It is a process to refinish a bathtub.
1st: you prep it, prep varies depending on the type of surface the bathtub is made of.
2nd: you dry, then repair all of the dings,dents,imperfections,and holes or scratches.
3rd: you mask around the bathtub, and cover any fixture which overspray may settle on.
4th: You spray paint it, just as if it were a car. (there are various types of paint for this)
5th: Take the masking off, and you're basically done.
