Painting a bronze pool fountain [Texas] 

++++

What kind of paint and "How to" do I need for painting a bronze pool fountain and will the chlorine from the pool affect the paint or bronze fountain.

Hello,

I would stick with an acrlyic solvent based paint, formulated for use on bronze. Nothing will last when subjected to constant water flow and chlorine, so you'll be refinishing the fountain often. An acrylic is a heck of a lot easier to strip and redo than a polyurethane or epoxy.
