It depends on the paint that was used to paint the tiles originally, but usually a methylene chloride stripper will take off an epoxy used to paint tiles and not harm the tiles. Use strippers only in a well ventilated area with protective clothing and eyewear.
Paint stripper. It won't harm ceramic tile, but if it's plastic tile, don't try it.
Get a product called "Goof Off". Can find it in some hardware stores, maybe Home Depot.
No, it will not adhere properly.
ceramic is smoother.
I would paint after. Because you might have to do caulking after tiling and when u finish caulking then paint.
soak with water until it softens and thegently scrape
Many home centers sell a two part epoxy kit that you can use to paint ceramic bathroom tiles, but they are in a fairly limited selection. If you'd prefer a different color, go to a paint store and they can mix a two part polyurthane or epoxy in nearly any color you would want. You can also use a bonding primer, like XIM, for the first coat, then cover that with a durable oil based paint if you prefer to not deal with a two part coating. It isn't as durable, but can easily be touched up and should be less expensive.
If it is vinyl tile and it's latex paint, rubbing alcohol will remove it. If it is a ceramic or porcelain tile, you can carefully scrape it off or if it is also latex paint, the same thing,,,alcohol will remove it.
You can remove oil paint from ceramic floor tile by using paint thinner. Wet a soft cloth with paint thinner and rub it over the paint stain until it is removed.
You remove oil based paint on tile floors by using a strong detergent mixed with water and a soft cloth
Yes definitely!! Use a primer designed for ceramic tile, and regular latex paint. I've read you should seal it with polyurethane, but I haven't sealed my bathroom walls (2 coats of primer 3-4 coats latex) and they've been fine for 2 months
No, it will not adhere properly.
It depends on the type of ceramic adhesive. Many of them can be taken off tile with lacquer thinner on a rag.
Paint thinner will take off the oil based paint, but first test it in a corner to ensure it will not damage the face. Glazed tile shouldn't be damaged from paint thinner, but you would want to be sure.
Remove the adhesive.
With great difficulty!
