Painting the bathroom cabs sink/counter/tub

[loechli]

Has anyone brushed on the Whitecoat or a simlar product with good results?

I want to paint my 72 rear bath bathroom tub and sink, but don't want to tear it apart.

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 am really getting tired of the drab yellow in my bathroom as well as the front cap of our Airstream. I would like to paint these pieces as well, but was wondering if anyone had any luck doing this without taking anything apart. If so, please let me/us know. PM me if you would like and let me know how you did it and how it turned out.

I have some cracks in the shower where you sit.I was wondering if there anyway to repair this or should we just replace it.We don't use the bathroom at all but for storage so we never noticed it before now.After seeing your post about the whitecote We was going to try it on the bathroom sink since the sun had discolored it.then we found the two cracks in the shower sit.So i wanted to see what you'll had to say first.

Looking for a product to redo the sink in my AS. It is the original WHITE double bowl. We want to make it BLACK. OUr new countertops are going to be a blakc granite pattern laminate. The only product I've found readily available is Tough As Tiles, but it is only available in WHITE or tintable with a max of 1 ounce.

Either that or a good source for a small BLACK sink, doesn't have to be double bowl, could be single. If I can't refinish the existing, or find a BLACK one to fit, I'm stuck going with Stainless Steel, which I'd prefer not to do.

I had a crack in the seat of the shower as well, Por 15 (sounds like an edorsment) has a 2 part epoxy that looks like sticks of putty.

It worked great, made a ball, that looked like silly putty and spread it out over the back side. Place a thin layer on the front side and smothed it out, let it dry, hand sanded it. You can not even see it was there now.

The only black sinks that I can think of right now are made by Kindred:

And Frank (look at the granite & fireclay models - shown as white but comes in matte or gloss black):

http://www.frankeksd.com/productcate...?cat=1&node=10

Both companies are related, so you'll see some crossover of models.

If you live in a good sized city, look in the yelwpages for kitchen and bath suppliers (not Home Depot or other big box store). These places will have show rooms that will display fixtures by manufacturers that you wont see at the big box stores. Look at some of the European lines as they tend to be available in colours other than white and bone. I'll have a look through someofmy other product literature and see if I can find anything else for you.

Cheers!

I was wondering. My 75 has a wooden frame under the seating part of the shower, does your? I have to admit, that shower is smaller then most phone booths. I doubt that Clark Kent could change into Superman in that thing.

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.

Yes it does, I made a new one, better than the one that was there to beaf it up and make it steady...

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.

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?

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.

Thanks,
Steve

I'm looking to paint our bathroom tub and sink/counter combo. I've seen several products for fiberglass but have not seen anything for ABS plastics. Everything is solid but it looks cruddy and we want to update the look. I've hit the end caps with kills and latex and I was wondering if anyone has tried this in the bath with an acrylic sealer. Are there any other products out there that anyone can recommend? I think I saw a thread on this once but I can't find it now.

[ALANSD]

here is one of a few threads on this subject...most have used the two part epoxy you can get at HD or similiar store, with good results.

Thanks for the line on the thread. I also found something on the DIY network last night. Since I don't have any damage to the surfaces outside of discoloration, I think I'm going to go straight to a two part epoxie paint. I was actually eyeing a sprayable product the other day. I'll post my results in the coming days.

Thanks Chaplin Kent. That was the thread that I saw before but couldn't track down.
