Question:

Painting glass mosaic tiles?

I purchased a DIY tile backsplash kit which costs originally $134.00. Kit includes 15 sq feet of tile, grout and tools needed to install. Lowe‘s sells the kit. The problem is the color is not the color I need. So I have this bright idea to paint the tile the color I want. I only paid $40.00 for the kit. I called one of the paint suppliers and they told me a spray paint I could use for the glass tile, however, I am afraid tha after I paint the tile, install it and then add the grouting, it may take the paint off!. I don‘t know, if it would or not. I was thinking I could spray polyurethan over the tile before I grout it or would that work? Not sure what to do. This kit is a new method for putting up a backsplash in your kitchen. It is actually peel and stick and then you must grout within 2 hours.

Take the kit back and do it the RIGHT way
Mosaic Tile Backsplash Kit
The first problem was buying the glass back-splash kit. This is a fad. It looks bad. You can get a very high end back-splash with granite or marble tiles, 12 in. by 12in. Glue the tiles in place with loctite cement. No grout lines needed. Buy a used wet tile cutter on OKorder . Practice with cheap tile from the DIY stores. Then, you can move the the bath floor and tub surround. Not too long you could be doing granite tile counter tops.
