Re: shower base

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @micsuhan. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about painting a shower tray.

The only really option for painting is if it is a metal tray with a vitreous enamel coating on it. You can test this with a magnet. If it sticks, then you can use White Knight 500ml White Tub and Basin Paint on it. However, if it doesn't, then it is likely some type of poly-marble, and this coating will not adhere.

 

No primer is required, but the painted surface must be scuffed up with sandpaper. Full directions are on the packaging.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
