Discuss Painting red quarry tiles grey - prime or no prime!?? in the Tile Cleaning and Restoration Forum area at TilersForums.com.

Hi there,

We have red quarry tiles in our indoor entrance hall and my wife would like to paint them grey to complement a renovation we are doing.

We have chosen Rustoleum washable matt floor tile paint but my question is should we be applying a primer first? (It says that priming is not necessary on the tin but I’m not convinced!!)

I’ve heard that it’s wise to use oil or latex based primers but I really am not too sure!!

Please can you advise what is best and what product to use!?

Many thanks
