Painted tiles in the shower
The tiles in my shower were bland and moldy, an awesome duo. After some research, I decided to paint them using tile restoration by Rust-oleum. Before beginning, I watched a tutorial on their website, several times. The kit came with everything I needed. My only complaint is that I had to purchase two complete kits even though I only used a small bit of the second one. Kinda pricey at $120 a kit. I used Rust-oleum hammered finish in brown for the shower doors. The only thing left is to put the handles back onto the doors. I also plan to change out the shower head and faucet. Any suggestions on wall color? Can't do anything about the green carpet yet, so it's staying.
Before picture-obviously.

I have the color Latte on our bathroom walls and its such a nice shade. It's a Sherwin Williams color but I got it color matched at Home Depot because I like their paint better. Will Rust-oleum tile restoration hold up under the wear and tear and cleaning of a shower? And did you use the same thing on the doors? We have a harvest gold shower enclosure and would love to change the color.

I don't know yet if the tiles will hold up but I can't imagine why they wouldn't. They should be OK as long as I don't use abrasive cleaners. I used another product from Rustoleum for the shower enclosure called Hammered Steel in brown. Several years ago I used this paint on a rod iron railing and it's held up very well in all types of weather. I also painted the shower head and faucet in the shower and plan to paint all the other hardware with it too. I will take a look at the paint color you mentioned, thanks for the suggestion.
