Is there any safe way to turn a slanted brown aspalt tile roof white without damageing the tile?

I've heard that most roof coatings damge these tiles and I have no leaks right now but would like a cooler roof.

replace the tile with a lighter color, and get an attic fan.

Obtain white cement from a builders merchant, Make a stiff paste, and keep adding water until you have a liquid resembling thick paint. Use a coarse paint roller and apply like paint. What you are doing is known as cement wash and it is very effective for the job that you intend doing.,
Mix only enough for about an hours work.
White cement is known as "Snowcrete" in UK In other countries it may have a different name.
Just for the record, IT WON'T damage the shingles.

better off to simply install a couple of gable vents then mount a fan box to each one

be sure to install a temperture relay to each one that way you can have the fan kick on and exhaust the attics air when hot and stay off when it is cooler

my fiance actually did that to his house alone and it looks fine to me but I'm not sure how he did it I think he used spray.

If you have asphalt shingles that you are calling tiles DO NOT use cement. It would dry the oils out of the asphalt and shorten the life of your roof. You can coat it with a white elastomeric paint that is made for roofing. You can purchase these products at you local Home Depot or Lowes. And if you want the best quality elastomeric, you can purchase it from your local roofing supplier.
