hi all, i am planning a revamp for my kitchen as well and part of saving some $$$ is not to have wall tiles - are the weather shield/easywash paints working out well for you guys? i am suggesting to my contractor to just hack all the old tiles and paint them over but he mentioned it needs to be plastered to even out and painted, but tiles may be needed over at the cabinet/stove side - is a glass or ss back better and do i actually need tiles behind the glass?
