We are trying to get our house ready to sell. One of the sinks in the master bathroom has some small areas where the paint has chipped off leaving the metal exposed. Is there an inexpensive way to paint over the chipped areas? If so, what would you use? Thanks.

nanosolu,

If you are getting ready to sell, replacement would be the best option. Cost for this is not that much for a vanity bowl.

Anything you do now, in trying to hide what it looks like, will not look good. In fact, it would make a potential buyer wonder what else you are trying to hide.

Good Luck!

nanosolu, Welcome to the DIY Forums.
You may want to try an appliance touch-up paint. Not sure how close the color will be but it's worth a shot. Make sure the area is clean and dry before doing this. Good luck with your project.

While my above answer to your question is one option,it does leave it open for the potential buyers to look closer to see what else has been "covered up".
Your best bet would be to replace the sink. Some sinks are not that expensive and the reward will out weigh the cost.
