    I have seen this type of paint system, Rustoleum, for bathrooms, but they do not recommend it for the inside of showers where there is constant wetness and harsh cleaning.. do some thorough research in the home improvement stores to see if this can be done with a lasting finish over time.

    There are special paints for tile and bathtub surfaces. Check your local home center to see what options are available and how to use them properly. Be sure to follow the directions exactly to prevent peeling, etc.

    You need to use 2-part epoxy paint, and Klass Kote is the best and has colors and will do custom colors. 90% of the job is in doing the prep work correctly.

    My friend painted a picture on the tiles in her shower. She used acrylic paint with an outdoor clear varnish over it. She let the acrylic dry for about a week before the clear varnish and then let the varnish dry for another week.

    Yes you can purchase paint specifically for this purpose with your local paint store or home improvement store. Remember you will have to clean the tile very well to get rid of soap or tile scum off

    Before you settle on blue, consider white. Painting it blue will eliminate the suggestion of grout lines and make it obvious that it is painted. White tile with white grout lines looks less painted. Use the blue somewhere else in the room.

    You can paint them. Painting tile requires the use of special epoxy paints or tile paints. This paint is made to stick to tile. It is extremely durable and washable. Use a roller to apply paint evenly to the tile.
