Thanks Bill, you show us a lot of things no one even thinks about. Highly informative and of great value. I really liked your comparison across 4 different techniques.
@@billshowto would you consider a Part 2 incorporating a "Drop Test"? By that I mean dropping a range of different household items on the tiles to see if the paint chips (examples could include: car keys, coins etc).
You're an absolute legend for taking the time to do this test for us to find out the answer! I've been thinking of using these paints but have wondered if they actually looked good when done by a newb and also how long it'll last. Thanks again 👍🏻
great video, 9 times out of 10 you will be painting wall tiles not the floor ones, so pretty save to paint and wipe clean i would say. one thing i would also test is splashing hot water or oil on them as in the splash back area over the cooker, and see if the paint holds up ;)
Great video Bill as always- Years ago I rented a house that had the kitchen benchtop and cupboards painted (unsure of the brand that was used) I have to say it stood up really well. There were marks on the benchtop where previous tenant had scratched the benchtop but - as your video shows, using a soft cloth and mild pressure for the upkeep should be all thats really needed to maintain the painted surface. The painted cupboards were very tough and the surface stayed pristine.( I suspect it had a clear coat over the top as it was super glossy) the benchtop was in a satin finish.? Its definately a budget friendly option to revitilse a kitchen space - but one I have yet to try for myself- but definately considering it for the cabinets in my current kitchen. Keep up with the video's- they are definately very helpful for us DIY'ers😉 Thanks again for clear advice and sharing your experiences
Thanks for the demo. Very helpful. Definitely feasible for wall tiles, but not so much for floor tiles. I think ordinary foot traffic would wear away the paint over time, especially if you have dogs or cats with any length of nails or claws.
Did tiles on a bathroom floor a few years ago now. Gotta apply it methodically and promptly before it cures but it is still holding up well. Rolled it on, it came up well, not perfect as I was a little slower toward the end, working in corners. Small tiles 50c coin size. Prepped and scraped grout lightly to bare the surface too. Did in shower cubicle too, lasting well. Have not used scourers to clean the surface though. Still happy with it. Applied Grey on white tiles. Good coverage.
Awesome job Bill!!! Have been thinking about painting some tiles but was never sure if it would be worth it, now I might actually give it a crack. Could you do this on wooden surfaces also?
If it’s just a wooden surface I would use a suitable paint rather than using this product as it’s more designed for tiles and laminated surfaces. Will also be much cheaper👍👍👍
Wow that last one held up better than I would have expected from a painted surface. If you’re doing the walls, you’re set… just make sure your clear coat game is good before you start.
I've just used this product on some cupboard doors, looks good but dont know how well it will hold up. How long did you leave the Clear Coat to cure? I think Dulux recommend 7-10 days to reach maximum hardness
Would this be a case of _tile and error?_ 🤦♂ That was a bit more durable than I thought it would be. Surprising that. I can see this being used to "correct" an unpleasant tile colour when selling a house. Finish looks a million dollars when brand new eh. 😁 *Thanks* Bill. 👍
Hi Bill, I do acrylic paintings on palm fronds. People are wanting to buy them, I want to use a top clear coat to protect the paint. I was wondering if you had any knowledge/advice you could share as to what to use? I dont want to try epoxy resins, expensive & the curve of the fronds would make it difficult, someone suggested polyurethane. Any advice from you or your subscribers is appreciated, cheers.

Glad you enjoyed it. Now hopefully people will have more information before thwy make yhw decision 👍👍👍

Great video idea Bill. You keep coming out with bangers. Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it 👍👍👍
Perfect timing Bill. Havent even watched but I want to comment!
I have been researching this last few weeks and cant wait to see what your test says
👍👍👍

Thank you for bringing the answers 👊 Billy your videos are so awesome and we appreciate you ♥️🙏
👍👍👍
Thank you Bill! You are an absolute godsend for anyone who wants to give DIY a go. Love your videos I have learnt so much, thank you

Lol I thought of testing oils and soaps after damaging the painted tiles. Cleaning with a damp rag is the best option👍
Great video Bill as always-

Thanks Bill, I have always wondered (doubted) if you can paint tiles successfully 😊
nice work Bill! love your work

Thanks for taking the time to do this comparison. Based on your video Bill, looks like this product is better suited to wall rather than floor tiles?
Proper test 👌 nice one 👍
Very interesting 👍
👍👍👍
Well explained test cheers 🍻

DIY GOAT!!! Thanks Bill!!
cheers Bill - very interesting.
In interested in painting or bathroom floor tiles, in terms of slip resistance, is there a difference between them?
Would this be a case of _tile and error?_ 🤦♂

So as long as you're not going to walk on or use your floor, it's all good 😂
