I am redoing a bathroom, and looking to paint my towel bars a matte black color.
I know the easy button is Amazon and but new, but what I have are the right style, very well made, and too good to dispose of. Plus, I need more jobs....
What's the best process for a durable flat finish? I'm thinking water sanding the existing lacquer (?) topcoat and get down to a good base. Then a 2k rattle can primer, water sand again, and topcoat with a flat black Tremclad enamel? (Topcoat might have to be sprayed, not a rattle can?). Then 'baked', or at least kept very warm, for 48 hours.
Automotive paint seems like overkill, but maybe that's a better route for a good result?
I am not doing the faucet or shower handles, they will be bought new. I just want a durable non-chipping towel bar.
