In this house we're buying one of the back of house hallways has ugly green plastic tiles 3/4 of the way up the walls.At Lowes we saw a product for painting/sealing ceramic tiles.I don't know what it was called.Could this be used to paint plastic tiles do you think? Other than ripping off those tiles does anyone have any suggestions on what to do with them?We really don't have the time to spend because we will have 2 weeks to do the other immediate repairs to make it livable. Thanks so much for ANY input.

darjus, Two ways. If you don't fear bleeding use 100% acrylic latex primer such as Zinsser 123, KILZ 2 or KILZ Total One. If there is a possibility of bleeding use an oil based primer such as KILZ original formula.....Mike
