I would like to decorate the inside of my bathroom sink by painting flowers in it. I can't seem to find a process that will hold up under daily use.

Sherry,
My recomended procedure for painting sinks, bathtubs, tiles, etc. includes sanding, which would scuff the surface and help the primer and paint adhere, which will not apply to you since you are not painting to change the entire color. I would suggest after a thorough cleaning to use a two part epoxy paint, but it only comes in gallons or more and that would be quite expencive depending on how many colors you want to use. You may check with your local hobbie and craft stores and see if they have something you are looking for (in which I would not be fimiliar with)
Other than the epoxies, I do not know of another paint that would withstand the everyday use inside a sink.
