You mention that you should protect the floors with urethanes but is this a
need step for walls too?
Does this paint job last long? I have been thinking about doing this to my
bathroom tile walls (not the shower) and everyone says it will peal in a
few years or everytime you bump the wall it will scratch off the paint.

Would it be safe to use the floor paint made for garage floors on a ceramic
tile floor? Would you still have to coat with a clear urethane.

I can't afford to completely re-tile, but would like to remove a few
scattered tiles and replace with an offset color to up-grade the design.
How do I get a tile off the wall without damaging the ones around it?

I heave a table that has green tile in the center. Would it be okay to
paint tile that plates and dishes will constantly be drug across? Alos,
should I put a polyurethane coat over it? Thank you in advance for your
time and acknowledgment.

There is actually a ceramic tile paint on the market now that works really
well AND you can use it on tile that will get wet. I have painted my shower
stall, bathtub and toilet bowl and the paint is still like new.

Do you have to sand the tile on a kitchen backsplash before you paint it or
is there special paint that sticks to it?
