I really dont think the calwfoot bathtub was refinished all that well. The outside looks like latex paint. As a bathtub refinisher myself i would have to say ive seen better. Although i do like the granny smith apple color with the white interior. By the way you could probably purchase a beaten up clawfoot bathtub for between $100 and $350 depending on where you live. Restoring it and the plumbing can be pricey. Refinishing it professionally would typically run anywhere from $600-$1000 depending on a number of factors and the plumbing depends on the material you buy (gold plated will cost a lot).

DIY bathtub refinishing kits dont work period. The article was pretty spot on regarding cleaning a bathtub thats in good condition with the exception of the salt and lemon thing (lemon has acid and salt will scar the surface). If you just cant clean your bathtub or it has chips, holes and pitting i suggest bathtub refinishing by a professional. It really is your only choice when dealing with a clawfoot tub. I have posted a video of the Bathtub Refinishing process on my website. I realize this post is old but you never know!
