refinishing a fiberglass sink
 

I bought a fiberglass sink in great condition and it doesn't match my
new counter. I looked at Lowes/Home Depot for a refinishing kit but
they don't carry them in black. Has anyone done this successfully on
their own with an epoxy based paint or perhaps base coat/clear coat in
which you paint automobiles with?
I don't plan on buying a new sink so it's either refinish it or live
with it.Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Even professional refinishing isn't going to hold up well
to a lot of abuse. e.g. pots, pans, cutlery etc. and a few
kids bashing the hell out of it on daily basis. If this is
a heavily used sink, I'd be inclined to live with it as is.

If it's a light wear application (e.g. a rarely used guest
room) you could try the refinishing. Just be sure to follow
all of the directions very carefully esp. with respect to
cleaning and degreasing the old surface prior to applying
the new one.

I'd go with the bathtub refinishing kits. Some of them are really
good.

Just replace it with one that's the right color, preforably one made
with a decent material. Throwing away a crappy fiberglass sink should
be no problem. Anything you paint on it isn't going to last long
since the fiberglass can flex, etc.
