Can I paint my ceramic tile?

This will be the shortest answer I have givin the answer is NO. No matter how hard you clean, and in the final preparation of the paint falls off. You could use some types of paint that will adhere to best a few years but not the colors you want and cleaning will not be easy at all. Even oil-based paints of not sit on the floor. Soory to say this, but I have seen many people try this and nothing works. I've been in the field for over 20yrs and if there is something out there that the work I have no idea what it is, if it was to last only 1 or 2 years thats 1 thing, but ultimately not worth the time or effort Sorry There is 1 thing I would add this, the answer is if you try to do it yourself, there Companys around the tiles resurface / tubs etc can now do this for you, but by no means like the real thing. (As you do this almost most of my life that I want to fix something that will last forever or close to it. And even with a primer that will not last long time and even, I suppose it depends on if you just want the floor to look good for a few years or so,

Description

The Universe talavera tile can be a perfect complement to decorate a bathroom shower wall, a kitchen backsplash, a fireplace, a stairway, or any other project you have in mind. Each of our Mexican talavera tile is unique and handcrafted. The hand made nature gives it a warm and rustic finish.

Then the tile is glazed and decorated by hand, and fired once again to give it its final and lively finish. Its physical characteristics make Mexican tiles particularly attractive and distinctive.
