What about the bathroom sink, countertop and shower basin? My guess is that these are also ABS. Is there general agreement on this forum that Krylon Fusion will also work on the bathroom plastics?
BTW...I used Krylon Fusion (white) on the inside of my refrigerator and I've had no problems. My only concern is that the paint is not glossy enough.

Sem paint is the BEST for painting plastic, leather, fabric, ie,. I painted the complete bathroom on my Argosy including the shower. It was great, adhears well.
Which of their products have you used successfully on plastic? What prep product was used?

Others have had success with the bathtub coatings like Tubby, or the ones they sell at the big box stores (Tile Doctor?).
Clean the end cap and dry it real well. Lightly sand it with a scotch brite pad. I like the brown ones from AutoZone in their paint department. Blow all the dust off with air compressor. Let it sit for a while in the garage to settle the dust. Use a tack cloth (AutoZone as well) all over it. Mask the none painted area with blue tape and newspaper. Use a second tack cloth where my hands may have touched the end cap. Start spraying the top and and then sides like you would with a paint gun. Lots of strokes releasing the trigger while still using a spraying motion. (Follow the instructions on the can regarding drying times.) Repeat until you go through three cans of Krylon per end cap. It helps if you have a hand trigger for the spray can! I also had a fan out side of the window pulling over spray out of unit, this also keeps the air very clean inside!
Sounds like a good plan. As a retired automotive painter, I can identify with your emphasis to prep, prep, prep. The best of paints will not adhere or flow well to material that has been prepped insufficiently. My question was mainly about the type, brand of paint. Sounds like Krylon might be the cheapest answer. Thanks again!
