After ten years, I've been looking at this builder grade vanity in my master bath. It was beginning to show some wear so I decided it was time for a makeover. There's only one problem....money! Isn't is always??? So, the most frugal way to make over that vanity was paint. I purchased a quart of Rustoleum Protective Enamel Oil Based paint in Satin Black and I already had some leftover Zinsser 123 Bulls Eye Primer.
If you haven't used Zinsser primer, you must begin to use it for ALL your DIY painting projects. I don't even sand my pieces. Just apply the Zinsser, let it dry and then apply your paint. I used the water based, which is fine to use under latex or oil based paint but they also make an oil primer.
I find that using oil based paint, like Rustoleum Protective Enamel glides on smoother, leaving less brush marks. I also love Purdy paint brushes.

Here are a couple more photos. I love the outcome.
