Tub liner vs. Paint

By dorkusmilorkus

We just did some upgrades in our bathroom, and they look fantastic. The last piece of the puzzle: the bathtub is still mauve.

Does anyone have any advice regarding tub liners or painting your bathtub? If so, which is better? Also, how much do tub liners & installation usually run?

Thanks for your input!
