@thebewitchinghour831 3 года назад

We only have one bathroom, so I would have to get a cheap seat from the dollar store for temporary use while doing the project. I love our wood seat and I can’t find one similar so this fix is perfect. The worst thing about the worn spots is even though you know the seat is clean, it looks like a poop stain. Lol

@BudsSmartHome 3 года назад

Lol! By the way if you choose to do this, make sure that you don’t use the mineral spirits that I specify in the video. Just use a damp cloth to wipe the seat down after sanding. Unless you make sure that the mineral spirits are completely dry, it may affect the adhesion of your new paint. I neglected to mention that in the video. My best for your project’s success.

@mustanghildago4540 3 месяца назад

@opie7257 8 месяцев назад

I love the DIY concept but when you consider the time and materials, as well as the challenge of getting such a nice finish as original, I would opt to buy a replacement Mayfair toilet seat that is not soft close and swap out the bottom part to keep it soft close.

Great idea Opie. That’s using your noodle.

@heidihausman-iz9cw 4 месяца назад

I just did this but after several days the paint is still tacky. Feeling bummed it didn’t work as your project did. Also, I removed the plastic bumper bits using a knife and prying up. Very simple to do and much easier than taping them off.

@BudsSmartHome 4 месяца назад

It is highly likely you are using too much paint with too little time between coats. Also, if you used thinner to clean the seat you did not wait long enough for the thinner to totally evaporate. It is actually better to use rubbing alcohol to remove the dust and let the alcohol completely flash off. I recommend that you put it near a heat source to help the paint cure. Use radiant heat not forced air if you can. Alternately, you could place it in the sun if that is doable. As a last resort you can use lacquer thinner and wipe off the paint, wait until the thinner dries, re-sand the seat and wipe with alcohol, and start again.

@bridgetg1916 Год назад

@@BudsSmartHome OOPS! I noticed that the surface is rough on the underside of the toilet seat that we painted. I noticed this when I went to clean it with a wet paper towel: it was not smooth to wip. Now the seat sticks a bit to the toilet bowl when you close it, after I tried to wipe it down gently with a wet paper towel. That's the only part of the toilet seat we did. Is it okay to start over and do this whole procedure again, given it's an old seat and we've already sanded it and painted it once? I wonder if we didn't apply enough rustoleum. The surface is rough to the touch and a wet paper towel ends up getting slightly stuck to the paper. Thanks for your help! Clearly we did something wrong here. Since we have the supplies, I don't mind trying again, unless it's current sanded and sprayed condition makes this hard to do on a second try.

@BudsSmartHome Год назад

If it’s sticking a bit, it sounds like the paint did not fully cure. Also, it’s important that when you wipe it down, you do not use mineral spirits as I had suggested in the video. Although it did not cause issues for me, I found out subsequently that that can react with the paint if it’s not fully dried when you apply paint. My suggestion would be to make sure that the current paint is fully cured before you attempt to sand the seat. You may want to place it under a heat lamp if you have one to help dry the surface. Then very lightly sand the surface with 220 grit sandpaper or higher. I emphasize lightly. Try not to expose any wood. What you want to do is just knock off any high spots. Then wipe it down with a damp cloth to remove all dust, then repaint, making sure that you do several very light coats and leave time in between for the paint to fully dry. Also follow the instructions on the can for complete curing after the finish coat. Let me know how it comes out.

@bridgetg1916 Год назад

@bridgetg1916 Год назад

Bud, sorry, I forgot to ask. About how many sweeps over are you doing with the spray paint can--and how far back are you from the seat when you spray. I think that's about it. Will report back when we do it again. Thanks again for the great video and the answers.

Hi Alice. My best on your painting project. Be sure to use a damp cloth to wipe the seat down good after sanding. Do not use thinner as I did in the video.

@carrie8207 5 лет назад

How much paint was left in the can? We need to replace the toilet seats at my school, but I was thinking maybe we should just use spray paint to give them some color instead of buying a new seat for $20. Is it safe to use spray paint? What if people have sensitive skin? I'm just trying to cover my tracks here!

@edgarava1 Год назад

I wonder if these come with some special paint that is not toxic, I mean, you sit on it every day chipping away the paint with your body, therefore that paint is most likely getting absorbed through your skin and I’m not sure if that can be dangerous on the long run

@BudsSmartHome Год назад

Most paints are not considered toxic after they have fully dried and cured. The toxicity of dried paint can vary depending on the type of paint and its ingredients. Here are some general guidelines: Water-based or acrylic paints: These types of paints are generally considered non-toxic when dry. Once water-based paints have dried and cured, any residual toxicity is typically minimal and not a concern for most people. Oil-based paints: Oil-based paints contain solvents and chemicals that can be more toxic than water-based paints, especially when they are wet or in liquid form. However, once oil-based paints have dried and cured, they are generally considered safe for normal use.

@ChosenMango4233 Год назад

I'm looking to do this myself, thank you for the helpful video! Was 24 hours enough time for the paint to dry? It feels very short for it to not peel or smear with use!

@charleesweets Год назад

Hi Bud, great video! Do you have a solution or product I can use to stop the toilet seat from being sticky? I’ve let it cure for over 48 hours. Maybe too much spray paint? Would a lacquer help?

@BudsSmartHome Год назад

A dirty surface and lack of primer can leave your paint project feeling tacky (sticky) even after the recommended drying time for your chosen product. You can try to fix the sticky paint with heat, or simply strip the surface and start over.

@BudsSmartHome 2 месяца назад

Yes. Applying polyurethane to a painted surface is a good way to protect the paint. Use a water-based product if you're concerned about color because it won't yellow as much as an oil-based one. Make sure that the paint is fully cured before attempting to add the polyurethane. You can also try the Rust Oleum 280702 American Accents Ultra Cover Gloss Clear: amzn.to/3xgULG4

@ambervancurler9561 3 года назад

After doing this exactly the way you did and buying all the same things my toilet seat is left rather chalk like? Not glossy. Is this because the mineral spirits on a water based paint? How can I resolve this?

@BudsSmartHome 3 года назад

You likely used a satin or semi gloss paint. If you prefer a glossy finish you should use a glossy paint. The mineral spirits can create problems if it’s not thoroughly dry/evaporated. If the paint finish is removed and the wood surface is exposed, the thinner could be absorbed into the wood fibers. In the case of exposed wood, a tack cloth dampened with water would be best to remove dust.

I know this particular paint is rated for plastic, however I did not remove the plastic stoppers on my lid and the paint did not adhere well to these plastic surfaces as well as the wood surface. To be fair I did not scuff the plastic surface like I did the wood surfaces. If you’re going to attempt to paint plastic, you’ll want to ensure that you scuff all surfaces of the lid with sandpaper very well to improve the chances of good adhesion.

Here is a six pack for only $.43 per ounce. amzn.to/45BlFVt. That comes out to around five dollars a can.

I feel like the bleach in my cleaner ate away at the toilet seat enamel.

It may have if you were using straight bleach. I use Comet soft cleanser that contains bleach. It removes stains but it is scratch free.

If it expensive. Its worth doing it but toilet seat that cost $10 or under. Ain’t worth it. The paint already cot $4-6 dollars 😂

This is a Mayfair soft close toilet seat that costs around $34 new. It’s worth it to repair it in my book for the cost of 4 - 6 dollars and a little bit of time. amzn.to/3GvwEot

WHERES THE CLEAR COAT? THE FINISH WILL JUST COME OFF AGAIN WITH LYSOL OR CLOROX CLEANERS!

Mine has held up very well Johnny. But a clear coat would certainly provide added protection. Thank you for commenting.

Lol! That's hilarious. So what your saying is you could grab a brand new one for $10 cheaper! Haha. I'm sure your wife just loves cleaning it too. I have the exact same toilet seat it was like $27 @ Walmart. I will say it's a great one though cause most of them that cost way more their self close system tears up very quickly. Anyways just go buy a new seat and be done with it.
