one thing that concerns me, though, is how it will match the rest of the bathroom. the vanity, and the bulkhead walls appear to be more of an "off-white" or ivory color. I don't think that's discoloration from the years gone by. Certainly, the ABS plastic fixtures are yellowed. but the closet door and bulkheads appear to be an off-white formica type laminate. wonder if POR15 will come out with an "OFFWHITECOAT™"
We did ask the dealer if pigments could be added, no plans at this time. it would take away from the bonding. ALL 5 of the removable plastic pieces have been removed. I will be working on puting the cover on the black tank soon. I need to make shim adjustments to the height. I did not like the factory wobble while , errr, ummmm, sitting there, you know what I mean.... I may be painting the removed closet wall before installing, I'll bring it in tonight and look at the color. Anything would be better than that dappled pinkish color!

As promised, I got a pic of the contrast of the bright white and off white. Not sure you can get a good view of the 2 pieces together? The original paint is not in bad shape, however I might as well paint the areas I can while everything is removed.
Hi, just a quick note on tinting the epoxy for the bath. Read the label and it tells you that you can add up to 1 oz. of pigment for a color change, nothing drastic just to shade out the brillant white. I'm redoing mine in a mellow yellow to stay as original as possible.
I've had mine redone for about 6months now and still looks like new. I just got back from using my A/S in the Key's and the stuff is strong. It held up to two teenage girls walking on it and using the bathroom non-stop. Very happy with the stuff I used.
I'm not sure if I used the same stuff that BALRGN used, mine is just the two part epoxy you can get at HomeDepot. Easy, no primer, 1 coat. Most important part is making sure pieces are very clean.
I give it 3 thumbs up
Greatpumpkin, here is another manufacturer of solid surface sinks available in a variety of colours. I actually have one of these in my kitchen and it is standing up very well to everyday use.
Guys,
I am a newbie to Airstreams (only had my 79 Sovereign for 3 weeks). I have stripped all my furniture out and I am now working on fixing some soft flooring. However, in the bathroom we have the "yellow" plastic sink and counter-top and we have the really ugly flowered wall board all over. My question is this...Could you use Por-15 or Rust-oleum's tub and tile on that wall board to change it's color? Would it stick? Thanks for helping and if this question has already been asked I'm sorry.

I have kept up with Balrgn's progress and have read others' comments about Krylon. Keep in mind this is just an opinion, but I feel that for the end cap that yellows the Krylon would be excellent.
But for the heavier use (and water) the sink / shower gets, The Whitecoat would be the better product. And I plan to do it in place with a brush and masking tape.
I plan to finally get to doing mine in the fall this year. I am also thinking / planning of useing the Marine Clean on the other bathroom parts and maybe the back endcap which is 'much' better than the front one cause of the darkness in the back I'm sure. Krylon will get everywhere! Lots of Mask.
For the crack in the front endcap, I'm thinking Plastic Weld but know the gap is not enough to get a backing piece behind it. What have others done with foot long cracks. I know about drilling a small hole at end.
I hear Kryloin has a plastic paint that does the same thing..
Has any one use Krylon spray paint I just dont have the money or time to apply the paint you guys are using if I can get by this summer with a plastic spray paint I will and fully detail the bathrom over the winter. My bathroom is nasty the counter is all stained and looks like junk so I need to do something and I have a feeling Ill find more Mice nests under then counter topping. But like I said I want to get my family interested in trailering and it is allready june. So question is would the plastic Krylon spray paint do the job?
