I'm looking for a paintable sealant to seal the internal corners of my shower cubicle. I've just finished the walls with white metro tiles and have used a dark grey grout to grout up the joints.

I ran a bead of white silicone from top to bottom but it looked crap ( workmanship as much as anything else ) so was thinking of reapplying and touching up where the grout lines meet with dark grey paint/permanent marker.

I believe that Silicone based products don't take paint well whereas Acrylic sealants ( caulk etc ) do.

Any recommendations as to which product might be suitable for a wet shower environment?

Thanks
 
That's a lot of effort and relies on your painting to be really steady or....

Grey coloured sealant

I thought about using the grey sealant but would then i'd have a full grey line which almost has the same effect as a full white one. Alternating the two would also be a nightmare so the painted option came to mind. ( Probably a stupid idea but I do tend to over-think things. I'd never make any money as a tradesman. )
 
Not a recommendation but Ive used weather mate externally around some frames and paint sticks to it.
As said paint in a shower aint going to work!!
