How can I paint the bathtub myself?
Can I use regular spray paint to paint my tub? I already had it painted by a professional with porcelain paint, but too many nicks have appeared over time. I want a paint that is hard as nails. Is this even possible?

Hi there! I don't think spray paint would be as durable as you are hoping for. I would look into a bathtub refinishing kit. They use epoxy paint.
No, regular spray paint will not adhere to the finish with any longevity.
Spray paint would be a disaster. You can have a tub glazed as it sounds like you did. It's not a permanent solution. You are going to be caught in a cycle of painting it until you replace it.
