How to Paint a Plastic Bathroom Sink

Painting a plastic bathroom sink is a simple and inexpensive way to update the look of your bathroom. With the right materials and a little bit of time, you can have a new-looking sink in just a few hours.

Materials you'll need:

Plastic bathroom sink
Sink cleaner
Sandpaper (100-grit and 220-grit)
Painter's tape
Plastic primer
Acrylic paint
Clear acrylic sealer
Paintbrush or roller

Instructions:

Step 1: Clean the sink

Use a sink cleaner to remove any dirt, grease, or soap scum from the sink. Rinse the sink thoroughly with water and allow it to dry completely.

Step 2: Sand the sink

Use 100-grit sandpaper to sand the entire surface of the sink. This will help to create a smooth surface for the paint to adhere to. Once you have sanded the entire sink, use 220-grit sandpaper to smooth out any rough spots.

Step 3: Tape off the edges

Use painter's tape to tape off any edges of the sink that you do not want to paint, such as the faucet or the drain. Be sure to press the tape down firmly so that no paint can seep underneath.

Step 4: Prime the sink

Apply a coat of plastic primer to the entire surface of the sink. Allow the primer to dry completely before proceeding.

Step 5: Paint the sink

Apply a thin coat of acrylic paint to the entire surface of the sink. Allow the paint to dry completely before applying a second coat. You may need to apply multiple coats of paint to achieve the desired coverage.

Step 6: Seal the sink

Once the paint is completely dry, apply a coat of clear acrylic sealer to the entire surface of the sink. This will help to protect the paint from scratches and wear.

Step 7: Remove the tape

Once the sealer is dry, carefully remove the painter's tape. Be sure to pull the tape straight up so that it does not damage the paint.
