Diamond Brite Dark Pool Color Help
Comments (29)I am wondering how the steel blue stands up to time (fade, etc.). Does anyone here have any pictures of the steel blue and if so, what are your thoughts on going with this color? I am days away from having to choose a color for my own pool. Thanks!...See MoreResurface w/DiamondBrite vs PebbleFina vs Colorquartz?

Comments (3)I stepped in a pool with big pebble coating and did not like it at all. We got diamond brite and it has a slightly sandy feel but doesn't hurt my feet. Very happy w/ selection. agree w/ you that one color can look very different in diff pools depending on location, time of day, etc. I wouldn't consider a dark color b/c I wanted to see clearly all the way to the bottom, in case any stray snakes came to visit. Dark coatings will keep water warmer, so if that is your primary consideration vs. visibility, go for it. DB is like pebble sheen, maybe a bit smoother. Cost for our 20,000 gal pool was about $10K for coating. It was bundled with other work, so don't know for sure, but we think that was about it. I live in Houston metro area. I think plaster applicators have to be certified by plaster mfr, so you may want to verify that whoever you select is certified. Would be really sad to spend that kind of $ and be stuck w/ shoddy workmanship....See Moreparadigmdawg
