The porcelain has corroded (worn away) in my sink bowl and I am considering
using a 2-part epoxy paint from HD to fix this problem. I'm only planning on
doing the inside of the bowl and try to blend it in with the surrounding
area. Does anyone have any experience doing this or other
suggestions/thoughts? Thanks...

Unless it is an antique or a 'one of a kind', I would replace it vice
trying to fix it. I don't think you will be able to make it look much
better than it is now with paint.

Yes, that will work. It will look like crap, but it will work.

If there is something very special about it, I would have it
professionally done. Most professional refinishers do a good job. It will
not be as good or as durable as the original, but it will be good. DIY is
usually poor. Fixing a single chip might be OK, but the whole thing is
something else again.

Other than that I would replace it. In fact I have done that with two
of the four sinks in my home already. The others will be replaced as they
wear. I go solid porcelain sinks for replacement and they are going great.
They cost a little more, but well worth it.

Call a PRO to refinish it and it will look like new. Prep is the hard
part of the job. Cheap=Cheap
