Step by step guide
Step Number1
Tile Step 1

Clean the tiles thoroughly to remove any traces of dirt and bathroom products, and allow to dry completely. Mask off the surrounding area with masking tape and newspaper.


 
Step Number2

If your bathroom tiles are not already white spray the whole area of tiling with a coat of Tile Paint in White. You will need to leave this to dry for around 24 hours.

 
Step Number3
Tile Step 3

Apply rows of masking tape to the top row of tiles to form a striped border, as in the picture. Rub the tape with a soft cloth to make sure that the edges are stuck down firmly - this will prevent any paint from getting under the tape.

 
Step Number4

Protect all the other areas of tile with masking tape and newspaper.

 
Step Number5
Tile Step 5

Spray an even coat of Tile Paint in Blue over the masked area. Allow to dry for around 2 hours then remove the masking tape whilst the paint is still tacky to touch (this stops the paint from being pulled up as you remove the tape).

 
Step Number6

Note: Always follow usage instructions on the reverse of Plasti-kote spray paint cans.
