Step 1: Clean & Prep 

-Use a dust sheet or tape and drape to protect any areas surrounding the tiles to avoid paint splatter or spills.

-Cleaning your tiles is essential to the durability and final look of your surface. Use Zinsser Degreaser & Cleaner to thoroughly de-contaminate your tiles and then wipe the tiles with warm water and allow them to dry.

Step 2: Prime the Tiles 

Using a brush or roller apply Zinsser Bulls-Eye 123 to the entire tile area. Leave to dry for the recommended re-coat time before moving to step 3.

Step 3: Paint Using Allcoat 

Using a mohair or 100% wool 4” roller and if necessary, a brush to cut in the trickier areas apply at least 2 coats of AllCoat to the tiles. 

Top Tips: 

1. Both Bullseye 123 and AllCoat are water-based, so you can easily clean the brushes and rollers with warm water
2. If you are painting your tiles in darker shades, Bullseye 123 Primer can be tinted to make it easier to achieve the final colour. 
3. Bullseye 123 & AllCoat are typically re-coatable in 1 hour. 
4. Although AllCoat will provide a durable, long-lasting finish, it will require a full 7 days to cure and harden, so take care for the first week or so.
