- First, remove all accessories from the room and place drop cloths or kraft paper on the floor to protect it from any potential paint splatter.

- Start by lightly sanding down the entire unit with a rasp to create a smooth base for the new paint. Next, use an oil-based primer that is suitable for ceramic and porcelain surfaces and apply it with a brush or roller.

- Once you’ve applied the primer, let it dry completely before adding the topcoat of paint. Use either an oil- or water -based paint in the finish of your choice. 

- Keep in mind that if you’re painting components such as the seat and lid, oil-based paints will provide a better sheen than water-based finishes.
