    Default painting porcelain

    I have started fitting out a bathroom with a 600x300 mamarizzo porc tile. This room was originally meant to be fitted out in trav as the customer does not like tile trim on external corners, In this room the externals were to be bull nosed but the replacement tile is not colored through to the base, only glazed.
    Ive heard of oil based tile paints that would allow me to "butt-joint" the corners and then touch up with paint but Ive never used a product like this and know nothing about how its done or where to get the right gear...

    Any ideas???

    thing is that the glaze wil speltch if he knocks an external edge even slightly and also the walls are tiled brick-bond and I never mitre against a cut edge.
    We are really wanting to paint the edge...
