Sanding Ceramic Tile Before Painting?

I have shiny white bathroom tile. Everyone I have talked to tells me to sand it for better adhesion. I have even tried 60 grit sandpaper and cannot get it to become rough! Why?

I spoke to a professional painter about this before I did it years ago. He sent me to my local paint center and they agreed with what he told me. I had to treat the tile first with an acid type of cleaner and then paint it. I had great luck with it and the paint held very well. Just get help from a pro at you local paint center first. It does not take too much time. Do in a very well ventilated area.

I have painted tile in my bathroom, and it is not a very satisfactory thing. Mine was quite old and had a very outdated pattern, however, it certainly was not the best solution. The previous owners did it. It is peeling off in places and I would not recommend painting over tile.

Leave it alone. Redecorate by painting your walls, up dating curtains, shower curtain, and towels. White tile is quite timeless; you shouldn't have to change it to get a nice look.

I agree. The paint peels off. Don't paint it. Paint and update the rest of your bathroom.
