DIY kitchen backsplash Painting Project

Took my kitchen revamp to another level by painting the backsplash! If you’re new here, check out my DIY cabinet painting blog post for more info on that. I ended up using the same paint I had left over from the cabinets so this was a free project. 🙌🏼

Before I painted- September 2019

Here’s my paint! Semi-gloss in the color white.

This paint is offered in other color options which I will link below too. I went with white because I wanted them crisp and bright.

I had about 20% of this can of paint left after doing the cabinets and it only took me about half that to do our backsplash.

I ended up just using a brush on the back splash because the foam roller couldn’t get in the grout.

You’ll need to do at least 3 coats of paint. Some areas may need more or less.

I used NO top coat over this paint because I was scared it would yellow and I honestly didn’t need it.

Clean backsplash with a heavy degreaser first! Mine is from Walmart.
My tile was very uneven and ugly.
Just dive in and start painting!
Painted the brown caulk too.
