We want to paint the ceramic tile floor in the powder room (where there is very little traffic).
i tested my paint skills on the tile under the fridge with some left over melamine paint that i used to paint our kitchen cabinets. Using a few other colors, I was able to do some really cool marble effects and made our ugly shiny white tile look like really amazing.

Thanks very much!

As long as you’re careful not to scratch the paint or leave standing water, it should be okay. Be sure to urethane the paint afterwards. The urethane will help to protect the paint finish.
