I have never heard of doing this. Is this even possible? Won't the paint just wear off quickly with use? Why no just install a new low-cost nice looking sink?

The only way I have seen it done, is professionally. Its a special static paint process using a special spray gun they are able to re finish tubs and appliances like this.

I suppose you can treat it like tub? and use a tub refinishing kit.

I painted a cast iron claw foot tub a couple years back used sw kem kromick primer,and top coat was sw tile clad epoxy,came out nice and still holding up.Your sink may get more abuse(dishes,silverware)than a tub,but the kem and tile clad worked for me

Re: What Paint Should I Use To Paint Cast Iron Kitchen Sink?

I did a cast iron tub back in 1992 and I used epoxy A and B mix, but back then paint wasn't made with water and acrylic like todays paints
you could roll the epoxy out let it set up and lay it off with a brush, when it was done looked like a pearl.
