Stop in for a cup of coffee

Ok completely off car topic, but I was wondering if anyone has ever refinished a cast iron tub themselves? if you did was it successful?
The porcelain. The right way is to have it stripped off and redone. Only guy I found doing that was out west and at that time he couldn't get the right formula for cast iron anymore.
The outside, I used Hammerite paint. The real stuff - I heard rumor its been reformulated - hopefully not true.

edit: I assumed it was a clawfoot. Nevermind.
