Painted tiles in bathroom is a great alternative to spending a lot of money changing them. Discolored or ugly tiles in your shower or a table can be fixed using epoxy, latex or oil paint. If you are thinking of painting your tile, determine the wear and humidity before choosing paint. Spray paints, enamels and epoxies are unsuitable for tiles because they flake easily. However, the acrylic paint applied to a clean and primed wall works well for a professional finish. In addition to painting, you only need a few more things to make a quick makeover in the bathroom.
Instructions :
- Place the leaves to gather dust around the work area to gather everyone who may be generated when sanding.
- Clean the tile. Use abrasive sponge and wash and remove all traces of soap cleaner. This will help get rid of shine. Continues to clean any dirty crack with the nail brush and bleach. Rinse the wall with warm water to remove the cleaner and let it dry.
- Remove any remaining gloss tile with the orbital sander. This step is the most important and defines the quality and duration of your work. If left on tile gloss paint, you may peel it off in a week.
- Clean dust from the tile and apply the primer. Make sure it is oil based and highly adherent. These are best to block stains and provide a more adhesive to the primer. Apply two coats of primer allowing drying between them.
- Sand the layer lightly to remove surface defects. Clean the dust with a damp cloth.
- Tile paint with oil paint using a brush. Apply two or three thin coats of bright paint on tiles allowing drying between an application and the next. The last layer should be allowed drying for two to three days.
- Finish the job by applying two coats of urethane using a natural bristle brush.
- Let the urethane dry according to manufacturer’s instructions. If you are in a shower it will be best to wait a day or two before the piece is wet.
