Do you have to remove old linoleum before putting down new vinyl tiles?

What is under the linoleum? If it is stuck down well, you can put new tiles on there once. However, if you get to "the bottom of things," you may be able to fill in any dips in the floor and correct any other issues that will make your vinyl tiles look even better. It will take elbow grease and a crowbar and some major adhesive remover to take off the linoleum, but it can be done. If you choose to tile over the linoleum, make sure it is super clean and free of any grease.

Can I paint kitchen tiles with Matt wall paint?

Yes. Make sure to clean them thoroughly first. Kitchens are notoriously greasy places and any grease on the tiles will stop the paint from adhering. It might be no harm if you can run a sander over the tiles first, as this will improve the 'purchase' of the paint if the tiles are particularly well glazed. If you intend the paint to adhere and be washable you must put a good primer under it, a light sanding of the tiles, followed by wiping it down with a tack-cloth (to remove all of the dust) then use a a primer such as Kilz (not Kilz 2 it is latex and does not work near as well). Once the primer is dry you can top coat with anything.
