Yes, hardware stores sell a specific paint for appliances.

Check the reviews on any product like this before you use it. BTW, you can go with white paint in the bathroom and then accent with pink...in other words, play into a color that you don't want to change right now. (Actually, a replacement sink is not that expensive! By the time you buy product, brushes, cleaner, etc. it might be about the same!)

You absolutely can. My husband is renovating an old bathroom in a house we are renovating to sell and rather than get rid of the blue cast iron tub and sinks he painted them white and they look perfect. It is an epoxy paint sold in any hardware store made specifically for such applications. Please make sure to follow all directions specifically and seal all edges so you won't have peeling in the future. Good luck.

My only added comment is the cost. Will your epoxy last more than a year? If not, how much will it cost to redo the sink periodically? Is that cost worth the difference in buying a new sink? I know there are professional bathroom companies that will guarantee their work for a certain length of time. My dad did the green bathtub in our house. The inside only lasted a few months - we used it a lot. The outside was beautiful for several years. Just a thought...sometimes it's worth replacing rather than painting. Let us know how it goes :)

There is also a product that u can paint on the sink and it takes the paint off it bubbles the paint up and you just wipe it off. Neighbors bought a new house and bathtub was green bought this and even worked on the glue that was on the tub!!!

I used rustoleums countertop paint on my cultured marble sink/counter. It has held up wonderful for about a yr EXCept around the faucet. It's peeling. I took the faucet off before I painted, sanded the area, painted multiple coats with several days drying in between. It's a guest bath so not used daily. But we live at the beach and have guests a lot. The actually sink inside the bowl is perfect, but just around the faucet is peeling. Not sure why, because the sink actually gets the water. And I've cleaned it many times. Nothing harsh, usually Lysol wipes and a foam bath cleaner spray. The paint has a strong odor but use in a well ventilated area. And let it dry several days between coats. It took me about 2 weeks to do this counter top.

We had our worn bathtub professionally refinished and it held up well for 5-6 years with no problems until we got a new tub. If the sink is ceramic, I would recommend that.
