Question:

can I paint over bathroom tile?

I have 1in. tile all over my bathroom,is tthere a paint to use that will stay on?

Answer:

No but you can get things called tile tattoos online. Just google them.
It can work, but you have to sand the tile really well. My cousin did it last week.
You can get tile paint, but I've never seen a good finish with it. It'd be better to change the tiles.
Yes, okorder ... You will get better results if you spray rather than brush it on. If you check it out, there a companies that specialize in doing this for you. The price isn't that bad. I had it done to a old cast iron tub with wonderful results.
Technically, you can paint over almost anything if you use the right product for the job. In your case, i would suggest you firstly clean the tile thoroughly and make sure they are fully dried before working on them. Then prime it with a primer which is my favourite for difficult surfaces. called X I M Its an alkyd based primer that basically seals and adhere to any surface as the base coat. Then you can basically paint any paint of your choice over it without the fear of delamination. I have even use this method on mirrors and they work fine. Since this is a bathroom, enamel paint as the top coat will be a better choice since its easier to maintain and clean. You can get This Primer at you local paint shop or you can order them online under the paint supplier links. I get mine from JANOVIC...
