How to paint ceramic tile backsplash to look like stone.

Using the tape to create different sized tiles you can mimic a number of different materials from glass to stone. This can be a long tedious process but the results are worth it. I used my favorite degreasing cleaner and washed it down well. This paint goes a long way 1 quart will be plenty for most backsplashes.

This degreaser does not have to be. I have been getting a lot of feedback that many of you cannot find this product at your local hardware stores. If you love the look of tiles but prefer to use paint on your backsplash you can create faux tiles with paint. I have personally contacted rust oleum and unfortunately they have discontinued this tile transformation kit in most stores.

But since we paint so many awesome backsplashes i ve been feeling like ours is pretty darn boring and plain for my current taste. Cleaning the backsplash with a degreaser is very important especially behind the stove. Then you can add a lighter paint around the edges of the paintwork so that it looks natural and like a stone. This is what it looked like the first time i painted it to look like a tile backsplash.

One way to do this is to start with a broad brush and paint a few blobs and twirls into the middle of the tile. With a little prep work and the right paint you can transform your kitchen in just one weekend. Note that this is the only paint i recommend for painting a backsplash it s a high quality acrylic paint that has extraordinary adhesion. Paint your backsplash with general finishes milk paint in the color of your choosing we mixed the snow white color with a little bit of antique white.

I ve done a lot of projects to make our dated 80 s kitchen look more modern.

It s served us well for several years and i liked how classic and neutral it was. You will find that you have to get your paintwork arranged so that you can make it look like a stone.
