I painted the grout myself in both our bathrooms. Went to Lowes, bought standard latex paint. Did this about 5 years ago and it still looks as good as it did day one. Easy job, but tedious. If you get paint on the tile, it will scrape off easily. In fact, I would sloppily paint the grout line to make sure it was well covered. Waited about three minutes for the paint to soak into the grout, then wiped it off the tiles. I did clean the tiles and grout really well before I started painting using dishwasher powder soap and vinegar. And, I did not seal the grout when the job was done. The latex paint does a good job with that. Good luck!
