When painting tile the glaze should be fully removed/sanded or scuffed, then 2 coats of moisture resistant primer and the top color coat should be an epoxy product as it offers both , a high degree of moisture resistance and a strong, almost chip proof finish.

[@girlnextdoor7012]

That's great, can you sand the tiles with the a light grid paper &sander or what do you suggestion? Which epoxy should do u recommend? Thanks 😊

I'm preparing to try this myself! A couple of questions...1) I'm doing this in a one bathroom house so it will get a LOT of use. Do you feel that using some sort of sealant would protect the finish more? 2) I'm considering using a stencil on the shower tiles as well, would you use an oil based enamel for that 2nd color paint as well?

Awesome! I desperately need to paint my peachy colored shower tile ;-). My main concern is how it's held up over time as I'm not sure how this paint holds up with humidity, have you had any peeling, blistering or cracks? Also, did you feel there would be any benefit in sanding the tile before priming it? Thanks so much for this video!!

Hi. Thanks for your work on this. I note that Behr's product description states a caution "not for use on horizontal surfaces." Do you have any suggestions for roller type or other techniques to mitigate dripping (I assume is their reason for the caution)? Thanks again!

[@a_m_b_o]

Hi! I used a high density foam roller and did thin, light coats. I also primed which I think makes a big difference for adherence! We had no pretty drips 👍🏻

When painting a tile floor using the primer that you recommend, can you also use the oil base enamel on the floor as well?

[@a_m_b_o]

I don’t see why not but I haven’t tried it! I’d used the patio paint before and loved it, that’s why I used it here 👍🏻

Great video thanks, how has the paint hold up so far? Has it chipped or faded in the shower so far? Thanks a lot

[@a_m_b_o]

None! This is a guest bathroom though so it isn’t used daily

[@BrandedbyJesus]

How long did you wait before you used the shower?? This oil based paint says to wait 30 days to cure for concrete and masonry - not sure what tile is considered, but I have guests coming in 2 weeks. 😕 I'm hoping a fan will help mine cure faster.

[@phlol]

I'm also considering doing this. Since you did this already a few months ago I was wondering if you'd recommend it and if the color still looks good and even?

Yep! Everything is holding up! Though it *is* a guest bathroom and not used everyday!

[@amusementparkcarnivalvarie9268]

I'm concerned about any painted tile over time. For all the work and expense, you might have to redo in a couple of years. Can you scrub it clean? I'd love to find more videos showing how this holds up down the road.

[@williamprezioso2742]

This is a huge help! Which Behr white did you use? I'm ready to get started! 😃 Also, what did you use to pre-clean the tile?

Hi!! We used a bleach solution for the cleaning. I tried to find the color and can't - I'm so sorry!

[@danislifeoffun5565]

Are you able to clean it in the same way as before? Shower cleaning products?

[@AFXGaming]

I'd assume so since the paint says it resists household cleaning products

[@a_m_b_o]

I use Method Shower cleaner and a softer scrubber: rstyle.me/+PYOb_brZ4h7ik5a5vNCAOA

[@inginouity1]

My apartment complex painted over the original tiles before I came in 4 years ago. It is now starting to peel horribly. If I want to do what you did, I probably have to scrape off everything they used, then prime and paint, right? Can't go over the old?

[@a_m_b_o]

Definitely want to get rid of the old!! Try Goof Off or CitriStrip to help!

[@joylopez9126]

Do you recommend sanding the tiles before adding primer?

[@britegrl03]

Yes.

[@tymothyson]

Before any type of sanding, clean super well with general cleaner and then with a solvent (lacquer thinner or denatured alcohol) that won't leave a residue. There should be no loose grout, soap scum, silicone, grime, etc.

[@erinlee7670]

Why satin? Wouldn’t you want a gloss so it’s easier to clean?

[@marsan7085]

How long did you wait for primer to dry? Then paint to dry for bathroom use?

Hi! We waited overnight

Can you tell me how long you have to wait for it to dry/cure fully before usuing the shower? I want to do this on my tiles but I only have one bath and can't image not being able shower for several days 😞

That’s tough, I’d say at least 48 hours though! It depends on your climate, humidity etc. ☹️
