    I've just finished using tile paint on our kitchen tiles.
    It isn't the International one though, but Ronseal One Coat Tile Piant( No primer required).It cost me £15 though.
    So far its looking good.Its only needed one coat( as it should do!) and I'm pleased with the finish.Don't know how hard wearing it is though.

    I have used the international tile paints. But it was the one where you used a primer.

    It looked ok once finished and did last a while. But just don't be too heavy handed with the old brillo pad when cleaning.

    Also not sure if this applies to the one coat it stunk. My husband had polyps up his nose and he could not smell a thing. It made me feel sick and wanted to pass out from the smell.

    So make sure you are in well ventilated area if you do go ahead.

    We used it as a way to extend the life of the tiles and bathroom until we could afford to have the bathroom re-done. Which was about 6 months before we sold and moved out :rotfl:
