My painted floor tiles have lasted 4 years of daily wear and still look like new!
Now I’m not recommending doing this. It was absolutely awful. I worked on it every evening for several hours and it literally took me weeks to finish. About halfway through to seriously considered getting a contractor to come in, rip out the tile, and install new. And in hindsight I kind of wish I did because I feel like the black and white and the pattern both already look dated. BUT! It has held up beautifully. I didn’t use paint made for tile. I used Bulls Eye 123 primer, then painted it white with a Rustoleum Step 1 floor coating paint, then did the black stenciling with that same brand of paint, then did like 3-4 layers of water based poly coating. I clean it just like my wood floors — vacuum often with a Dyson, my robo mop mops it maybe once a week, and I use a Bona mop and cleaner to deep clean it every month or two. Honestly it takes a good beating. Nothing has peeled or changed at all. I’ll be selling my condo soon so it’ll be interesting to see what prospective buyers have to say lol. submitted by /u/bing_bang_bum [link] [comments]
