tile paint

right guys need some advice please...looking to do up my kitchen currently have olive green tiles :eek: and would love to change them into something more modern, have been quoted £320 to have it retiled with the materials and labour, so going to have to save a while to afford it, so i thought about wall tile transfers which work out even more expensive than having it tiled (my kitchen is fairly large) so i thought about tile painting them which would be alot cheaper, but i have never used it before and havent heard great reviews about it, so is there any that people would recommend or should i just save and have it done properly? also may sound like a dumb question but do you paint the grout or just the tiles, any advice would be great thankyou :beer:
Raven. :grinheart:grinheart:grinheart
