    No, it didn't work for me, I would never have it done again, ( an unethical and unprofessional company did it ) for some reason the surface was not prepped correctly, it is now cracking, I am still trying to figure out the best solution for this issue. If you come up with one please post it for me.

      Thanks for sharing your experience, even though it was not positive. Painting tiles seems to be a fad right now, and I agree that it often is not the 'correct fix' but somehow many people seem to feel that it is a 'magic wand solution'. It is important that the msg be shared that this is not always the realistic result.

    The grouting is wearing thin, is disintegrating, or has worn out completely. From this picture, I do not see any major chips or gouges in the tiles themselves. They appear to be in relatively good condition compared with the state of the grouting. If the grouting were to be properly redone and resealed, the vanity would look renewed. Doing this would extend the life of your counter top considerably, reduce water seepage, and would help to prevent more serious problems down the road.

    I saw this done on TV. I did it myself some years ago but I didn't do it properly. Now 30 years later there are special paints you can use.

    Hi there, yes you can. It's best to use paint made specifically for tiles, which most hardware store should sell. Prep the tiles really well before painting. Here’s a great video that will show you how to paint bathroom tiles.- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYkCuIAJca8&t=114s
