Is it that ugly? ive never heard of doing that, i guess it depends on where the tile are, if there on the floor id say no, or any traffic areas, but other than that you may find something to adhear to it. id stick with oil based

A friend has some green marble around her fireplace and hates the color. I have seen tile painted and thought this may work for this surface as well. Thanks

A friend o mine has green marble around her fireplace and hates the color. I have seen tile painted over and thought maybe you could do the same or this surface.

if you have room for extra thickness you can try and set new tile or marble on top of what she has.
