Can you paint a plastic utility sink.

Mix the 2 part epoxy paint together following instructions. The instructions say it can be rolled brushed or sprayed. These paints should stick to most hard plastics and should be effective for fiberglass composite polypropylene and acrylic. Before you begin be prepared to be without a sink for a time.

I am sure it is not going to stay like this for long but if it matters to you to start fresh with a clean sink then this is the way to go. But i thought adding a little interest to it with some spray paint that works on plastic would be a nice touch. One of the photos was of a laundry room and it included a duo toned laundry tub. First you need to clean it thoroughly.

Krylon and rust oleum sell their plastic paints only in spray cans so dealing with overspray is critical. Apply 2 3 light coats letting each one dry in between for 15 minutes. The sink paint takes 15 minutes to dry to the touch but will take 3 days to fully cure. Shake it well hold the can 10 16 away from the sink and spray in a steady back and forth motion.

The washington post recommends using krylon fusion for plastic and rust oleum paint for plastic. Use epoxy paint or ep acrylic paints. Allow the paint to dry for three days. You can do a diy fiberglass sink or tub on a budget.

Wear gloves and a mask and be sure to ventilate the room. Remove all fixtures and tape up the area. The paint is much thinner than i expected it to be. I am happy to announce to you right now that yes painting the slop sink worked.
