How to Change the Color of a Sink

Clean the sink as you normally would. Remove any lingering rust or soap scum from the sink with a rust and soap scum cleaner, and scrub brush. Rinse the sink clean with cool water and dry with a towel.

Remove the caulking around the sink by gently scraping it off with a paint scrapper. Discard the old caulking in a garbage can.

Repair any chips or cracks in the sink. Use a sink repair kit to fix the damage. Follow all directions included in the repair kit.

Protect the faucet fixtures by covering with masking tape. Cover the surrounding area with a drop cloth. Cover the drain with masking tape. Remove excess masking tape from around the drain with a utility knife.

Dampen a cloth with acetone. Wipe the entire sink -- both inside and out -- with the acetone. Let the acetone dry on the sink.

Hold the bonding agent can 6-inches from the sink. Apply the bonding agent to the sink in a steady sweeping motion. Start at the sink and work your way outward. Move from left to right while overlapping the strokes.

Continue applying a light coat of the bonding agent until you have covered the entire sink. Wait for 5 to 15 minutes before continuing.

Hold the refinisher paint coating 6-inches above the sink. Apply the paint coating in short strokes, starting at the drain and working outward.

Apply three coats of the refinisher paint coating to the sink. Wait 5 minutes between each coat before applying the next one. Let the sink dry for 48 hours before using.
