How to do Tile Painting?

I was planning to get my kitchen renovated, but I didn’t have the budget for that. I called my sister to ask her for a few ideas. She told me that I could paint the kitchen tiles. I asked her how do you paint tile floors. She said painting the floor wouldn’t do any good as it would just wear off. She suggested painting the wall tiles.

How do you Paint Wall Tiles?

Here are the steps she asked me to follow to paint the tiles. 

• The first step was to clean the tiles using a scrub and then wash them with hot soapy water, and then dry them with a cloth.

• Next, she suggested me to cover up all the areas where I don’t want to paint with old cloth or newspaper and secure them with painter's tape. 

• Following that, I had to pour some paint into the painter's tray and dip a paint roller in it. 

• Now, I had to use that to paint the wall tiles from top to bottom. She also suggested me to use a paintbrush to paint along the grout lines. 

And that’s how to do tile painting. I hope these steps will be of help to you.
