5 gal. Tournament Blue Recreational Surface Coating

Make sure you have the right squeegee. Make sure you buy 1 or 2...5 gallon buckets of your top coat For later touch ups. Remember to prep all the bird baths.

The product looked great for about 6 months when I painted my tennis court last Summer. Unfortunately, it only lasted a few months until it started raining. The court has bubbled up in hundreds of places and now is a complete disaster. The black resurfacer worked great. When it the top coat peels the primer coat is still in great shape underneath. Wish I would have read the reviews a little better. This would probably work better in warmer climates, definitely not the Seattle area.

Ready to use. Easy to use my doesnt cover very well overall good value even though it needs 3 coats

Beware!! If you are doing a project on concrete painting for your sports court, please STAY AWAY from this product!!! We are experienced concrete painters in our old residence and we used a competitor’s product (Universal Tennis) in 2015 without any issues. Unfortunately, they are now out of business. We followed this product’s directions as indicated. Even used their primer. But these Plush paints are producing bubbles horribly! It adviced how many buckets you should buy but we ended up spending thousands of dollars for our full basketball court! We tried contacting, communicating, emailing the Manufacturer and they did not want to own the problem. These products are made by Dalton Enterprises. Read the other reviews and i feel so bad for all the victims! My biggest regret is that i didn’t read reviews enough before we bought it. Now our problem is how to undo it! Here, we include pictures of our old house’s court that we DYI and pictures of our new court. You can see the difference! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PRODUCT!

It looked good for a very short while, and then it began to bubble and crack in many places. I used 3 coats of each color plus spent $350 on the recommended primer. I followed the directions exactly including waiting 30 days after concrete was poured. Now the paint is bubbling and tearing away down to the concrete. Terrible product. Over $1000 of paint, supplies, and multiple weekends of work ruined by a bad product.

It covered the said square footage. Was easy to applied. Dried fast and looks beautiful......

I love this paint. I looked at it for 4 yrs and decided to go for it. I patched my tennis court and rolled the paint on . It took 3 1/2 5 gallon buckets for the green. Will see how it holds up though the winter. I am a 67 yr old women and it was very easy to use. Are painting the lines and then doing the red outside next.

Excellent paint, we love the color

I had a 3" concrete slab poured in my backyard two months ago for a basketball court and wanted to give the surface some color and that tennis-court surface feel. I found this product on Home Depot's website, read the reviews (for all three colors available) and decided this product would fit the bill. I started out by acid etching my concrete slab with muriatic acid and pressure washing the acid off after a few minutes. I waited a few days later and applied the Plush Acrylic Resurfacer to give the base that grippy texture and as a bonding agent for the Plush Tournament color surface coating. The directions in the Acrylic Resurfacer calls for mixing in 80-100 mesh silica sand but Home Depot only sells 30 mesh silica sand and the other big box home improvement store doesn't carry silica sand. Applying the Plush Acrylic Resurfacer is a real pain in that it gets very clumpy and leaves behind clumps of varying sizes that I later have to go back and scrape off. I think it must be due to using the course 30 mesh silica sand but I really don't know where to buy this 80-100 mesh silica sand. Anyhow, after two coats of the Plus Acrylic Resurfacer and a lot of scraping to level it all out, it was time to apply two coats of the Tournament color Recreation Surface Coating. Using a 32" squeegie, I was able to squeegie the color across the entire surface of the resurfaced floor. The resurfaced based really absorbed that first coat well -- so well, that the blue surface quickly darkened up after it dried and left a rather patchy looking mess with some sections more transparent than others. You absolutely need to apply a second coat after the first coat dries to get the color to opaquely cover the dark grey Acrylic resurfaced base and so that it doesn't leave a patchy look. But after the second coat was applied, the surface looked great! Afterwards, I painted the basketball court key (the rectangle area under the hoop that leads to the free throw line) a yellow color using yellow latex striping paint, mixed with an anti-slip paint additive. The yellow latex striping paint adhered nicely over the dried up tournament color surface coating. I chose to go with a paint to get the contrast and color combination I wanted (the Plush color system is quite limited with just blue, green, and red). So why did I give this product only 3 stars instead of 4 or 5 stars? Well, I originally started with two 5-gallon buckets and after the first coat, realized that two buckets was not enough for two coats (33' x 32' area). So I ordered another 5-gallon bucket (this was three weeks after the first two buckets). Well, to my disappointment, the new bucket was a completely different hue of blue!! Unbelievable!!! Don't they use the same ratio of ingredients when manufacturing this product!? I had to spend two hours mixing back and forth the new product with the remaining product I had from the previous order until I ended up with an even mixture of both colors. This was a real pain. Yes, I used a power drill with a paint mixer but I wanted all the buckets to be the same color. I am going to attach photos to show you the obvious difference in color tones between the two buckets. Horrible. If you order the right number of buckets in advance, you'll be fine but if you do end up using more than one batch, be prepared to be disappointed as you'll need enough product to completely cover what you've already applied. The end result looks great if you don't encounter the color differences between one bucket to another as you can see from the end result (photos attached).

First time using product. Was a little tricky to master squeegee application, but the end result was fantastic.
