ACCTUALLY THERE IS A VERY GOOD PROCESS,IT REQUIRES 100%PREP WORK,USEING acetone CLEANING THE TILE,[SILICONE IS SO NOT GOOD FOR THIS]& 220 WET & DRY SANDPAPER &SCUFFING & OR SANDING THE ENTIRE AREA THAT WILL BE PAINTED,THATS UR PREP,now THE paint,....they have NOW @ homedepot for paintin tile& its a little $$$around 30.00 for a can,32 0z size but as long as you do a good prep job it will last long,idid this professonally for a coulple days lol,the guy, used in his 25 yr biz,an acrylic paint& mix alittle with paint thinner,heated the contaner of paint in hot tap water,and it was sprayed on with a simple sprayer,that was the trick,& PREP,cleaning down the surface & flatneing the surface or sanding it with that type of grit.I wish I knew more on this procedure but i couldnt handle the work with the pay so I bailed,but i did want to do this for myself so i tried the trade,P.S.plastic the bathroom off to prevent over spray,good luck
