I hope I am answering the correct question. My friend and I buy ceramic glazed tile (usually just plain white) and then china paint (the same paint you use for porcelain dolls) on them and fire them in the kiln. These are used as hot plate trivets. She would also buy plain white plates,cups, platters, vases [ceramic or china] and paint them also. She also had ceramic molds and she would pour, clean and glaze vases and china paint them also. I could spend a lot of time listing the items she made from ceramic glazed items and then china painted. She painted anything that stood still for a brief moment! And yes, we also china paint porcelain dolls. Glad to have found this thread! Rosie

I am thinking of using that very same tile for my bathroom. They had a display of it at our Ikea in one of the kitchens and I liked it very much. With all the people trampling through, it didn't seem dirty at all but they used downtown black which is pretty dark. Maybe you should get a sample and put it through some testing. What color were you planning to use?

Amazing transformation! I have heard that oak with its strong grain was very difficult to paint over. Is that why you did so many coats and can you see the grain now? We have some cabinet doors in our living room that are oak veneer and I would love to do them cream with a glaze but unfortunately as they are flat faced I don't think the glaze would show much but I am curious as to whether the oak is hard to paint.

Hi! I did use the paint!-- If you're thinking of using it and want an opinion I will tell you what I discovered along the way... Definitely use the 1/4" nap roller like the directions recommend. I didn't at first and as a result lost a lot of the paint in a thicker napped roller. Soooo.... on the second jar of paint I then had to buy I used the proper roller and life was much easier. The brush strokes are still sort of noticeable and it's kind of finicky to get on the wall looking smooth. If you have the time and the patience it ends up looking awesome when it's done though! It's not chunky and I'm not too worried about what I will have to go through to cover it when I will want a change. It's subtle but noticeable in person when the light shines on it. Also, because the glimmer is so fine it has a tendency to spray a little when working with it. -- a little warm water and soap cleaned it right up in no time (even days after when I found some spots I had accidentally made.) The directions on the jar are right on the money and I'm so glad I ended up following them and using the paint! I love my glimmer wall and everyone else seems to love it too (or they're just glad I finally gave in and followed directions for once... Haha!) *Also, I put a base coat of acrylic charcoal coloured paint on and then put the silver glimmer over top. I ended up using three coats of it but the wall is completely silver now. I'm honestly not sure what it would have looked like if I had a different colour under it but I'm really happy with how it turned out! I'd definitely recommend it! Again, it's not crazy-glittery or chunky, it's just a fine shimmer that sparkles a little when the light shines on it. If you use it, let me know how you like it! I, too, still haven't heard of anyone having used it! Good luck and happy painting! :-)
