    Brush on Rustoleum for Plastic ought to work. Make sure the surround is spotless and be prepared to recaulk. Best wishes 😇

    Kilz makes a line of primers. Follow their instructions and then you can paint over it.

    My family owns a franchise that covers old tubs with acrylic liners. I've seen countless painted rub surrounds that end up peeling. And then they call my family's company to replace it after a while. Truthfully.....Very tough for paint to adhere to a tub surround for any length of time because if the cleaning solvents, humidity. If it's acrylic and you're desperate, use acrylic paint. First I'd use gripper primer by glidden, home depot. That stuff sticks to everything. Or you could just go fire a plastic adhering spray paint since acrylic is a plastic. If it's fiberglass, I'd email a boat building company what paint they use. Good luck.

    I OWN APARTMENTS and the tubs look terrible after years of tenants, instead of replacing I found using outdoor paint works on the tub-surround, I've painted them around 5 years ago and they still look nice
