I tried to save an antique lavatory that was in bad shape.
I Bondoed the chips, sanded it down.
Went to Lowes and they were actually able to color match epoxy paint.
I think it would have turned out good IF I had sprayed it.
Didn't want to sacrifice my spray gun (pre Harbor Freight), so I tried to brush it. Bad mistake. Brushing epoxy is like painting with syrup!
But ugly as it was, it did hold up for a number of years until I moved away.
Side note: Many years ago my mom had her built in black (yes, black!) tub painted white by a pro. That was way back when tub refinishing was just beginning. It held up, completely covered the black, looked really nice.
If I were going to do it, and had the money, I would go with the pro.
Side note 2: Are you entirely sure you want a free standing tub? The problems are finding a way to artfully hide the plumbing, or having to use chrome, which will be expensive.
And, they are dust bunny breeders! No way to easily get behind and under to keep it clean, paint, or do any maintenance without having to remove it.
