BLUE Boring Bathroom to Unique Bathrom With Some Easy Painting

IMG_20200701_230118.jpg

Hello Folks,

I recently bought a very little flat, with a very oldschool bathroom design.

As I found out with the cheapest blue tiles ever, so I wondered how could I give some life in it (on a budget).

This project is a success for me, hope to inspire others too.

Supplies

All you need:

- a tile renewal paint (in my country only availabel in white color, but worked erfect for me) for ca. 15 USD

- some masking tape (I also used duct tape as I have a dozen of it)

- paper cutter knife or sclapel

- Teddy paint roller

- some dissolvent for cleaining the surfaces (water with soap did fine to me)

Cleaning the Surface

It is a very important part if you dont want to follow my first try and make a roll of masking tape waste.

So scrub and clean and dry the surface before masking.

Ok planing could be also the firt step, as w/o a good dsign I wouldn't start the proccess.

BTW I think that my pattern is very attractive and realy easy to mask (BUT you have to be accurate at the overlaps, prefer measure more times)

Paint It All

Just put on the paint.

I needed 2 layers for a good coverage.

Wait

The hardest part for me.

Tthis paint has a very long time for dry (30h+)

Remove the Mask

Enjoy your new tiles.
