I am about to lay floor tiles (i think they have to be porcelain) on a new patio deck. My plan is to have the main tiles a terra cotta color and accent them with 2×2 tiles that I want to paint myself with a pattern/flower etc. Problem: don’t know what materials I need. what kind of tile, does it get fired before or after I paint it? what kind of sealer, if any, after it’s painted. Any advice on what materials to use as well as where to get it would be greatly appreciated.
