Phantom 1 Report post Posted July 1, 2008 That was what Roger Lim from Gplan educated me about when i said i'm thinking of painting the walls. But epoxy paint is very expensive?

Lidat become have to hack off make good then epoxy paint? Hm...i dun understand leh...if you do epoxy paint on tiles, it's simply just paint over tiles....you don't hv to hack off your tiles.....if you are overlaying, the tiles are just overlaid on top of the existing tiles, no hacking involved.....if you hack off and relay tiles, why is there an additional need to do epoxy paint?? but you are right in that if your existing tiles are hollow, you risk popping tiles in future....

jackng1982 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2008 If disregard to costs my initial options was to hack off the old tiles and lay new wall tiles. Then with cost in mind the options of plaster overlaying existing tiles and paint the wall came up. But as the old tiles are really old, there's the risk of tiles popping so i came to the point of hacking the wall tiles and make good for painting over.

If this is your option, i dun think you need epoxy paint to do so...like what kat said, just use wash and wear paint can liao....epoxy paint is more for adhering to tile surfaces....normal paint would cost less...
