Shower tile painting using Rust-Oleum

Completed project.Completed project.

 

Hi 

So this lockdown I've decided to repaint the tiles in my shower. I've watched a bunch of YouTube videos and I know it can be tricky, so wanted to get some advice before I charge ahead. 

Firstly - I've read lots of stuff about using Rust-oleum Tub and Tile, but I can't figure out the difference between Tub and Tile and Tile Transformations? They seem to do the same thing...? 

Secondly, I'll be making sure those tiles are super clean before I begin (with a few passes of sugar soap), light sanding and final clean and dry. Is there anything else I need to do to prep the tiles/grout?

Just want to make sure I get this right the first time!

Thanks
Chris

Re: Shower tile painting using Rust-Oleum

I use a shower cleaner spray (I generally don't stick to a particular brand - at the moment I have Jif Bathroom spray) and occasionally mold spray. I don't use bleach, and I would be nervous about using anything too abrasive like actual Jif cream - and I haven't really need to do so anyway. To scrub I use a plastic bristled brush which takes off the soap scum / mold pretty nicely.
