    Default painting hearth tiles

    Hi all. I have some pretty ugly tiles to paint. They are hearth tiles beneath a gas log fireplace. Not sure how hot they get (not mine), will check later today. I would assume not hot? Is there a suitable tile paint for this?

    Thanks for any input.

    If heat is not an issue,I would prime with ESP than apply 2 coats of semi or full gloss enamel.

    White Knight have a tile paint that might be suitable unless you want a flat finish.

    Thanks Blocker, johnc. I hope heat isn't a problem (will check). I'm doing the kitchen tiles and using ESP and oil based undercoat and gloss paint. Then I can use the same without buying more stuff.
