Question:

What paint should I use on my plastic bathroom sink cabinet?

The under-sink cabinet in my bathroom is cheap hollow plastic and is the most hideous shade of off-white, just looks dingy. I want to paint it a nice, clean, bright white. What kind of paint should I use and how do you go about painting it?

Answer:

use krylon spray paint-follow the directions on the can.
Melamine paint, designed for plastic ( google it )
Remove the hardware, sand the entire surface, prime, and then paint with any paint you choose. Use gloss or semi gloss and replace the hardware..
u should really watch the home and garden channel. It has some shows on there that show u how to recycle things u have and how to manage ur money so u can fix things up too. and in the kitchen, u said it was small. to open it up, just put a small mirror right behind the stove. it really makes it look a lot bigger. if it cant be permanent, then i would suggest buting the hooks that dont leave marks on ur walls. for ur furniture, i would decorate ur couch with a dark blue blanket that is folded over into a triangle, buy a few cheapo throw pillows in a similar color to the blanket and the same amount of pillows in a cream or white color so u dont have the same color everywhere. to seperate ur two rooms i would probly try to put a small table or maybe evn something like a bench ya kno? it would be able to seperate the two rooms and if you buy the bench it would add storage. u alwas want more storage no matter what! then in ur bathroom, for more storage i would buy something that is kind of like a tower with shelves, in silver, and that way u can store ur towels on some of the bottom shelves and maybe ur lotions and bubble baths or anything else on some of the top shelves. to add color to ur bathroom i would bring in some colorful towels and maybe a new shower curtain. it adds ur personality and it brightens the whole room. good luck with every thing! i hope i helped u some...
Spray paint. Doesn't matter what kind. Go to Kmart, Walmart, Big Lots, Lowes, Dollar store and buy a can. The cap of the can is the color of the paint. Get gloss white. And get yourself some masking tape. One roll. Total cost under 5 bucks. Tape over the sink where you don't want to paint. Shake the paint for a minute or two till you can't hear the ball no more. Paint the cabinet from left to right - always keeping the can moving when you have the nozzle down. It's real easy to have runs with spray paint if you keep the can in the same spot too long. Always keep it moving. You can practice on a piece of cardboard if you've never painted before. Spray light coats. Give it 20 minutes between coats. May take 2-3 coats if it's really dingy.
