That's tricky. -How do you know the paint won't wrinkle or strip whatever you put on. I would strip the paint first.
As long as the paint is soundly attached, you should be able to apply tiles using thinset or mastic directly to the painted surface. You'll want to clean the wall first with tsp to ensure that any contaminants that would affect the adhesion are removed prior to applying the tile.
I sell pretty kiln fired tiles that have roses on this. All you need is some tile adhesive and a little grout and you can stick the replacement tiles on yourself. It's easy.

yes, you can paint ceiling tiles. We have done it many times. Painting may effect their UL listing however.
I don't see why not, it seems to have alot of uses, and they say it will stick to anything.
You should not adhere tile on top of tile. It is much better to rip it up and install on a secure surface and make sure it is smooth level. If you find yourself in a situation where you can not/should not remove the tile (e.g. if there is asbestos tile underneath or if there is a radiant heat systems under and you don't want to risk breaking/puncturing it), then the alternative is to pour 1/2" (or more) of self leveling cement and then install on top of that.
Usually not very. Tiles have a very hard surface that paint won't stick to that well. It'll look OK for a while but it will chip easily and tends to peel after awhile. If you insist you need to scuff the tiles first with something like sand paper, and then preferably use an aggressive primer to get some adhesion. IMO the tiles would have to be really really bad before a paintjob would actually be able to make them look better.
No, the adhesive won't hold.
Yes most carpet tiles available on the market are self adhesive or as the manufacturer's say "self-stick" tiles. They come in a great variety of colors and styles.
If they are ceramic tiles and this is the adhesive used to bond them, instructions will be on the container.

Depends what you want to stick onto it. Not many glues stick effectively to plaster.
You " CAN ", but it is not advisable!AnswerSand the painted area so that it is rough. Then the adhesive will work better.
Installing tiles becomes much easier when using self-stick tiles. These tiles have adhesive already applied to the back, allowing you to just peel and stick. To ensure that tiles are arranged symmetrically, snap a chalk line on opposite walls along both the length and width. The center of the room is where the lines cross, and this is where you should begin laying tile. Arrange the tile in the desired pattern before peeling off the backing and placing the tile permanently.

A tile mastic such as Mapei Ecobond. See the tile aisle in Rona or Home Depot for this product.
I have used that to stick lino tiles. It worked very well. Mapei glues are very good.
Cork board tiles can be mounted to any surface by using a self-stick adhesive tape. This tape is sticky on both sides, and can be easily removed without marring the surface of a wall if the cork board tiles are no longer being used.
Metal showers tend to flex a bit; this could break the bond of the adhesive . If you did get the tiles to stick. i feel they would not stay put for long. My advice is don't do it.
