The painting was actually pretty easy but these steps take time.
Can i paint my utility sink.
Set the bucket of dirty paint rinse water to the side.
I would cover it with a stained wood or maybe thick form board cut to size.
Any coating that you put on the inside will likely not withstand the way you use it.
Disposing of the dirty paint water.
I just love how my new sink turned out and i can honestly say that a utility sink looks stylish.
You can wait for the water to evaporate and the paint solids to settle on the bottom of the bucket.
When cleaning up from your winter painting project here are the steps to clean and properly dispose of paint filled water.
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 myself would not paint it.
You can also add a sprinkle effect for added detail if desired.
It will eventually peel.
Let the paint dry for 24 hours.
I can either 1 wash out all this paint in the sink which seems to take forever and makes me worried about the water treatment facility.
My new utility sink was created.
It was much easier than some of our other plans and very pretty too.
A warm dry climate works best.
It may sound confusing when explaining it but it is exceptionally easy.
I am happy to announce to you right now that yes painting the slop sink worked.
Just remove it when ready to use it.
Use sandpaper to scuff the sink and acetone to remove gloss.
Prime and paint your desired color.
We finished it up with the same stain as the folding counter and some sealant that protects against water then painted the silver legs of the utility sink with this spray paint.
You could still paint the outside if you want.
Krylon and rust oleum sell their plastic paints only in spray cans so dealing with overspray is critical.
And for such.
They recommend using rust oleum epoxy garage floor one car paint.
And that was that.
I think i spent about 1 1 2 hours cleaning the sink before i even started painting.
Or 2 throw them away which wow seems horribly wasteful.
Stainless steel and acrylic sinks can be painted at home.
First remove all the old caulk.
You d need to completely cover surfaces other than the sink where paint droplets might.
Use caution with acetone.
Remove all hardware and clean the sink.
