No, this paint is designed to be applied directly to the tiles without a primer, saving you time and effort.
How do I clean the painted tiles?
Clean the painted tiles with mild soap and water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads to prevent damage to the finish.
Can I use this paint in a shower?
Yes, but ensure the area is well-ventilated and the surface is properly sealed. For best results, avoid direct and constant water exposure.
How long does it take for the paint to dry?
The paint dries quickly, but refer to the product label for specific drying times. Typically, it is dry to the touch in a few hours, but allow adequate time for it to fully cure.
What kind of tiles can I use this paint on?
It is suitable for glass, ceramic, and stone tiles. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
How many coats of paint are needed?

Can I use the tester sachets to get an accurate representation of the color?
Yes, the tester sachets contain a small amount of the actual paint, providing an accurate representation of the color and adhesion at home. This allows you to test the color before committing to the full tin.
Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering to the tiles
Ensure the tiles are clean, degreased, and lightly sanded before application. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Paint is peeling or flaking
Check if the surface was properly prepared. Ensure the paint is applied in thin, even coats and allowed to dry completely.
Uneven finish or brush marks
Use a high-quality brush or roller. Apply the paint in even strokes and avoid over-brushing or over-rolling. Allow the paint to self-level.
Color not as expected
Test the color with a tester sachet before painting the entire surface. Ensure the paint is mixed thoroughly before application.
Water damage after application
Ensure the surface is completely dry before exposing it to water. If water damage occurs, clean the area and touch it up.
