[QUOTE="Tile Shop, post: 799839"] I wouldn't risk leaving the paint on. Seen a few horror stories. One that I did see done when I was in our showroom, we got a tiler in to convert an old office into a large roomset. White emulsion on a plaster surface. He did a gradual prime coat with BAL APD. diluted (this is very approximate but for old times sake lets just say......) first coat 1:20 and leaving it to soak through the paint, then 1:10, then 1:5. His reason behind it was that this will add an extra bond between the paint and the plaster. Left it 2 days to dry and tiled it with ceramics..... which was fine cuz they were only around 16kg. not alot could go wrong. But i'd have thought with your mahoosive slabs or rock, no matter how many coats you put on or through the paint, your tiles are effectively only stuck to emulsion. Its enough to make your bum squeek. Other people may be able to offer a more informed opinion but I'm a little blinkered and can't see past the "tiling onto paint" let alone the "how well is the paint bonded to the surface". What is the surface under the paint and whats the marble weight per sqm? [/QUOTE]
