I've painted these many times. A primer is absolutly nessisary. The question is whether to use an stain killer or not. If you happen to have any latex primer left over from a previous project, brush some on a joint between two tiles to see if anything bleeds through. If yes then you need to use something like Kilz or CoverStain primer. The stuff stinks to high heaven, but it makes the finish coat go on quite easily and assures that no staining will occur. If there is no bleeding then a latex primer will suffice. I would advise you to use a good quality primer such as Benjamin Moore's Fresh Start. An inexpensive primer can lead to difficulty in applying the finish coat. |
