I have 50's-60's multi color blue mosaic ceramic tile floor in my bathroom that I'd like to paint solid white. I'd prefer to work with latex if possible. I'd like how to advice for the best results. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

 

dont do it
no latex will stick
the only way to do it is with a 2 component urethane epoxy
can u use peel and stick tile?
whatever u do it will always scuff
sry

 

thanks for your advice, i certainly don't want to have it look like a bad paint job.
How would self stick tile adhere? would some type of base floor have to go on top of the tile?

 

how big are the tiles?
i put self stick over 70,s brown tiles in an old place i lived in,
i washed the floor with tsp rinsed and applied tiles.
they stuck very well-what i did as extra precaution i rubbed dap at all seams so water would not get under tiles.
the only drawback was that after a few months i could see small lines where the old grout lines were underneath but it still looked pretty good.
i was renting so it was good for me.
if you have the money, time and know how the proper way to go would be a 3/8" plywood over top-quite a bit of work though
hope this gives some ideas

 

You can prime the cleaned (with TSP) tile with a high adhesion acrylic such as Moore's Fresh Start or CIL Problem Solver and paint with their latex floor paints. Or you can prime with a quality oil primer and paint with oil floor paint. The caution being that the coating may only last a couple of years, and results will always vary from substrate to individual application. The hardness of the ceramic differs from the topcoats, so the flex between the two surfaces is different and you could experience cracking or peeling of the finish. Or, it might be just fine. Hard to say. The floor there might be considered 'low traffic' though...not like a hallway or vestibule, so it may last longer. The option is there though. Give it some thought first.
