How to paint ceramic canister set.

Kittymommy delta also makes a paint for glass and ceramic tile that you don t have to bake it is called ceramdecor i got it at hobby lobby you apply a surface conditioner then 2 or more coats of the paint letting each coat dry for 1 hour between coats then apply a clear gloss or satin glaze it is satin finish and is dishwasher safe after it has dried for 10 days cleans up with soapy water lillie. After the rough edges have been smoothed away you may begin painting. Start off with medium grade switching to fine grade when needed. We ship daily using fed ex ground and for our larger orders.

First wipe the whole canister down with rubbing alcohol. Shake the spray can for a minute or two. Then paint the canister by holding the can 12 to 18 inches from it moving in slow parallel overlapping strokes. After you finish applying a coat let the paint dry until it s slightly tacky which should take about 15 30 minutes.

Step 4 place the ceramic piece in the open to air dry for several hours. Then apply an additional 1 3 coats of paint until it is completely coated. To apply the strips of stencils either rely on a keen eye like i did or bring out a ruler to check as you go. You can paint the canister first or simply apply craft glue to the outside of the canister and sprinkle on your choice of glitter.

After running the canisters through the dishwasher i decided to give all the canisters a light sanding hoping it would make the paint stick to the glossy surface better. I don t think it did much good except to make sure the surfaces were really clean. Work slowly to blend it all together properly and allow it to dry completely before reusing the canister. Paint the entire ceramic piece using oil based paint or ceramic paint if available and a paint brush.

Spray 3 4 light coats of paint onto the primed ceramic. It helps to find the center of the top and mark it with a pencil which will wipe off before laying down your first strip. Mix together to match the exact color of the canister and then paint over the areas repaired. Apply the paint in zigzag lines all over the item including the top front and sides.

Set its lid atop the newspaper or inside.
