Painting Over Granite Tiles

Nothing spoils the effect of a beautiful fireplace like an outdated surround.

Painting over granite tiles. Let it cure for 24. Granite is one example of a surround material that can grow tiresome over time. If you are painting marble tile on a fireplace you do not need to use a roller extension pole. I recommend to anyone who is thinking of painting a granite surface to start with a small project in the home such as a granite fireplace surround and use an oil based paint.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Soap can interfere with primer adhesion. Actually i think you could paint over any unattractive countertops and make them fit your taste. After all you can paint an ugly wall or an outdated door why not paint some floor tiles.

So yes you can paint over granite countertops and make them a thing of beauty. I do not recommend starting out with kitchen or bathroom countertops those are big projects and you want to see how the surface will wear with different uses. Be sure to rinse the marble tile thoroughly. Prime and paint any areas inaccessible to the roller using a 2 to 3 inch oil based paintbrush.

When replacing floor tiles is so costly time consuming and messy a coat of paint seems like the obvious budget friendly alternative but this seemingly obvious diy solution isn t the fix all you d hope for. Painting tile floors seems like a common sense fix to an ugly tile problem. Want to see how i painted floor tile. After each tile i would run my brush over lightly to remove any brush strokes.

I put a thick amount onto the grout lines then feathered them out i would paint the entire square of grout lines then painted the tile itself. I only painted on one coat of primer. I used my foam paint brush and started out painting the grout. Check out this post.
