paint shower pan

Want to repaint my shower pan in 1996 motorhome. Not sure if pan is plastic, fibreglass or some other material. My question is will epoxy paint work on all of the above materials or is another product recommended?
  • Those using spray paint, how has it held up, and what happens when the shower gets dirty and you scrub or use cleaning chemicals on the surface? Does it start to flake off, scratch or look ugly? I know paint will scratch easy so that makes lots of little crevices for germs to hide in.
    I, personally, would never

  • Look into cheap generic truck bed bed liner coatings. I painted a shower pan in a nice neutral gray and it turned out fantastic, was durable (as I store stuff in shower when driving) and was easy to clean.
    I used masking tape as needed to keep it neat.

  • Many use the rustoleum appliance spray paint. Excellent adhesion, excellent wear, excellent wet area properties, excellent flexibility, excellent coverage of repaired chips and cracks plus very reasonable cost. Downside, heavy fumes and needs to be done in a well protected (mist/over-spray sticks to everything) and ventilated (heavy fumes during spraying) areas until it's cured.
  • IIRC I used Krylon to paint some old plastic porch chairs. worked great.
