I am in the middle of repainting the bathroom. As I posted upthread, I've repaired the plastic pieces and repainted them with two-part polyurethane, and my Artistic Director decided that I have to repaint the walls before putting them back in.
I did some experiments and came to the conclusion that, with a solvent wash followed by light standing, alkyd paint will adhere. I'm using Interlux Brightside paint, a one-part urethane that is much easier to work with than the two-part "perfection" that I used on the plastic pieces.
I guess the C-10s had a plastic medicine cabinet. Mine is stapled up pieces of 1/4" ply. I reinforced it with a coat of epoxy before painting.
The other photo shows the new ABS drain plumbing, and my mods to the freshwater plumbing. The original plumbing had the copper tubing flare terminated and connected right to the faucet with a flare to 1/2" nptf adapter. Today's nylon faucet shanks don't seal so well with that setup so I'm switching to the now-standard flex lines with the braid cover. The copper lines have to be fastened to something so I added a support, and quarter-turn shutoffs for installation and service convenience.
With the old copper lines I had to shine them up with 400 grit sandpaper to get them to seal to the compression fitting on the quarter-turn shutoff.
