Does Painting Floor Tiles Last? One Year Review | Painted Tile Floor Update

I think this is a good test on the painted floor tile. You guys really tested it. I’m thinking it would be good for my indoor room as it has less traffic and would be kinder

Great information. Thank you.

from SHOES? not from moving furniture across it etc... it scrapes off that easily in 1 year???

So put on more topcoats? Got it.😂

If you like to strip paint later do it lol

Super helpful. I have PINK floor tile in my bathroom that I HATE! It's small, doesn't have much traffic, and I have bathroom rugs covering most of the area I step on. So this is going to be my solution! THANK YOU!!

I am considering painting a bedroom floor. I came here first to see a testimonial. One thing I already did was scrape out all of the old grout. This is important. I will prime and paint with hardener and add a clear coat. and then regrout the entire area with premium TEC power grout. There are the proper steps to do an applicationike this for it to last and look better than it did previous, imo.

I'll bet sanding it 1st, using 2-3 coats, sanding between coats and 2 coats of top coat plus a 7 day drying time would give you years of life

Actually for a workshop floor I think it’s held up great

38 years as a professional union painter, the quick answer is no painted floors to do hold up. Especially if you use the products sold in big box stores. Not mention painting tile is a bad idea to begin with. The surface needs to be properly etched if you want proper adhesion. There are products available to professionals that would work, however the total cost per square foot isn't much lower than the lifetime warrantied vinyl plank flooring you find in the big box stores. I'm a painter and would never paint any floors in my home or a customers home.

Rust-Oleum should be ashamed of theirself, sponsoring these hungry people selling a one week remedy! Can you folks actually believe this wouldn't be a costly mistake? No such thing! Imagine Uncle Hank stopping in, un-expected with his Lab with un-trimmed nails tearing your floor up in about 5 minutes because un-witting little Jessica just simply opened the front door for her favorite uncle!!!! OMG!!! Game Over!!!!!

Thank you for an honest review of what to expect from painted tile floors. I think that as I have very little choice I am going to have to paint my tile floor since the cost of materials and labor has just risen exponentially and I don't want to pay to have a small bathroom floor stripped of its white tile, new plywood, and then new tile. Thanks to Doina below for the addition of hardener to the top coat. Since I exclusively use Benjamin Moore I know I can count on them to provide me with both the paint and the hardener. Also using quart cans is a great idea so you don't add hardener to a gallon and being unable to save it for touch-ups or use in another area. Most people don't bother with a one year follow up so we are left wondering as to how long it will last. In my case I am pretty much the only one who uses that small bathroom because of its location. Thank you again.

I LOVE the original tile. Is it real Mexican clay tile?
And I’ve renovated a lot of ugly tile in the past.

Thanks. This reinforces my thoughts that it’s worse than simply living with the existing style.

I painted my ugly muddy brown floor tiles with black paint it looks horrible and chipping let it dry a full 2 weeks, there’s no reason as to why this should be happened I prepped exactly as the instructions recommended. I’m going to have to go back in and repaint the floors and do a triple coat to try and fix the problem. Going to add a large rug over it to avoid further issues.

I cannot believe you are painting over what it seems a terracotta authentic tile with a beautiful natural color! It's like going from a roll-Royce to a Toyota!

How would thos hold up on tile kitchen counter top? What if I sanded it with sand paper first? Would it hold up well?

How would this hold up in a bathroom?

that's considered lasting? I guess if it's a workshop... I appreciate you doing this and being honest. I won't be doing it because I would definitely notice those problems in the area that I'm trying to do.

Could you put a coat of polyurethane over the paint? Thank you and God bless you and your family 🙏💞✝️

How would it be in bathrooms and shower floor

I painted a small guest bathroom and got great results. It doesn't get a lot of traffic, so it was a great, inexpensive way to update the look of the floor.

I want to paint my washroom floor, but problem is that after sometime the paint is going to remove with cleaning. Please someone help me on this

"outdated " 😂
nothing is outdated unless you are a slave to fashion and trends .

What color would you pick if you had to do again?

Nice, but you should have used epoxy based coating instead of this tile paint. Especially if you knew about high traffic in this area.

If you don't mind a distressed/rustic look, even the worn painted floor isn't that bad.

Of course I can’t find Rustoleum anywhere now:(

Some kind of 2 part epoxy coating system similar to what is sometimes used over timber flooring or concrete garage floors would probably provide more surface durability and protect the painted colour underneath.

Angela: Did you have any grout to replace? I have the same pinky tile as you and I am sure it is from the early 90's. Mine even goes up the wall! I think this is the way to go. Can you do 2 coats of the top coat?

I appreciate your review but… you painted a very high use are in white

it's easier if it's shinny tiles. I hate my tiles I wish I can just replace it. It's rough and gets more dirt and stains won't get off. I have dogs and cats, they bring me mud all over.

I purchased the flooring tool that makes the tiles almost "disappear" into a wood floor plank look. It has all the nail pops marks, curvey continuous lines. To get the effect you follow the above recommendations and use the tool to add dark or light wood look striping. Definitely let the floor seal dry with several coats. allow the dry time or don't proceed as otherwise it will not be worth it. Just another way to change the look inexpensively.

Wonder if commercial garage floor paint would work better. Although might be the same stuff just re-branded.

I would like to paint my kitchen floor. Your video was very well made and informative. Thanks for Sharing

I would suggest putting down a large rug covering the high traffic areas,you can but one from Lowes, Target,or even a used one from a thrift store, Easier to replace the rough every few years than repaint the floor again !

Thank you.

This was really helpful, thank you!

My Cabinets just got replaced and now my Kitchen tiles look old fashioned out dated. How long does color last on Ceramic though?

Thank you For your honest feedback

Hi do you think this would hold up to kitchen chairs being moved in and out over this paint?

What variation of white is the wall behind you?

Thank you for this update to painting floor tiles. I believe I will do this option for my new home

the bottom of my shower is tile and is dark and ugly. Could i paint it?

Are you happy with the color you chose? Looking for a warm grey for my kitchen floor and this looks like it could be?

Hello,your videos are good,we have a tool that we want you to review,are you interested?

Thanks, good information and charming personnality. I hope I can find similar product in Europe. For a non English speaker it was challenging to follow your diction. Fortunately automatic subtitling worked well.

Thank you for your update on the painted floor. I have been thinking of painting my tile. I will do your updated ideas. Thank you👩🏻‍🦳
