Best paint for bathroom tiles?
Hello, I'm wanting to update my bathroom with a limited budget. I cannot afford to re-tile so am considering painting the tiles. There are so many conflicting reviews online that I'm going round in circles! Is there a paint for bathroom tiles that you would recommend? Specifically I'm looking for a cream/beige matte finish. The tiles are around the window, toilet, sink, and bath. Thank you :)

Should I put on undercoat when painting panelling?
Hi. I have new wooden panelling a mixture of mdf tulip wood and pine. I primed it 2 to 3 times until it was evenly white. I didn’t undercoat because farrow and ball only supply a combined primer and undercoat and another combined option like that was v thick and viscous and difficult to work with. So I went straight to farrow and ball modern eggshell for a 40-% sheen. I have put two coats on and from a distance it looks fine bit up close it looks streaky and pretty obvious brush marks. The paint goes on v smoothly and looks v nice but once it dries it looks terrible. Can you help???

Can I use floor paint for a tile effect on laminate floors?
I have a large floor area which features a slate tile effect and is a dark grey colour. I would like to give it a glossier look and have some glossy floor paint that could work to give it a brighter, shinier look. Would this be recommended on laminate flooring? And if so, is there any special preparation I should make for painting laminate flooring? Many Thanks
