- wire brush
- multi-surface primer
- paint roller
- paintbrush

Step 1
Clean the inside of the tub with an all-purpose cleaner. Scrape any old paint or dirt off the outside with a wire brush.
Step 2
Prime the tub using a roller and a multi-surface primer. Use a brush to prime the area of the tub around the feet. Let dry.
Step 3
Paint the entire tub exterior one color with a roller. Paint the feet with a brush. Let dry. Using delicate-surface painter’s tape, mark a line that sections off about one third of the tub, and paint everything to the left of it another color. Let dry, then remove the tape.
