Is it possible to refinish or paint a toilet seat?

Question

Cleaning has worn the paint/finish off the seat.  It is one of the sturdier - not flimsy, cheap seats.

Johnchip · Answer

Lightly sand it down to give it some tooth then spray paint it. I would use an enamel spray.

The wood ones at Walmart are very sturdy and are only $6, they have the plastic ones and they are $10

I have too many rentals to keep buying new toilet seats. ***** HOW TO PAINT YOUR TOILET SEAT SO IT LOOKS LIKE NEW ***** WHAT YOU WILL NEED ***** Rust-oleum Painter's Touch 2x Ultra Cover Spray Paint + Primer in Gloss White - $3.87 at Home Depot ***** A well-ventilated area such as outside or a garage. ***** Newspaper, painters cloth or other cover that can get painty ***** STEP 1: Give your toilet a quick and thorough cleaning, and let the toilet seat dry completely. *****  STEP 2: Remove your toilet seat (SIMPLE! just use a flat-head screw driver) and bring toilet seat to a well-ventilated place. ***** STEP 3: Use your drop cloth or newspaper to cover areas of the toilet seat you don't want to get painted. ***** STEP 4: Follow the directions on the spray paint can and shake till its well mixed. ***** STEP 5: Spray a light coating 6-10 inches away on the toilet seat and let it dry. Don't spray too close or over spray or you'll get drips and bubbles. I waited about 30 or so minutes in-between each coating. ***** STEP 6: Repeat step 5 as many times as you need to for desired results. ***** STEP 7: Once completely dry (which according to the can, and by can I mean paint (pun fully intended), it should be 'dry enough to handle in 1 hour/ fully dry in 24 hours'), & return your *LIKE NEW* toilet seat to your throne. ***** It really is a great transformation because this re-painted toilet seat now looks as clean as it is! The new tenants will be happy with their toilets, and what's not to love about that?

Clean it well off the toilet, sand lightly with 220 grit sandpaper. Spray with Rustoleum Paint + Primer, in light coats so you don't get drips or runs, outside or in a room where you spray paint safely, well ventilated.
