    It is not an easy procedur to paint bathroom, and it is reallyimportant what is the base meterial od your walls, ceramics or just a type of a marble or simple plaster or a thick roughcast, first of all you have to be sure about this...

    I don't think it is a good idea to paint the inside of the shower. I don't think any paint will stand up to repeated soakings with water. I would recommend putting up a prefab acrylic shower insert or cement board and tile.

    If you are taking about the shower stall itself, and it's made of fiberglass, it's best to contact a company that refinishes showers, tubs, and sinks. (Same goes for tile.) They stuff they use has to set for quite a while (usually a few days) before you can actually use the shower again. It's not a simple do it yourself job in my opinion, and easier left to a professional who will guarantee the work. If you are just talking about the prefab walls in a modular/mobile home that look almost like wallpaper on them and the boards are put together with tack strips between them, you can paint them with a semi gloss latex paint, just like you would use in any bathroom.
