Ok, first and foremost my husband and I made sure to do our homework on this product. We had a red jacuzzi tub that was in excellent condition and we didn't want to spend $1,000 right now on a new one. But, red is not our favorite color. We spent a few months doing research on this product using videos, online forums, and reviews. They all basically said the same thing. Prep, prep, and prep again. Luckily my husband is anal retentive on all projects so that part took work but he did a great job.See full review
