Throughly clean the surface to remove dirt, oil, grease, and other material that may interfere with adhesion. Wash the surface with a strong detergent, such as Tri-Sodium Phosphate or Formula 409. Then rinse the surface.
If the tile has a high gloss, lightly scuff sand with 180-220 grit sandpaper. Rinse to remove the sanding dust.
A specialty primer is needed to adhere to ceramic tile. Do Not use a regular wall primer. We recommend either Stix made by Insl-X or XIM bonding primer. Brush, roll or spray on the primer and let dry for at least 4 hours. The primer may be sanded to acheive a smooth finish.
Apply two coats of good quality paint in either a full gloss or satin sheen, waiting at least 4 hours between coats.
