Roll Silver
What is the best way to paint over a chrome toilet roll holder?

Just repainted my ensuite bathroom and all the trim (towel rack, countertops, mirror frame, light switches, electricity outlet, air vent, fan, floor tiles, etc.) are all nice and white … except for the toilet roll holder, which is a silver chrome colour.

It really stands out and looks ugly, and I’d like to have it match the rest of the room. Removing it isn’t an option, as it’s pretty much cemented into the wall, so I would like to paint over the chrome and make it white, like everything else, but I’m not sure what the best way to do so is. What kind of paint should I use? Do I need a primer? Should I sand down the toilet roll holder first?

Any advice greatly appreciated, thanks!
please note: I cannot remove it. It’s literally cemented into the wall and would make a huge, huge mess to remove, not to mention I’d have to caulk, poly-fill, sand and repaint the entire wall if I did. I don’t want to remove it, I want to paint over it. Thanks! :)

First prime. Two coats if you can. Then spray paint. I did mine with a hammered finish spray paint. Has lasted 10 years. People are amazed when I tell them it’s paint.

Bob Seger has racked up a lot of worthy tracks over the years, but it took until 1994 for a greatest hits package to appear. VoilĂ . The bad news: We’re missing an awful lot of songs here. Night Moves is Seger’s crit-pick album, and a great place to start if you don’t have any Seger at all. Next in the rankings is Stranger in Town. Otherwise, his highs are pretty scattered, which would make any be…
