip pressure of approximately 150 bar / 2200 psi.
BG Epoxy Thinner may be used at approximately 0–10% depending on the application method and conditions.

- Full cure: approximately 7 days
Drying and curing times are temperature dependent and may change according to environmental conditions.
Application Conditions
Recommended application conditions are:
- Surface temperature: minimum 10°C to maximum 40°C
- Dew point: surface temperature should be at least 3°C above dew point
- Ambient temperature: minimum 10°C to maximum 40°C
- Relative humidity: maximum 85%
