The bathroom on the main floor of the house has all of the original fixtures in it, which I really love. The tub is an amazing (super deep) pedestal tub! The sink has some rust though, and I’m wondering if there’s a way to get rid of it.

See the rust around the drain and the area where the plug rests? I tried CLR (“Calcium, Lime, Rust”), but it didn’t do much. Can I seal it and paint over it with some sort of enamel? Brandon thought we should just touch it up with some white paint, but I think the rust would just come right back.
Any suggestions?
