How to paint grout?

Chalk paint is soft and will probably not hold up. At home centers where they sell tile, they now have pens you can use to "paint" grout - even a different color. Or you could check on line for grout paint pens.

You can purchase paint specifically for grout. I've seen it in the larger stores but I used exterior paint with great results, then sealed.

There are grout colorants available at your local home improvement store or online. They come in various colors.

Grout paint pen applicators Any home improvement store should have them.

You can change the color of your grout but not with paint. Check with any local big hardware store such as Lowes, Home Depot or Menards and they can tell you how to do it as well as show you what to use. My son did it to his home and it turned out beautiful. Good Luck! You can paint it but paint will soon peel and pop off so it's not the best choice not to mention it's very very time consuming being down on her hands and knees with a tiny little paint brush hoping you won't get paint on your tiles in the process.

The trick is to use the right-sized brush for the grout lines. Then immediately wipe off any excess that gets on the tiles.

Buy a bottle of Grout Refresh from Lowes and follow directions. Any tile will look like new. Wonderful product!!

I tried it. It stayed on thru steam mopping over 12+ months, so, yeah, it's possible! I only did a small foyer entry area, with regular latex wall paint and a small chip brush. This area wasn't in constant use or receive much traffic. And then, I decided I no longer liked that color, so I found a spray product that removes latex paint, sprayed it on, let it sit, and scrubbed with nylon utility brush and it came off no probs! Food for thought, anyway.

The grout in the home I recently purchased wasn't sealed well and there was no amount of scrubbing that could make it look clean. I bought grout paint with sealer (available at Lowes or Home Depot) and then mixed in some acrylic paint to get the darker color I wanted. It was simple and was an inexpensive fix that made a huge difference in the look of the floors. Love the results!

There are grout stains you can use. I stained mine gray using Grout Rejuvenator by Ameri Tech. Thery have many colors to choose from. Simple to apply and if you get it on tile it wipes away. Touch up spots (usually around toilet) as needed.

There are colored sealants for grout, you get them from a tile store. Regular paint just tends to peel off the area. I found grout sealant pens at a big box diy,,,many different colors, very easy and not messy to use.

They make paint pens just for grout. I've gotten them at lowes.

I have used acrylic paint (from the craft store) watered down a bit and applied with an artists brush to change the color of my grout from dark to a lighter color. The color I used blends in better with the tile I have and makes the room look much cleaner and larger.

Hi, they make grout stain that you can get at any big box store or online. Just make sure to clean the grout well first.

Your local home improvement store will have grout colorants in several shades to choose from, but an online search could turn up more and other colors.

Home improvement stores sell grout paint. I’ve used this one on my grout and it held up well in my last house.

My grout lines were wide so I used a toothbrush to paint it on but you can use an artist’s brush for thinner lines. Wipe the excess off the tiles with a damp cloth.

You can purchase a paint formulated for grout or use exterior paint, which is what I did. Make sure you seal it once you are done to preserve the new look.

I just use interior oil based paint, semi gloss. No really shiney due to roughness of grout. No sealer needed. Been down now 8 years, no issues.

I used a paint pen I found at Home Depot. Worked like a charm.

there are several ways to accomplish this -- and it will depend on the location -- floor/countertop/wall ... and it will all eventually wear away .... https://www.hometalk.com/diy/paint/rooms/q-how-to-paint-grout-34920203

Lowe's has grout coloring. It comes in a small squirk container. I used an old toothbrush with a damp rag. I selected grout too light so darkened it and really like it now. Good luck!

I have painted grout in a kitchen using a paint pen. It turned out great. You can see it here. https://alifeunfolding.com/updating-the-kitchen-in-our-rental-property/

Hello, hope this helps you out. You can get paint specifically for grout. Use a foam brush as wide as the grout, work in small sections at a time with small amounts of paint. Apply the grout paint with long strokes. Paint one coat over the whole surface and clean as you go. Let dry completely, according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

Buy a kit from DIY store!

There is a product called Mapei grout refresh that comes in several colors. It also has a build in sealer. It is tedious to do, but I have refreshed both my bathrooms several years ago and they still look brand spanking new.
