$1000 kitchen remodel

[thefed]

Could you elaborate on this? I really dislike the back splash tile in our kitchen, but I thought replacing it would be the only option... How did you prep the surface (did you use the standard primer/latex paint)? I would love to do the same, but I worry that the paint will peal/chip.

Oh yeah, nice job!

When i did the tile i first sanded it with a fine grit....200 or so. Cleaned and degreased it very well. Then I used a sub-mariner type spray paint which was very expensive from sherwin williams (made for boats and underwater applications)...just tell them what you are doing....this effectively' primed' the tile, and then i rolled on different colors as the last few year went by. We did the same in our bathroom, and it STILL hasnt chipped...this is IN the shower and I think it was about 10-15 bucks/spray can
