Is rubber swimming pool paint better then the epoxy refinish?

It is all in the preparation. Why do you want to paint a pool?????

Reply to above: WHY PAINT A POOL? Because it's cheaper than re-plastering or otherwise re-surfacing your pool. Because it protects the concrete and/or plaster or fiberglass surface under the paint--if it is a quality paint. Because it revives the original beauty of your pool. Because it helps the surface resist algae and chemical attack on your pool surface-- especially so for a high-gloss premium pool paint. Because painting your pool allows you to modernize it, change color, add personal emblems or decals on the bottom. Lots of reasons to paint your pool.

For best results, do NOT put different types over each other! If your paint type is failing, sandblast and start over with a good quality pool paint.
