Ginger Peach - Body Paint And Shower Show
Latrisha Adan
Note: I do not live in this condo anymore, so I have no idea how this tub has held up in the years since we sold the condo. We lived in the condo for eight more months after I painted the tub, and it looked just as good the day we left as it did the day I finished painting it. There were no chips, scratches, or peeling.
Addicted 2 Decorating is where I share my DIY and decorating journey as I remodel and decorate the 1948 fixer upper that my husband, Matt, and I bought in 2013. Matt has M.S. and is unable to do physical work, so I do the majority of the work on the house by myself. You can learn more about me here.
Just make sure the filter is an R type (and replace after every 8 hours of exposure to oil based fumes) or a P type (and replace after every 40 hours of exposure to oil based fumes). An N type filter will not do anything to remove oil fumes.
This is amazing!!! There is nothing you cannot DIY! You just saved yourself so much money hiring one of those bathtub resurfacing companies to do this. So glad you put the warning out there about the fumes. So many people do not protect their lungs with working with paint chemicals. Looks great!
I read the article and then I watched the video, and I have to say, I was excited to get started with this project until I got to the part regarding the fumes and the mask. I have tried painting with a mask before, and I have an aversion to chemical fumes, so that being said, I will not be trying this system for refinishing my bathtub/shower. Thanks anyway.
We had contractor put a shower head added to our tub. They have to be able to get to plumbing & go up the wall to fit the shower head. We also have a window that I had to craft a mini shower curtain to cover it while showering. They were able to cut the surround to fit around the window. Love it.
I was wondering how the tub is holding up now? Does the paint seem to be lasting? I bought the paint and am going to tackle it this weekend. It will be better than the yellow I have now and cheaper than buying a new surround tub.
Hi,
Question: how safe is it, in terms of chemical release from the paint afterwards, to bathe a child in this tub?
Just curious, i understand this is actually a paint, but still, how much danger does it pose?
Thank you
This is amazing! I found this on Pinterest as well, but I am texting this URL and sending to my son. We are trying to remodel my home and use it for rental property! I live with my husband in his home! Thank you , Thank You, THANK YOU!
After reading multiple blogs about how great this product was I painted our tub and tile surround. All was wonderful for a few months and then i noticed a slight crack and bubble. A week later there was a chip and then I had to peel it back, buy a repair kit and fix the spot. A few months later more cracks/bubbles/chips in other areas. I hope no one else experiences this, but having taken all the required precautions and even some additional ones, it has been very time consuming for no long-term fix. We are now looking to gut the old tub and tile :/
The thing I would be most worried about is it being slippery. One of my biggest fears is slipping in the tub. Is there a way to add MORE traction/texture to make the floor part less slippery?
Something where I could avoid having to use the stupid rubber bath mats in there?
Also, can you do other colors, like black?
We have been contemplating doing this to our tub and surround. We have a window so hopefully the fume situation will be okay. What I really want to know is how is it holding up now? Does it still look as wonderful as it did when you first painted it? How is cleaning it now?
I found your post(s) on Facebook today and am very impressed with your talent. Is painting the tub and surround holding up well after the past two+ years? I want to update my home to sell if possible or if not, enjoy it more myself. Please let know before I invest time and resources. Thank you!
Hi, thanks for the post. Its really informative.
One question. I have very similar situation as yours but I am not sure if my surrounding is plastic or fiberglass. Will it stick to surrounding if its plastic?
And I also have another stall shower. Would you recommend same product for that too?
Thanks Kristy for the wonderful article. I was just wondering if you knew approximately when was this bathtub installed in the first place and how many years it lasted before repainting it?
Thanks!

All of us know how important it is to put good things in our bodies to help us stay strong.
That desire was the inspiration for the Bigelow Benefits line, everyday teas that fuel your body with good for you ingredients.
Carved into a cliffside with the surf crashing below and dreamily lit by candles and lanterns, the experience truly feels like an evening out on the Mexican Riviera, complete with live music, fresh-caught fish prepared to order and a lively crowd celebrating everything from birthdays to anniversaries and even proposals.
It wasn't until this past April, however, that I had the chance to actually stay at the Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal. That's not to say I haven't been a guest at this particular property before, though.
You see, the hotel used to be part of the small, Asia-based luxury hotel group Capella, and I spent three nights there back in 2013. It was rebranded as a Waldorf Astoria in 2019, just before the pandemic.
The dates of my stay fell after spring break and Easter but before the summer holidays. Even during this momentary travel lull, however, I could only find award nights at the 115-key property for 120,000 Hiton Honors points apiece (the base rate) on a handful of days in April.
The reason base-level points rates might not be easily available is that the hotel has several different non-standard room types, as well as a large proportion of suites and multi-bedroom villas and casitas for which it charges some exorbitant prices (ranges during April and May ran from 364,000 to 1.9 million points per night).
Had I booked a paid rate instead, I might have done so through American Express Fine Hotels + Resorts with The Platinum Card from American Express since I still would have earned Hilton Honors points and credit toward elite status on the stay, plus extras like noon check-in based on availability, guaranteed 4 p.m. late checkout, a room upgrade at check-in if available, daily breakfast for two and a $150 property credit to be used during my stay.
Los Cabos is a sprawling resort area that spans the entire southern tip of the Baja California peninsula, running from the Pacific along its western coast all the way to the Sea of Cortez on the eastern side.
Many of its hotels cluster around the cities of Cabo San Lucas, which is more of a party zone, and from whose marina many water-based activities like fishing and whale-watching depart, and San Jos del Cabo, which has a beautiful main square and colorful colonial-era buildings that now house art galleries, boutiques and restaurants.
The Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal is in a 24-acre residential and resort development quite close to Cabo San Lucas, and you must drive past the town's bars and nightclubs to get there. However, to reach Pedregal, you then pass through a guarded tunnel and come out the other side on a stretch of coast facing due south and just to the west of the famous Los Arcos rock formation at the cape of Cabo San Lucas itself.
When we pulled into the hotel's driveway about 30 seconds later, I was greeted by name by one of the check-in agents and a bellman who took my carry-on bag from the trunk while another handed me a chilled glass of sweet hibiscus juice and asked me to take a seat on a terrace overlooking the resort.
The check-in agent took my passport and a credit card to the nearby office where she put a $500 hold on my account for incidentals and made a copy of my passport information page. She returned to let me know my room was not ready yet, but that the resort's concierge service would text me when it was. I asked if I'd been upgraded due to my Hilton Honors Gold status, and she said that I had not been, unfortunately. She then invited me to have lunch at one of the restaurants.
I headed down to the poolside bar, Crudo Bar, where I spent a couple hours working on my laptop (Wi-Fi was free and worked well throughout the resort) until I got a text at around 3 p.m. asking for my location so that someone could find me and bring me to my room.
Funnily enough, the room I was given was in the same building, appropriately dubbed Vistamar for its sea views, that I had stayed in on my previous visit. It is located at the far eastern side of the property. The walk there is a bit longer to other parts of the resort, but that makes it feel more secluded and also gives you a chance to admire the desert landscaping, including some truly gorgeous succulents planted here and there.
There was a small vestibule just inside the door and then a quasi-foyer with a pink, marble-topped table, two wall sconces and a mirror. There, I found a welcome amenity that included a bowl of apples and a hand-painted Clase Azul Reposado tequila decanter that I could take home with me (though its liquid volume was too big to go through security, so you'll either need to drink it or take it in a checked bag).
Hotel staff members would also drop by each day between 4 and 5 p.m. with a complimentary tray of chips, guacamole, pico de gallo and a bucket with two small Coronas, which I thought was a nice touch.
Continuing into the main room itself, I was struck by its size, which the hotel lists as 865 square feet, thanks to the large bedroom and living area as well as an expansive terrace with its own plunge pool, all with shiny limestone floors.
Part of what I love about this hotel is that the dcor was custom-made by local artisans and includes hand-carved mesquite furniture (not to mention those beautiful beamed ceilings), bed headboards of embossed leather with sculpted metal frames and colorful totem-like sculptures.
