Yes, you heard that right.  Do NOT try to paint your bathtub.  I know you have a PINK tub from 1950 that is sure to incur buyer SHOCK.  Sure, as a quick fix to sell your house, you may be tempted to pick up a do-it-yourself kit from Home Depot with "guaranteed" tub paint. 

Unfortunately, it DOES peel off.  And looks REALLY bad once it starts peeling.

Just take a look at this gold tub painted white!  Now that the paint is peeling off, it makes the tub look dirty.  It would have been better to replace the tub than to take this short-cut.

Don't do it!  Just give your local contractor a call and he'll be happy to remove the old tub and replace it with a 2-piece or 3-piece fiberglass tub.  And when you get that offer in -- you'll be happy you did!
