AFTER

Time for a kitchen refresh? A painted tile backsplash is an easy and budget-friendly way to give your kitchen a fresh new look.

This project entails some prep work, including cleaning the tile, removing the surrounding caulk and patching any tile chips or cracks. You’ll also need to sand the tile’s surface before you use a Rust-Oleum Tub & Tile Refinishing Kit to paint your tile backsplash.

Whether you choose to paint your tile white, as shown in this project, or add a little contrast with the color Coastal Fog, your painted backsplash will help revitalize your kitchen without the cost and mess that can accompany replacement.
