Laminating and sanding.

For the past week I finished re-laminating the partition panels, did some more cleaning of interior parts and started sanding the ABS plastic in the bath. The sink, shower base, shower seat and toilet base are all yellow, from years of sun exposure I assume.
I was going to paint all of these parts and sanded a bit on the sink to see how much work the prep was going to be, found that it didn't take much to get past the yellowing.
I think it would take just as much work to prep and paint these parts as it will be to sand a polish, I am going to sand the parts with 320, 800 then 1200 grit and then polish so I don't have to worry about finding the right paint for ABS plastic, also will not have to worry about paint pealing.


Took about 4 hours to get the toilet base to it's present condition with 320 grit wet paper.


Wall panel sanded with 80 grit ready for new laminate:
