Can I use ordinary gloss paint over ceramic tiles?

The shiny tiles?

It doesn't need to look perfect, they are at the back of a toilet at ground level so would mostly be hidden.

Anyone know?

I imagine it would be very streaky

Kendodd · 31/07/2013 14:16

Yes, that's what I thought, as I said it doesn't have to be perfect though.

Anyone tried it?

I think you can buy specialist tile paint.

I don't think it'll stick. I'm pretty sure there's a primer you can buy though.

Here, for example

Yes you can buy specialist paint, but it's just a tiny bit I need and I have some white gloss in the cupboard.

You sound keen on the idea! Give it a try. I just worry it might peel off.

If you prime it first with Bin primer (thats the brand name) then you can, if you don't prime it will scratch/flake off
