I went to Sherwin Williams and the guy there said he doesn't know also (ha? what?) Happen to go to another Homedepot. This time the guy there said should use pray paint bottle like Rust-Oleum. Really? I am quite confused. @millworkman, Can't this type be used? http://www.homedepot.com/p/BEHR-Premium-Plus-Ultra-1-gal-Ultra-Pure-white-Semi-Gloss-Enamel-Exterior-585001/100550162

Watercolors would probably work....or how about stencil paint? After two months you have probably already done it and hung the shade, haven't you? I'm just trying to move this down. There must be more painters out there somewhere...why don't we liven up this forum???? Barbara

bbstx, thank you so much for the tips. I have some other remodeling to be done by contractors. These days, I have been busy buying lights and materials for bathroom remodeling. Sorry for my late response. For the kitchen cabinets, I will paint them myself. screedesq, thank you very much for sharing your experience, which is very helpful. I'll use the Benjamin Moore Advance Simply White Semi Gloss. For the primer, I'll use Sherwin Williams PrepRiteProBlock latex primer. The sales lady recommended SW premium wall wood primer. But according to bbstx's referred post, the former should be better. I have the external hinge of bronze color. Did you have the same? Did you change them to stainless steel? I don't know if it would be a good idea to change them to internal hinge and if it would be an easy job. Did it take you a lot of time to degloss and sand the cabinets? Did you use a rotary orbital sander to do the job? The contractor who is going to remodel my house suggested Rust-Oleum Transformations. I doubt it would produce the same good result as SW preprite problock latex primer + BM advance? Really appreciate your help.

I don't have any experience with this stuff, but since nobody else has replied, I'll venture a thought: What you're considering is pretty much a painted floor, outdoors. If this is what the elements have done to saltillo tile, what would happen to a painted floor??? Maybe you can find a masonry stain, & then seal it. I love saltillo, hope you can resuscitate yours!
