Product Information
Full details
The PlastiKote One Coat Tile Paint in White is designed for professional builders, tradesmen, and painters looking to quickly update or treat bathroom and kitchen tiles. Its key benefit is the fast-drying, single-coat application that provides excellent coverage and a durable, wear-resistant finish. A potential caveat is its specific formulation for tiles, meaning it may not be suitable for other surfaces.

FAQs
Can this paint be used on floor tiles?
This product is designed for wall tiles in bathrooms and kitchens. It is not specifically formulated for floor tiles and may not withstand the heavy foot traffic and abrasion associated with floor applications.
How many coats does it actually need?
The product is marketed as 'One Coat' for its excellent coverage. However, for very dark original tile colours or highly porous surfaces, a second light coat might be beneficial for a uniform finish. Always test on an inconspicuous area.
What is the coverage per can?
The coverage is approximately 1 to 1.75 square meters per can, depending on the surface texture and application technique.
How long does it take for the paint to fully cure?
While it is touch dry in 10 minutes, full curing typically takes 24-48 hours. Avoid heavy use or cleaning until the paint is fully cured to ensure maximum durability.
Can I spray this paint in a small, unventilated bathroom?
It is strongly recommended to use this product in a well-ventilated area. Open windows and doors, or use a fan to ensure good airflow during application and drying.
What is the best way to clean the painted tiles afterwards?
Clean painted tiles using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the paint finish.
Is this paint suitable for shower areas?
Yes, it is designed for bathroom tiles and offers resistance to moisture and chemicals, making it suitable for shower areas when applied correctly. Ensure good adhesion and full cure.
Troubleshooting
Uneven spray or sputtering
Ensure the nozzle is not clogged. Shake the can more vigorously and frequently during use. If still sputtering, try clearing the nozzle with a fine wire or replace the can.
Runs or drips on the surface
The paint has been applied too thickly or too close to the surface. Apply in thinner, even coats and maintain the recommended spraying distance. Remove runs with a cloth immediately and reapply.
Poor adhesion or peeling
The surface was not properly cleaned or prepared. Ensure tiles are free from grease, soap scum, and dust. Lightly abrading glossy tiles can improve adhesion. Ensure proper shaking of the can.
Paint is not covering in one coat
This can occur on heavily stained or very porous tiles, or if applied too thinly. Ensure the can is shaken sufficiently and apply a second light coat if necessary, following drying time guidelines.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free from grease, dust, and loose material. Lightly abrading non-glossy surfaces may improve adhesion.
- Shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes after the mixing ball begins to rattle.
- Test spray on a small, inconspicuous area to check compatibility and color match.
- Apply in a well-ventilated area, wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, mask).
- Hold the can upright, approximately 25-30 cm from the surface.
- Apply in light, even coats, using a steady sweeping motion. Avoid applying too heavily.
Compatibility:
- Primarily designed for use on ceramic and porcelain tiles found in bathrooms and kitchens.
- Not recommended for use on plastics, wood, metal, or other porous or absorbent surfaces without appropriate priming. Always test on a small area first.
Care:
- Clean surfaces gently with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the finish.
- For stubborn marks, use a mild detergent and wipe clean. Rinse with water and dry.
- Allow the paint to cure fully before subjecting it to heavy cleaning or wear. Refer to product data for full curing times.
