ᐅ House Exterior – Painting Over Tiles Outside?

Hello everyone,

we have some rather unattractive tiles on the lower part of the facade of our house. Does anyone have experience with painting these? What types of paint are suitable for this?

Kind regards

I’ve already done this indoors. Cleaned the surface, applied a primer, and then painted two coats of lacquer.
Even with my skills, it worked perfectly and was quite resistant to mechanical damage.
However, I’m not sure how weather-resistant the material is. My feeling is that it shouldn’t be a problem.

I don’t know the exact name, but the friendly guy at the hardware store will gladly show you the right shelf. It wasn’t exactly cheap, though. I think I paid around 15–20 € per square meter.

Wow, these things are really impressive. [emoji23]

I don’t think these tile colors for the bathroom and kitchen are suitable for exterior use. But you could look into baseboard or concrete paint. With the right primer beforehand, you can probably make something work. You could try a test coat on a corner.

Another idea: add battens. However, that would be expensive.

Replacing the battens or removing tiles and replastering would be really expensive. I was thinking more along the lines of using a textured primer and base paint... What do you think? Has anyone worked with textured primer before?

I would definitely not try to even it out with the plaster on top. Add a nice accent instead; whether it’s textured or not doesn’t really matter.
