Hello Wanda,

There are not favorable results with painting any items heavily exposed to water. I replaced mine with one that I found at the supermarket.

It has a silicone basket and its holding up nicely. Have a look here at the review and Q&A.

? are you wanting to paint the sink strainer, ? or use it to paint something?

Hi, Wanda. Are you asking how you should paint a sink strainer? If so, I'd suspect cleaning it well, ensuring it's dry and then using a metal bonding paint after taping off the surrounding area. However, these are available for ~$5 (US) at home goods stores.

While searching, I typed sink strainer painting and came across several really cool videos of artwork using sink strainers, so if that's what you meant with your question, here is the link to some videos on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-O9vlhcYzw0

They're so pretty!
