I Googled the subject and found a one paint coat specially for painting
ceramic wall tile.
But it was UK web site, a UK product. Not practical for use in Western
Pennsylvania.
Is there any way to successfully paint wall tile? The tile is a kitchen
back splash.

Hmm, interesting that there would be something that would work in the UK
but not in the Eastern U.S. Problem with reverse magnetic polarization
this side of the Atlantic?

Sure, if you don't mind the paint eventually getting scuffed, dirty (and
uncleanable) and chipping off.
If the tile is really that ugly, maybe you should just think about
replacing it.

If ordering a tile paint from the UK is out of the question, why would
I consider ordering from Australia??
