I pine for a future when I'm not finding interesting stuff like this because there's a mad president who does mad things that no-one dare question.

They're using Rhino Pipeliner 5000, which freezes as sprayed-on curds almost exactly as it hits the surface. Won't flow out, flatten, and self-level like standard epoxy or paint would. Under standing water, the orange peel texture is a perfect scaffolding for algae, bacteria, and general bio scum This shoot shrinks 1-3% when curing, which in a pipe is exactly what you want. On a big slab, uh, no it will pull towards the center and delaminate from the substrate at the edges.

Honestly I don't know why they painted it. There are people in Devon and Cornwall with pools. It is well known that pool paint is (a) a thing (b) a cheap shïtty solution. Next least shït is a vinyl lining, followed by pool tiles which are ruinously expensive but last long enough for places like hotels to make them worthwhile.

The only reason they've painted it is because it is quick. But it will look like total carp again with in 1-2 years even if it.ia done right.
