Scrub really well with TSP cleaner. Then use latex enamel - shiny paint is easier to scrub.
Mine is painted with a gloss paint. Easy to wipe down and clean.
Prep and clean your backsplash carefully before painting.
You will need a paint that can be washed. https://sheldonandsons.com/whats-the-best-sheen-of-paint-for-washability/
Hi Sarge, I would recommend either using enamel or a semi-gloss/gloss interior paint. If you choose to use matte water-based paint you will need to seal your tiles after painting so they are durable and able to be cleaned. Apply two coats of paint for extra coverage and durability, allowing ample time between coats to dry fully
Any quality paint can be used. Just prep carefully.
