Default Removing tile paint

Once I have stripped the tiles I need to repaint them as they were pretty
horrible, any one recomend a brand to use to repaint them? Are some colours
more forgiving? I can;t afford to retile at the moment, but will tile
adhesive bond to tile paint, as when do retile I may just tile over the
top.


You have my sympathies. I hate tile paint. Someone had done a similarly
evil thing to the tiles in our bathroom, and it looked utterly awful. I
ripped the entire room out, and have just finished replacing. It's the
best thing I ever did...

I don't think you should try sticking tiles to tile paint -- the paint
just doesn't adhere well enough to the polished surface.

If you do manage to strip your tiles, have you thought about tiling over
with plain white tiles? They're relatively cheap, and they go with
pretty much anything. You can get them in various sizes and textures.
