Floor tile in kitchen, hallway and back bed room.
Can you paint over peel and stick tile?

The tile is brown with ridges in each one. I think it must have been put down in the late 50’s or early 60’s, but is not peeling up.

I've painted mine, so far so good, going on 2 years
Have you tried a heat gun? Fairly cheap to rent one.
Try a heat gun in a hidden spot to see if it would work for you!
Peel and Stick tile did not exist in 50-60's. The tile was glued down with a mastic. You could try a heat gun and a metal scraper like you use for drywall or maybe heavier. Had a similar problem in our 1973 house with original tile. Tried all kinds of solvents to get the glue off after we pried up the old tile. Hubby decided to just mop the floor to get rid of the solvents. Turns out the glue was water-soluble. Definitely try water first! LOL
Yes, you can paint your floor. There is a paint for everything. Make sure you prime it with the right primer.
I used deck paint to start (I've done 3 floors) then I used regular interior latex paint. I think the secret is to give it at least 3 coats of poly
Mine was sheet vinyl but I used porch paint that worked good.
