hobbies and interests paintingCan you paint over stone tile backsplash?
Likewise, can stone backsplash be painted?
Rather than replacing the tiles outright, give them a completely new look by painting them. Painting a stone backsplash, for instance, is a great way to save money while updating the space. The best way to paint the tile really depends on the type of tile and where it's used.
- Paint (Behr Interior/Exterior High Gloss Enamel in white, tinted to match our new painted kitchen cabinets)
- Primer, water based for all surfaces (we used Bullseye 123 Primer by Zinsser *)
- Paintbrush *
- Paint roller (small sized) and tray *
- Cotton cloth.
Additionally, can you paint over backsplash tile?
You can paint your kitchen backsplash a solid color, use a stencil, or even create the look of faux tiles using painter's tape. If you end up not liking the color you choose, you can just paint over it! A simple, solid color can work on a kitchen backsplash, but chances are it'll feel too boring over time.
Paint
- Tape off the laminate area to be painted with 1/4 inch painter's tape.
- Use a 3 inch bristle paint brush to apply two coats of latex paint primer. Let dry for 2 hours.
- After primer has dried, apply a layer or two of the interior latex paint.
- Once paint has completely dried, remove painters tape.
