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 sink paint takes 15 minutes to dry to the touch but will take 3 days to fully cure. The instructions say it can be rolled brushed or sprayed. Use epoxy paint or ep acrylic paints. Allow the paint to dry for three days.

Krylon and rust oleum sell their plastic paints only in spray cans so dealing with overspray is critical. The paint is much thinner than i expected it to be. These paints should stick to most hard plastics and should be effective for fiberglass composite polypropylene and acrylic. But i thought adding a little interest to it with some spray paint that works on plastic would be a nice touch.

Remove all fixtures and tape up the area. You d need to completely cover surfaces other than the sink where paint droplets might. I chose a 4 mini roller and a 1 foam brush to get the corners. The washington post recommends using krylon fusion for plastic and rust oleum paint for plastic.

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. I am happy to announce to you right now that yes painting the slop sink worked. Mix the 2 part epoxy paint together following instructions. Slop sinks can be made out of various materials so check what you have before starting the project.

Shake it well hold the can 10 16 away from the sink and spray in a steady back and forth motion. Before you begin be prepared to be without a sink for a time. Since i already had a plastic laundry tub that worked fine i wasn t going to get a new one. First you need to clean it thoroughly.
