Place old newspapers or rags on the floor to protect it as well -- you’ll thank yourself for it later! Step 3. Time for Primer  Some people skip this, but if your paint needs it, apply one layer of tile primer. Let it dry for about 4 hours. The tin should tell you whether primer is needed or not. Step 4.
