    You may want to look into this product http://www.superjetco.com/BathBrite.html Paint doesn't last long on fiberglass unless you sand the entire surface with 180 grit paper and apply a marine boat paint.

    Are you sure your tub is fiberglas? Avocado was in the early 70's, not a lot of colored fiberglas plumbing fixtures are that time. Could it be cast iron? Totally different steps to refinish those.
