Prep the Vanity: Remove any hardware and clean the surface thoroughly with a degreaser.
Sand it Down: Using sandpaper, scuff up the surface to create a smooth and even finish for the paint to adhere to.
Prime It: Apply a coat of primer to prevent the paint from peeling or absorbing stains.

Seal the Deal: Once the paint is completely dry, apply a topcoat to protect it from wear and tear.
Hardware Refresh: Install new hardware to give your vanity a whole new look.
Tips and Tricks:
Use a sanding sponge or orbital sander for a more even finish.
Tape off any areas you don't want painted, such as the mirror or faucet.
