Painting external tiles

[spongebob59]

All the windows have an external tile border that we continually have to rub down and repaint every couple of years.

Have previously painted with black Rustin's tile paint so rather than repeat the mistake are there better options?
Even considering white incase it's heat that's the issue.

Hammerite?

Strip the paint off and leave the natural clay as originally intended?

+1 for this, get a needle gun tool, scabble it off and maybe give it a coat of terracotta tile sealer.

SWMBO wants it black (or white)

Deffo au natural for me. Am not seeing that Black or white would look any better.

Suggest to the other half that she strips and repaints it herself every couple of years. She might change her mind - or file for divorce

Or both.

Knock the tiles off and replace them with slate.
