Can you paint a plastic utility sink. Allow the paint to dry for three days. The instructions say it can be rolled brushed or sprayed. I chose a 4 mini roller and a 1 foam brush to get the corners. You d need to completely cover surfaces other than the sink where paint droplets might.

Krylon and rust oleum sell their plastic paints only in spray cans so dealing with overspray is critical. Mix the 2 part epoxy paint together following instructions.

The paint is much thinner than i expected it to be. You can do a diy fiberglass sink or tub on a budget. Wear gloves and a mask and be sure to ventilate the room. Remove all fixtures and tape up the area.

The sink paint takes 15 minutes to dry to the touch but will take 3 days to fully cure. These paints should stick to most hard plastics and should be effective for fiberglass composite polypropylene and acrylic.
