My ex painted all of our bathroom tile and old tub by first applying a primer specificaly for that purpose. I was a little sceptical at first but I have to tell you it looked great for the first six months. After that, little nicks turned into holes and the paint on the back wall completely sagged when I left the hot water running on it. I didn't see any way to fix it, so I ripped out the whole bathroom. The new jacuzzi was very nice.

I've seen ceramic that was electrostatically painted and looked pretty good, but no idea how well that holds up. Did notice when I punched holes in the ceramic for a shower curtain rod that the paint just peeled up around the ceramic bit. Honestly have doubts about most paints sticking to plastic, bonding tightly, and then resisting water, soap, solvents, scrubbing, etc for any length of time. Might just consider that new jacuzzi idea.
