    Kitchen sinks aren't painted. They have porcelain baked on. They do make a refinishing kit for tubs and sinks but they don't last. My advice would be to save your money and replace the sink. Good luck, Tom

    Tom nailed it: re-glazed sinks do not last too long and start chipping off few month after costly refinishing. People usually re-glaze sinks and tubs few weeks prior sell of their house so the house sells better...

    Hi TLG:

    The paint is called EPOXY PAINT... it has specific instructions how to clean the surface (sandpaper) and apply the paint. As Tom pointed out, it can be purchased as a paint-on paint kit or a spray-on spray kit... sold at home depot, menard's or lowe's. You will need to open all windows when using this product (or purchase a moderately-priced respirator)

    You will need to remove the strainer assembly and the faucet for best results (or can or at a minimum, tape over the faucet and strainer).

    I do not recommend that you do this... ;) As these guys already pointed out...it won't last long!

    Good luck!
