Is it possible to paint these type of tiles ? They are a dark brown
colour.
Has anyone had good results doing this. What type of paint did they
use and what prep is needed ?

Thnx for any help .

I know you can paint them because a friend has had them done recently.

No idea what paint was used, but I assume it is much the same as painting
brick or concrete - any external wall paint.

Don't get a colour that is too bright or they look like ****.
Try a small area first.
You will need to power wash and bleach to get rid of the algea.
You mat=y find that the power wash makes them look a lot better
without painting.

Just a thought, and I haven't tried this, but would it be worth painting
the tiles individually in slightly different colours so that they do not
look quite so much as if someone has painted the whole lot.

Something like: paint a random fifth in the base colour. Add a little
black to the tin and do another fifth. Repeat until finished.

Might just replicate the natural colour variation in the originals.

Sure. But it doesnt look too good, and several years later it looks dreadful

Has anyone had good results doing this.

If they have, I've never seen it

masonry paint probably. A damn good clean.
