Lee, Providing the tile you are discribing is a fired material ,you can't hurt it with almost any chemical. Think of the glazed top of the tile as being a Glass surface. An exception might be if the glaze has craze lines in the surface.Colors from paint spatters can find their way into these cracks and are almost impossible to get out. SO test the chemical in a small area first. Some paints will not be easily effected by thinners or mineral spirits .you may have to try Turpentine or equal.Acetone is stronger yet. Its the base for fingernail polish remover with a little oil & smell good added.A small razor blade paint scraper is also handy . When using a razor make sure first that it dosn't leave a silver like scratch mark on the surface.Good Luck.
