    Hi. I have a small coffee table and the top is tiled. I was wondering does anyone know if its possible to paint over the tiles and does any paint do.
    Thanks!

    You'll need a paint for non-porous surfaces - i.e. paint for glass or ceramic, or you could use enamel paint.
    You might want a few layers of varnish on top if it's something that's going to get a lot of use. Make sure you use the right kind of varnish (water-based varnish on top of solvent/oil-based paint will cause cracks ... which is only good if you actually want a crackle-glaze effect!)

    You can get pots of glass/tile paint in art shops but it will scratch easily you could varnish it as treasurebin has explained. If the surface is not too slippy could get a piece/sheet of glass cut to sit on top of the tiles to protect the surface.
