Basically, once you’ve applied the paint, you’ll want to clear coat with a sealant. That way when you go to wash the tile you’ll not wipe off the paint.
you can scuff up the tile, then use a primer then use a good enamel paint.
Ok, tiles are usually hard ceramic coated.
Now, I would wash them in a mild acid, to take a bit of the coating off, and then scuff them up some more, and hit them with an enamel, or even a latex paint.
If you use latex, then you cant wash them, or the latex will peel, enamel you can wash and no peeling.
Ive heard of people using kiltz as a prewash before painting, so you may want to try that.
I wish you well…

What ever you do don’t use waterbased paint because it will come off when wet. Try using a permanent enamel paint. That way the only way of getting it off is with paint thinner. Good luck.
