Robin Dowden on Aug 30, 2014I have seen paints out in stores that say you can paint your tiles, floor tiles, and even bathtuba. I have not done it yet but am planning on doing it soon.Helpful Reply

Darla on Aug 31, 2014You can get paint that is made for tiles, sinks and bathtubs at a big-box building supply store. Regular paint just won't do it.Helpful Reply

Joan Gondeck on Aug 31, 2014I had my tiles and tub painted but but by professionals. It is wonderful but you probably won't want to spend this much on a rental. The company that resurfaced both my tubs was Miracle Method. It is available all over the country.Helpful Reply

Kimberly Svec on Aug 31, 2014I have painted bath wall tiles using specialty paints made by Rustoliem and another brand. I don't recall the name of second brand (it was not a brand you don't see often but was sold at Home Depot). Both worked very well. The Rustoliem brand was thicker. You need to follow all directions. The other brand was much thinner but was self leveling. I painted harvest gold and avocado green tiles white and after 2 coats came out beautiful. The Rustoliem brand of tile paint I used one of my showers and I painted harvest gold tile blue. Used one application of the product and it came out very well also. It has been 2 years and no issues. I would not use any other paint on tile unless it was made for tile.Helpful Reply

Myrt on Aug 31, 2014I painted the tile on both of my bathrooms. I used oil based paint - 6 light coats with dry time in between, Then I sealed with polyurethane - also 6 light coats with dry time in between. I did not walk on finished floor for about 2 weeks so it could cure. The bathrooms both had tile floor, in shower & 1/2 way up walls. Time consuming but well worth it. Of course, I did 1 bathroom at a time. :)Helpful Reply
