You can, but be sure you really do your prep to keep the paint from flaking off. Talk to your paint store. They can tell you exactly what products and how to use them.
They sell special tub and tile paint for painting tiles, especially in wet spaces:

If you paint the tile any color other than white it is going to look like painted over tile. Once the grout lines are gone you lose the look of tile. If the tile is in good shape consider living with the pink and finding a complementary color to use on the wall above the tile, in the towels, in the rugs, and in the shower curtain. You can design it so the pink just becomes a secondary color.

Don’t paint, embrace the pink. I bought our 1965 home because of the three bathrooms. One was blue, one green and the upstairs one was pink.i loved them all !!!
add some white. Make some pretty curtains. Add pretty towels and shower accessories and you will have people green with envy........ better make that pink with envy.
Our house is a 1956 not 65. Quirky fingers.
the best idea is to use a medium emery paper the type for rubbing down car paint and then use a quality gloss paint eric
Glad i found this. My house is 1956 as well. I wish our bathrooms had pink or green tile (like the house i grew up in)....but the people that built this house LOVED yellow..and brown. So our bathrooms have bright yellow and subdued brown tile the kitchen has horrible bright yellow backsplash and counters too
You can buy Tile Paint! You can also buy Tile Covers or Stick on Covers or Transfers, all do a great job of changing the look!
Yes you can paint the tiles but make sure you lightly sand and prime and use an epoxy paint. Pink is coming back into style. If it is in good condition, I would decorate around it.
Yes you can. Check in your local hardware or home improvement store for the right type of paint.
