Hi, Anyone had any experience/ advice on painting exterior floor tiles?
These are terracotta (maybe glazed?) in a porch-way outside a front door, they are under some cover but still get hit by some rain, and also of course foot traffic.
Problem is the tiles are 15+ years old, some are cracked/ chipped and we cant find exact replacements, but we can source the same size/ thickness in a similar colour, so we had the idea of painting over them all once repaired. Plus we'd like to change the colour, and painting would be a fraction of the cost of ripping up the whole area and re-tiling..
I've found some stuff online that says its possible, but mixed results and durability of finish
What do you reckon, do-able? any recommended products/ brands of paint, advice on sealing, undercoats, topcoats?
thanks
