wheatpuppy posted:Could you paint a toilet with that appliance touch-up paint? You'd want to use the paint for refinishing porcelain fixtures, but that pretty much only comes in white/off white outside of commercial refinishing businesses and it's inclined to chip. I don't know how well it'd hold up around the seat.

Blue Footed Booby posted:I think the idea is that the inside of the bowl is going to be subject to more aggressive cleaning than the outside. Maybe the paint can handle that, maybe it can't. But the original finish absolutely can. That stuff can handle tub grim getting scrubbed off. I think they just didn't want to have to uninstall the toilet, which is what you need to do in order to get it fully dried and prepped for the paint.

Thats the norm for mobile homes. The house itself is the cheap part, and a lot of people will own that outright, but pay a bunch in rent on the lot.

Youth Decay posted:How does a Victorian with city "Landmark" preservation status get turned into a dumb escape house place? And how much would it cost to get the place turned back into something decent? The only mistake here is not going hard on the Victorian theming in every room. Why would you not make it a Sherlock/Agatha Christie mystery house? Total lack of imagination on the owners' part; no wonder the escape business failed.

falz posted:Whoops didnt realize old thread dead, new thread here. Id guess later 60s? It's got kind of an mod shape in the body, but the shades are verging on some Victorian revival poo poo. The transition from the atomic modernism of the 50s' to the vintage 70s involved a lot of staple midcentury mod lamps getting weirdly ornate shades.
