![]() ![]() The views and opinions expressed in this post are completely based on my own experience.Well, there must be loads of ugly bathtubs out there □, because my post yesterday on “ How To Paint A Bathtub” really struck a chord with a lot of you! And of course, many of you had some follow up questions about the product, the process, the supplies, and much more. RUST OLEUM TUB AND TILE FREEIf you have anymore questions regarding this product, feel free to contact me or leave a comment below!ĭisclosure: I received samples of Rust-Oleum’s Tile Transformations (Solid Colour Textured Finish) Kit for review purposes only. It just goes to show you that you can work with what you got in order to spruce things up on a friendly budget. This bathroom transformation has to be one of my favourites. Overall I was quite please with this product. I went back to get the tray and some paint had fallen into our tub. I instantly tried to wash it. Of course, I just made it worst and now it permanently looks like this. After a couple minutes, I realized what I did. Out of sheer habit, I went to throw our painting tray in our laundry tub for washing. In the beginning of this post, I told you to make sure you throw everything out after use. I just want to share my stupid mistake so this does not happen to you. I also had to darken the image a bit just to show you the outline. I can tell you I’m quite pleased with the results! In fact, it took me a couple of minutes just to locate one of these flowers to take a photograph. I was a little worried how these raised flowers would look after the paint job. So if your working in a tight space where shadows maybe lurking around, bring in the extra lighting! If we had the extra lighting, we would have caught this but in our current lighting conditions it was literally undetectable. ![]() We had a little unevenness towards the bottom of our shower stall. I guess working in a tight space, we didn’t realize the shadows starting to creep in especially when we got to the bottom. We inspected everything twice to make sure we had good coverage and it looked perfect. We started painting around mid afternoon when the sun was shining through the window, by the time we finished painting, the sun was no longer gleaming in. ![]() “if lighting is dim, bring in extra light source” One of the very first things listed on the instruction sheet is about lighting, it says: When everything is all said and done, inspect for any drips, imperfections, uneven texture before you call it a day. However, this may be the very reason why our roller started breaking apart at the very end. Since you have to move fairly quickly with this paint, the hubby just used the edge of the roller to cut the corners in the shower. This process seemed to work okay for the bathtub but as you can see two people in our tiny shower stall was not happening. (I obviously called dibs on the cutting and the hubby was left with the rolling.) The instructions suggest that one person uses the synthetic paint brush to cut the outer edges and corners, while the other partner follows behind with the roller for vertical surfaces. Be prepared for some harsh smelling fumes. RUST OLEUM TUB AND TILE ACTIVATORPut your protective mask on and mix the two parts of paint together (pour Texture Bond Coat A Activator into Textured Bond Coat B Base). Cover your tub or shower areas with a drop cloth. ![]() Make sure you protect your fixtures or any areas that meet the wall. This paint kind of reminds me of a krazy glue on steroids, it is super duper adherent and will not come off easy after it dries. Tape off the areas that you want to protect. Use the enclosed cleaner to scrub the entire surface you want to paint and make sure you do a really good job. Just an FYI, there are two different types of Rust-Oleum tile transformation finishes: the solid colour texture finish (the one I used here) and the natural stone finish.įollow the instructions correctly and I promise you that you will love staring at your newly painted tiles. Now I’m not going to lie, at first I had some hesitation to tile paint.īut after a little online research and many positive reviews (gotta love the internet), I decided to give it a try with Rust-Oleum Tile Tranformations – Solid Colour Textured Finish. So I opted for an easier solution, tile paint! And what a transformation it ended up being! I felt like it was a waste of time and money to tear down perfectly good tile due to its dated colour. The pink tiles around the tub and the shower stall where left as is. Or how this shower stall transformed to that?ĭuring last week’s BIG bathroom reveal, a lot of you were surprised to learn that bathroom tiles can actually be painted!Īs you may recall from my One Room Challenge, the only area I replaced the tile was on the bathroom floor. ![]()
