Rust-Oleum Blue Water-Resistant Bathroom Tile Paint in Satin Finish - Coastal Blue 750ml

Having read many reviews online about painting tiles and it not holding up in many circumstances I can safely say that it has stood up to the wear and tear of two toddlers bath time for 5 or so months. My biggest concern was the splash areas on each side of the bath where water could be left standing for a day or longer. Water has been left standing on the paint for a day or so (maybe longer) after which I have wiped it dry. The paint appears to start have started bubbling where the water was but the next day it’s back to normal and looks good. Like some voodoo magic. I assumed it would require a repaint after 6-12 months where it gets standing water but I am now thinking it will get a few years. Toothpaste on the wall for a day or so…wipes off easily. I can’t talk to how it would take foot traffic etc but for kitchen tiles, bathroom tiles and anywhere there is splashing/ moisture I would recommend the paint. Instructions were followed precisely and a few days left for curing.

I did lots of research and searching to find a good paint for my bathroom revamp. I wanted to go darker than I had previously to aid in a peaceful atmosphere. This paint held the qualities I was looking for in theory, but it didn't meet my expectations exactly. Pros: - The sheen of the paint is lovely. - The durability of the paint once fully dry is great. - The colour is even. - The product specifications were accurate for the area I needed to cover. - Drips and spills that fell on the bath were easily removed ( even once the paint had firmed). Cons: - The consistency of the paint (with activator thoroughly mixed in and tiles fully sugarsoap washed), left a lot to be desired - it is very thin, drips easily, and required several coats for an even cover. - Despite full preparation for this, as instructed, the paint refused to stick to the corner joining tiles (3rd photograph). - The colour of the paint didn't appear to match the colour I thought I was purchasing. Overall, though, I am happy with the look, the finish of the paint, and the durability of it.

Couldn’t be happier with my tiles, they look like they’re meant to be that colour. I’ve seen lots of painted tiles that are obvious they are painted and tacky looking, but this tile paint is amazing! I put it on with a brush round the lines between tiles and then a roller.
