Can You Paint A Plastic Utility Sink

One of the photos was of a laundry room and it included a duo toned laundry tub.

Can you paint a plastic utility sink.

The washington post recommends using krylon fusion for plastic and rust oleum paint for plastic. Before you begin be prepared to be without a sink for a time. Apply 2 3 light coats letting each one dry in between for 15 minutes. But i thought adding a little interest to it with some spray paint that works on plastic would be a nice touch.

You can do a diy fiberglass sink or tub on a budget. Mix the 2 part epoxy paint together following instructions. Remove all fixtures and tape up the area. The sink paint takes 15 minutes to dry to the touch but will take 3 days to fully cure.

You d need to completely cover surfaces other than the sink where paint droplets might. 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. Use epoxy paint or ep acrylic paints. Wear gloves and a mask and be sure to ventilate the room.

The paint is much thinner than i expected it to be. Allow the paint to dry for three days. Since i already had a plastic laundry tub that worked fine i wasn t going to get a new one. Krylon and rust oleum sell their plastic paints only in spray cans so dealing with overspray is critical.

I am happy to announce to you right now that yes painting the slop sink worked. Shake it well hold the can 10 16 away from the sink and spray in a steady back and forth motion. The instructions say it can be rolled brushed or sprayed. I chose a 4 mini roller and a 1 foam brush to get the corners.
