Ceramic flower pots are known as earthenware. They are made of clay which is hardened by firing them at a high temperature in a kiln. Ceramic pots are usually fired again with a glaze and those are they type you usually purchase in a garden center. Unglazed pots are available at craft stores. The steps below explain how to paint both glazed pots you have on hand that you want to spruce up and unglazed ceramic flower pots. Use a hose or your kitchen faucet to rinse your ceramic pot inside and out.

Scrub it with detergent and water using a scrub brush or abrasive pad. You can also use an old toothbrush to clean underneath the lip of the pot.

Rinse the pot well inside and out.

Set the pot in the sun and allow it to dry thoroughly.

Purchase glossy interior/exterior spray paint 200 grit sandpaper paintbrushes and a can of latex primer.

Put the pot outside on a table preferably on a day that is not windy or rainy. Put a piece of cardboard plastic sheeting or some newspapers on the table to protect it from the paint.

Sand the pot with sandpaper just enough to roughen up the glossy surface.

Wipe the pot down with a clean damp cloth.

Apply the primer with a brush and let it dry thoroughly. Latex primer adheres well to roughed up ceramic. You can apply a second coat of primer to make sure you have perfect coverage. Let all coats dry completely.

Read the directions on the can before you begin painting. You usually need to shake the can vigorously first.

Spray the interior of the pot using even sweeping strokes.

Allow the inside paint to dry thoroughly. If you dont want to apply color to the inside turn the pot upside down and proceed with the next step.

Spray the exterior of the pot. Use sweeping motions so that the color goes on evenly.

Allow the pot to dry in the sun.

Save any leftover paint in case you need to do touch ups.

Wait at least 24 hours after painting before you repot your plant.Latex, Acrylic, and Epoxy paint are very good for ceramic products
