What Paint To Use To Prime And Paint Tiles
When you want to paint a tiled wall, using an all-in-one primer and paint is the easiest way to go.

Painting over tiles can be a mission. First, you need to scrub the tiles and grout clean, then you need to apply a suitable primer for tiles and then you need to paint. But what if there is a product that primes and paints all-in-one? Daniela and her husband took on the task of giving their dated kitchen a mini-makeover with paint and that included painting the tiled walls and kitchen cupboards. We are sharing their project below and you can see for yourself how easy it can be to paint over ugly or dated wall tiles.
As part of their home improvement, Daniela and hubby are transforming their home room by room and you can find out more about this on her facebook page. The kitchen is one of the rooms tackled and we share some of her images below that show the before and after of the kitchen makeover, including painting the tiled walls.
ABOVE and BELOW: Here are the before and after images of the kitchen makeover that involved painting over ceramic tiles.
