Paint a Toilet? Sure!

Dear Tim,
Is it possible to paint a white toilet to match a 1950's yellow one. The base broke on my yellow bowl. The bathroom has matching yellow tile, sink and tub so I really need to find a yellow toilet

No. The *paint* will never stick inside the bowl. Contact remodeling contractors and plumbers near you. Tell them you have placed a $150 bounty on old toilets they remove on a regular basis that *match* your tank.

I will let you know how it turns out, I love your show and I do all the repairs to our house. My husband loves the show but can not fix a thing.

I have a yellow toilet made by american standard if that person is still looking for one! I don't know where he's located but I'd be interested in a trade if he has a white one!

Hi, I have a home built in 1968 with 5 Case-Wall hung toilets in 5 different colors. Not a white one in the bunch.
I have searched througout the country and managed to find one white one. Lucky me. I have decided not to wait for my next white toilet find and go ahead and try to paint the others white.
Do you know of someone in Michigan that can sucessfully paint these for me. I love my toilets but the colors are out of date.
Thank you

Cathy,
I do not. It is an exercise in futility. I predict the paint will fail. As crazy as this sounds, I would LOVE to hear back from you telling me in a year that I was wrong. If you discover a process that really works and looks good for a year or more, I want to know about it.

I live in SW Ohio and I, too have 5 different color wall-hung toilets from the late 60's, but I do have 1 white one. I have found that there are some other options. I am about to replace the first one (the white one by coincidence) with a Duravit wall hung. It is a European model that features dual-mode flushing. The "tank" mounts inside the wall and the only access you need for service is behind the flush button. It is going to work out real well for me because two of the bathrooms I am refitting are very small. The Duravit I'm looking at will add an extra 5" of room over my American Standard even though it is a round bowl model and the Duravit has an elongated bowl. The extra room would be around 10" if my current one had an elongated bowl. The only down side is the cost. The best price I have found on the Duravit with all the necessary hardware is around $850 so far. I plan on saving the old fixtures and maybe selling them to recoup some of the costs as I replace them.

Bill,
If you are ever interested in selling your toilet, let me know. Can you send me a picture? Although, I'm not sure if your wall-hungs have a carrier on top with 2 bolt system on the back, I still might be able to use that white one.
Have you ever tried Atlas Plumbing here in Detroit. They have tons of wall hung toilets.

Dear Sir

I have a pink toilet and basin in ceramic, and would like to paint it white.

I am restoring a 50's era bathroom with yellow Crane fixtures all are in good shape except the toilet. I found one but, when it arrived it was broken in transit. Now I need help, bathroom is complete sans toilet. Help me please, I need a yellow toilet not necessarily Crane, just so it has a 12 inch drop.

Why can't someone tell me how to paint a toilet? I know I can use boat paint,but that is all I know.I have been all over the net. I think it is a very simple question!

We are bldg. a house and have bought a teal jet tub by Neptune. Now I can't find a toilet to match. Any suggestions? I am considering your idea of getting a white toilet and painting a teal design on the back and seat cover. I am an artist and am also painting a design on the tiles. Perhaps the same design would work on the toilet.

I am looking for a replacement for my American Standard elongated yellow toilet. My bathroom is yellow and I love the color - if anyone has one, please e-mail with price and location (SW ohio). Thanks

We have a cultured marble bathroom counter top. The all-in-one sinks are starting to stress crack around the drain area. Is there any way to fix these surface cracks with epoxy, etc. & then refinish the sink &/or counter top? We have been looking into the countertop transformation products as our counters are 1970s yellow.
Thanks
