We loved this black bathroom and especially the idea that you could paint the tub with sophisticated results. See how to do it yourself after the cut:
How To: Paint the Tub
Here are the directions from Country Living:
Prime: Thoroughly clean the tub's exterior, then apply a quality latex primer with a foam roller and let dry to create a smooth surface.
Apply: Paint at least two coats of exterior-grade latex paint in a satin or semigloss finish onto the exterior using a foam roller.
Set: Some paints may take 90 days to completely set. To prevent marring the surface, avoid scrubbing or scratching the exterior.

I love that yellow chair in the photo. Does anyone have any info on it?

I recently painted the outside of my clawfoot tub black. First sanded it with 60 grit, then 220 grit sandpaper, then primed and painted it with Rustoleum spray paint. Very easy and cost effective. Came out amazing.

The paint on my clawfoot tub is starting to crack. It gives it a nice antique look, but that's not really the look I want, and it's also starting to rust on the feet. Looks like there are already a lot of layers of paint on it. Am I right to assume that just painting over it again won't work very well? I don't have time for a full refinishing job, and I'm not even sure I could do it by hand (instead of sandblasting or something).
