I try not to change my old tiles but just want to repaint it.
Anyone have experince how long can it last?
What paint to use if it for external tiles?
please share.

u referring to roof tiles?

Normal floor tile. My mainly outdoor tiles.

Tiles won't be able to paint and the paint wont stick especially where tiles are in walking area, paint will chip off and very ugly.

Agree with Wei kee...

yeah.. i never see people painting tiles.. hehehe..
but
roof tiles yes... i've painted many house roof... LoL

I see before painting tiles but wall tiles. General look ok, but if see closely many brush line.

Ou can get the tiles paint from ACE. Not cheap and limited color. The paint is semigloss.

for wall tiles, if spray paint, will look ok...

Floor paint on cement surface does not last, what more you apply it on tile surface?

Easier to just clean the tile surface with acid.

Please dont you will regret, my father paint the flooring in the carpark green, looks so weird man...

Got...I used to watch Debbie's Painted house on TV last time, I remember that she painted tiles for kitchen. See these....but I think have to be ceramic tiles maybe

You try, let us know

Blek! I scared....

got ppl paint ceramic tiles, but on d wall..my painting man said he did paint for wall tiles before, using nippon series, there is a special paint for that, costs quite expensive, but look nice afterall. I'm planning to do it myself since only 2 walls in kitchen need to b painted, old tiles, no more budget to change all..

Hi. So finally did anyone paint their tiles?

epoxy paint might be alright

Painted some tiles in my toilet with this paint a year ago.

THAT IS EPOXY.
Written on the paint can

can show the results? thinking ofdoing the same. hpw much is a bucket of paint?

i paint my house outdoor 2cmx2cm wall tile. with weatherbond epoxy paint, clean tile and dry well, best on a sunny day, touch up on any holes with cement or plaster, apply more paint over the grout so that the paint wont chip off easily, 3 layers of paint . i skipped the sealer, though. i repaint every 3 or 4 years.

as for bigger size tile, i think you would have to remove the gloss surface by roughening it with rough sandpaper or hand sanding machine so that the paint would stick well

I painted to kerb area. The bottom part had some paint peeled off.

Bought at Ace Hardware but forgot the actual price. Not cheap but no choice because the floor tiles were replaced and the kerb area tiles were in bad shape.

So were you satisfied with the results? That means it's the yellow tiles were the results of the painting right?
Did you use a primer before that? And how long has the results lasted? Planning to do that to my bathroom and maybe kitchen
