How To Paint Ceramic Tiles

Have You Considered Painting Your Bathroom Ceramic Tile?

Are you looking for a way to give your bathroom a whole new look? If so, you might be surprised at just how easy it is to do. In fact, when it comes to bathroom remodeling, small changes can make a big difference in how your bathroom looks.

One trick to give your bathroom a mini facelift is to paint the ceramic tile.

Believe it or not, painting bathroom ceramic tile is a relatively simple process. In addition, you don't have to spend a lot of money to get the job done. In fact, you will only need the following supplies:

• 220-grit sandpaper
• Acrylic semi-gloss interior paint
• Artist brush
• Heavy-duty cleaner
• Heavy-duty rubber gloves
• Lint-free, low nap paint roller
• Paint brush
• Painter's tape
• Rags
• Scrubber
• Sponge
• Tinted acrylic paint primer
• Urethane

Once you have gathered these supplies, painting bathroom ceramic tileis really quite simple.

You should not, however, paint the tile in an area that receives a heavy amount of foot traffic, as shoes and dirt will wear off the paint prematurely. In addition, you should not paint the tile in the area near your bathtub or shower, because the constant moisture may cause the paint to peel.

It is also important to note that it will take about two weeks for the paint to completely dry and cure, so you will need to find a way to work around the tile during this time period if you want the paint to last.

Some additional tips to keep in mind when painting bathroom ceramic tile include…

• Proper preparation is vital to long-lasting results, so be sure to thoroughly clean, sand, dust and dry the tile before painting it.

• Selecting top quality acrylic semi-gloss primer and paint will make the project easier to complete while also yielding longer lasting results.

• The primer and paint should be applied in several thin layers, rather than one thick layer.

• Using a small artist brush to paint the grout will yield the best results.

Remember, when it comes to bathroom remodeling, small changes can go a long way toward creating a whole new look. If you are ready for a tile change, but don't want to spend the money or time needed to replace the tile completely, consider painting the tile to get a whole new look!
