Amazon reviews, a lot of people said stay away from foam rollers with Rust-Oleum paint, I'm not not sure how well this stuff works on ceramic or porcelain tile. Thanks for the video.
Hey Lesley-Ann, that makes sense. I bought mine straight from the hardware and didn't browse Amazon reviews otherwise I might not have made this mistake. Yea, I'd definitely say stay right away from foam rollers. I think my tile is ceramic - and I must say, the paint is holding up very well at the top of the shower, and all of the areas where I started painting first. I think this is because less of the foam roller had "melted" into the paint at that point. Thanks for your comment and I am glad this video was helpful. : )
Primer, all paint on new surfaces need primer first , it stops bleeding which is when you can see the old colour underneath through the new colour but most importantly it helps the top coat adhere to what your painting, it also helps to sand out any small blemishes
😂😂😂❤❤ I literally sit on the toilet debating whether I'm going to paint my shower on top of painting my bathroom and I saw this. Thank you so much, I love you. You are fabulous.😂❤❤❤ Mwaah
😂omg love it. The amount of times I wonder about different things to do to my bathroom while sitting on the toilet... lol! You too are fabulous❤. Good luck with whatever you decide to do to your tiles! May the (two-part paint) force be with you!🤩✨❤
I am a bit late to the party but l think it might be the chemicals in the soap/shower gell/shampoo that dissolve the paint. I had a painted splashback in a cloakroom and my daughter left a bar of soap resting against it. The paint peeled off where the soap was - l had used a recommended primer btw. The rest is fine 6 years later but still have a little patch of old tile showing though.
You're welcome! Me too, I kind of skim over them lol. Sponge rollers also make such sense for getting into the grout lines... just not for the solvents it turns out! 😅
I remember one comment in another video, about the product's failure. This person claimed that the formula developed for Canadians (Maybe you , too) is NOT the same successful formula provided for the United States. The restrictions in Canada forbid some chemicals and this company must comply. I have seen and witnessed many failures here in Canada. The biggest one is where I presently live, in a large apartment unit, where it was done professionally with all bathtubs, and all peeled. So, it may not be your use of a sponge roller.
SAME happened to me, different brand of paint. These paints have a solvent component which is usually mineral spirits or a derivative of it and this melts any soft plastic (including the plastic that the sponge roller is made of). Wish I knew sooner.
Oh no! How annoying. I'm glad you were able to touch it up though. I'm thinking of doing the same, just waiting for everything that wants to peel off to come off. And a free weekend when we don't need to shower lol
No I didn't! As far as I remember the directions on the Rustoleum tub and tile paint were to apply just the two-component paint. A clear coat might have helped, but I think the sponge melting into the paint weakened its bond to the wall😅. Hopefully my mistake can be useful to others before they paint their tub or shower.
Hey Tim, I am ashamed to say I haven't. I'm torn between doing a quick fix and doing a full demo and reno of the bathroom😂. But if I decide to redo the paint, I'll definitely do an update.
Thank you for the advice! Planning on painting our bathroom tiles. Regards from Saudi Arabia. Oh, and I just subscribed. Looking forward to more videos xo
Hi Khadeejah! Thank you for your lovely comment, I am so glad my experience and takeaways are useful to you : D. All the best with the shower painting project, I am sure it will turn out beautifully. Regards from South Africa! xo
It’s not you, and how you applied the paint. The paint used is just not strong enough to stick on tiles, and specially on floor tiles where water stays longer. I have seen this many times. Paint only lasts for couple years and that is not a long time.
Hey Mauri, I agree I don't think tile paint is something that you can expect to last forever, especially on a floor. But I do think that the sponge roller dissolving into the paint really weakened the bond to the tiles. It looks even worse now, the paint's coming off up the walls, and I can't wait to retile😂. Have a good day and thanks for the comment : )
Heck yea! The fumes were intense, definately reccomend wearing a heavy duty mask. We were fortunate that we didn't have to stay in the house during that period, so the paint could off-gas without us being there. But if you have a window, you could also seal off the room and leave it to vent off perhaps?
@@diywithdani I live in a 1 bedroom unit so its the sole bathroom/toilet for the home. I am considering a bathroom renovation but if the paint didn't need 7 days to cure...I'd definately consider painting the tiles. The bathroom being out of action for a number of days kind of makes it hard now to consider painting.
@@travistravis7190 Hey Travis, yea that is tricky! Maybe you can wait until a time when you need to take a trip, and then do it right before? Good luck and all the best with your bathroom renovation.
Aw! Thank you so much! I am working over time at my job to cover a big expense that's coming up, but as soon as that's done it's time for more videos and projects : D
@@diywithdani Washing it will NOT stop foam rollers disintegrating in two pack paint and oil based paint. Use suitable microfibre rollers, and after you have rolled a small section, tip it off by rolling in one direction same as with brushing, I usually start at the top and make my final roll down, with only the lightest pressure on the roller.
I think primer might have helped! The product I used doesn't call for a primer, but maybe it would have helped the weakened paint stick. Some people also advise against using primer with that Rustoleum product, so I'm not totally sure. Would be interesting to try through!
