I used tile paint in my previous bathroom... I think it was the plastikote I used and they looked ok to begin with but after a couple of months started peeling and looked awful. I only had tiles on the window ledges so it was a small area... not sure how it`d look if you were painting half a wall. Lot cheaper than re-tiling tho, especially if you`re moving.
