Just like you need to sand wood before painting to improve the way paint binds to the surface you ll need to sand porcelain for the same reason.
Can i paint a porcelain sink.
Porcelain sinks should only be refinished professionally but stainless steel and acrylic ones can be painted and repaired.
Sand the entire sink with medium grit sandpaper or sand only the areas on the sink that you wish to touch up with the porcelain paint.
Or can you prep as instructed and use any color of epoxy paint.
Without it paint will chip and ruin the sink.
Let the primer dry for the recommended time in the instructions before moving on to the actual sink paint.
Failure to clean the porcelain properly can lead to permanent stains that discolor the tub s finish.
Allow the paint to dry for 15 minutes and repeat the process with two more light coats of paint allowing dry time.
Apply a bonding primer to the sink with a paint on or spray product like rustoleum sink paint.
Then rinse thoroughly so that your paint has a smooth appearance.
This can be done on your own with proper painting preparation.
Allow about 15 minutes for it to dry.
Then you can paint one coat of latex or ceramic paint and let it dry.
Clean the paint sprayer thoroughly and pour in the paint for your porcelain sink.
However you can re paint a porcelain bathtub using an enamel or epoxy based paint.
Painting your kitchen sink isn t difficult and depending on its size it can be done in two to four hours.
Is there a better way to do that without redoing the whole sink.
Rinse the entire sink with water and dry with a towel.
Apply a light coat to the sink and allow this to dry for the length of time recommended by the paint s.
Brush on the epoxy primer and evenly apply it all over the porcelain surface.
Use 120 grit sandpaper on the entire surface inside and out of the tub toilet or sink.
Apply a light coat of the primer continually moving the paint brush in the same direction to avoid visible brush strokes.
I was hoping to just repair the chips in my sink.
Does this paint cover all that.
Thanks so much for you feedback.
Spray the enamel paint evenly across the entire surface of the porcelain sink.
