Paint or tile first in bathroom?
SWMBO wants to know whether to tile or paint the bathroom first? I thought it was a silly question. But then, I don't have the answer.

Neither do I but I would hazard a guess that if you are painting the top half and tiling the bottom half then I would be inclined to do the painting first - you don't have to worry about getting paint on the tiles.

wet grout will wipe off a cured painted surface. Wet paint wont wipe off grout. It's not the paint on tiles that's any issue. Just the grout. You get a much cleaner finish if you paint first.
Paint first. Paint to just under where the tiles go so the adhesive doesnt have to overlap too much paint.

Yes, paint first, but just don't paint where the tiles are going.
