  • Same as you would paint any other area of your home. Wash with TSP, let dry thoroughly, then use a good primer. Then paint. I would choose a satin or semi gloss finish to be easy to wipe down when needed.

    You’re best option is to hire a professional painter.


    Let’s face it, mist of us probably never colored within the lines of our coloring books in the third grade.

      Hometalk may not be what yr looking for. There are other sites if you would like to hire people. I would recommend getting references if that's the way you choose to go sir. Enjoy your day.

    What is on the backsplash now? Naomie is correct for smooth walls. For ceramic you would need a tile paint kit. For laminate just follow Naomie's suggestion.

    I can't afford tile right now. I painted first then I went to Walmart n found some adhesive faux tile, (back of the store) that had similar colors to my paint. It was super easy to measure n cut w/household scissors n the back is really sticky n holds great...be careful to make sure size correctly so you put it on once...not easy to move. Just an idea...
