• Prep your kitchen. You may be eager to get started, but prepping your space is crucial for a successful makeover. Make sure you cover all the spaces that paint might accidentally splash onto to ensure your counters, drawers, cabinets, etc. stay protected. In addition to that, clean the tile you wish to paint for the best results possible.
• Repair damaged tiles if applicable. Chances are that if you are considering painting your tile backsplash, it’s due to damaged or outdated tiles, which might warrant repairs before painting.
• Sand the tile. Sand down the tile with 220-grit sandpaper to smooth out excess caulk from repairs and removes the existing tile glaze so that the paint sticks to the tile.
• Apply primer. Primer is key to covering imperfections in the tile that may have been patched or repaired, as well as blocking or concealing stains that could affect your paint job. It also helps create a uniform surface that the paint sticks to evenly.
• Apply epoxy paint in your choice of color! The fun and creative part is the final step to painting your kitchen’s backsplash. Be sure that you use tile-specific paint that can withstand the wear and tear of your daily kitchen duties, as well as making the tile a lot easier to clean when it gets dirty.
