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 the ugliest island with the weirdest shade of blue tile in my kitchen. When we moved in the colors were wrong, and when we re-did our kitchen, not a lot, the colors are still wrong.
I would like to paint the back splash of my kitchen counter. It is in good condition but there are tiles that have a slight elevated flower design on them. Can I still paint the tiles?
Has anyone ever painted the tiles in their bathroom with good success? I have a shower floor that really needs work as well as some wall trim.
