Hi,
dont know if this is the right forum..but here goes.
I have hideously out of place ceramic tile in my kitchen. I dont want to remove it, so I was thinking of painting over it. I'm not sure if I'm gonna do a solid color , or stencil over it. Either way, is it possible to just paint over tile? Is there a special type of paint I need, or a special preperation method? Thank you-Victoria |

I just painted some ceramic ornaments this year. That would be the same finish as your tile I would imagine. What I did was to:
1- wash them in vinegar water and dried good.
2-sprayed them with Krylon Matte finish 1311, and them painted with Americana acrylic paint.
3-When finished painting, I sprayed again with the same Kyrlon 1311. They look great! I felt the paint needed something to adhere to, that's why I sprayed them. Now, I believe I would buy an extra tile of some kind to practice on(if you don't have an extra one. I would try painting one to see how it does, and go from there. Also, I do believe they have acrylic paint for glass. You could probably use that paint too. In my area, acrylic paint for glass costs a great deal more. I'd do samples first. Good luck! |

| There is a perm-enamel paint by Delta, that air cures. Folk Art also makes a glass paint as well that I think air cures. |
