Can you Spray Paint Bathroom faucets?...Oh yes you can!

By The Style Sisters - Thursday, March 29, 2012

Can you spray paint your bathroom faucets, lights, door handles and shower trim?
Will it last?....
I have moved from this house so I don't know how it has held up...But I think as long as you don't use abrasive cleaners on the faucets they should last a long time. I would also ask your local paint guy at Lowe's or Home Depot if there is some sort of sealer to put over them to protect them from hard water spots.

I have recently moved the entire DIY over to my new blog here
Sorry for the inconvenience

  1. I'm glad to see someone else do this! I spray painted my bathtub faucet black last year and it has held up great! I replaced the other faucets. but the bathtub ones were $250 and up...not happening! Mine has held really well so far. I would love to do the edge of the shower door, but was not brave enough. Beautiful!! Love the blue!

  13. Would share exactly what spray paint and brand you used. I would like to try this with my bathroom.

    Thanks - Kari

  14. What brand did you use? I am totally going to do this with my awful brass fixtures!

  15. Thanks for sharing your bathroom re-do. We're getting ready to do ours too and now I don't need to spend lots of bucks to do it!

    Would love to know how you painted the trim on the shower door. We have the same type. How did you tackle the silicone at the joints?

    Thanks for sharing your inspiration.

  16. Great job! Just curious as to how you protected the surrounding tub area when spray painting the shower trim. Also, did you use a base coat / primer? How is it holding up?

    ReplyDelete
  17. Your post was inspiration to me! I have spray painted every. single. door knob and hinge in our house and they are looking great so far. My husband suggested I spray paint the faucets but I hesitated...until I read this. I am so glad I found your blog through the DIY show off! Now I know it can be done. I'd probably seal the faucets with some kind of clear sealer too, did you? Also, yes, let me know if you figure out a way to get the cracks out of your sink, I'd love to know!

  18. I am so excited to have found your blog. I have the gold knobs and fixtures in just about every room of my home and have been considering painting them. I know that it would cost far less than buying all new. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to giving it a try.

  19. P.S. Make sure to use a primer! Rustoelum makes one that is a metal primer. I also sanded my knobs and stuff before that. Infarrantly Creative has a great tutorial: http://www.infarrantlycreative.net/2010/03/spray-painting-door-knobs.html

  21. Bathrooms should have clean appearance. Especially if you are going to try to sell a house, this area is one the main areas of the house the wife are looking at, with the other being the kitchen. Thinking of getting a bathtub paint job done, that's a great idea.

  22. Hi, I'm just now discovering your great blog & I noticed it's been about a year since this post. So I'm wondering how the paint on the faucet fixtures has worn?! Inquiring minds want to know! Would you please shoot me an email & let me know? mishlunt@yahoo.com

    Warmly, Michelle

  23. As with Michelle, I too am curious how the paint on the faucets is holding up. I'd also like to know the exact process you used to prepare & paint your faucets & what products you used. Please email me, skhaynie1@msn.com. Thanks!

  32. I was really excited to read this article but disappointed that the blogger hasn't responded to inquiries about the faucet paint holding up. I can only assume at this point that it hasn't...or has it?

  33. Great job! I love it. I quickly scanned through the post..did you replace your vanity completely or paint the old vanity? I read that you painted the facets black..did I miss something? I am making a list up for our handyman/home remodeler and the Main bathroom that guest use is on our "Wish List" I'd like to frame out the mirror and replace the lights above the mirror. The old vanity is the builder orginal in 1977. We have replaced the toilet and the bathtub is in good condition. Been used only 3 or 4 times in 7 yrs. We are shower people..so I'm going to let that go unless we have it sprayed professionally but don't want to go to that expense. We just replaced the toilet..and plumber told us there are 2 layers of flooring in addition to the original ceramic tile..We think the last layer is cheap sheeting type and I can live with that for a while. It's easy to keep clean and to mop.

    I'm just wondering if the old vanity which is probably the MDF wood, will it paint up well? Has anybody ever had any experience with this?

  34. Everything looks awesome but I'm wondering how you painted the shower trim. Did you take it all apart and spray it, or did you hand paint it? How well did it wear?

    1. Awesome Job! I'm so glad to have found this site because I want to paint my bathroom fixtures too! I saw on EHOW where it says to sand every inch of the surface to be painted with a 220 grit so the paint will adhere. Then spray 1 coat of a metal primer/2 coats of metal paint/2 coats of a protective lacquer and it should make them very durable. This is going to save me SOOOOO much money instead of replacing the fixtures!! I just knew this had to be possible! So glad I checked the internet!!

  41. Spray Coater evolved from airbrushes, and the two are usually distinguished by their size and the size of the spray pattern they produce. Wow, you can really see the result of using a spray in painting, amazing!

  43. A new bathroom sink can go a long way in revitalizing your bathroom. When you’re on a strict budget, this may be a good way to change the look of your bathroom without breaking the bank.

  44. I like your black color tapes. I get a lot of ideas from this blog for my bathroom. You can also repaint your sink by texturing or use plaster of paris to full lines.

  49. I had never considered doing this with spray paint. From the pictures it looks like it works out pretty well. I will have to try this out with my own bathroom fixtures in Edmonton and hopefully it will turn out as well as yours.

  51. Thank you very much to provide me great information about painting. Everyone can make their home beautiful with your informative blog. I learnt many things from your blog like the formation of bathroom faucets. In given above picture, firstly faucets was in black color but after your creativity it converted in to golden color that is amazing.
