Can You Spray Paint Ceramic Lamps

This is what the finished product looks like.

Can you spray paint ceramic lamps. Spray paint is the quickest method of painting and is available in a wide variety of colors to fit your needs. I am still playing with what size and color of lamp shade will look best. This my friends is my post on how you are not supposed to paint a ceramic lamp. Once the primer is fully dry apply the color you wish onto the ceramic.

Forget to take photos of this part because it takes three days to complete because you keep forgetting that you are in the middle of a super important lamp project and only remember when you walk past it on the front porch. Spray paint your lamp. Overall i m pretty happy with the lamp for 10 and a can of spray paint. Whether you want to update an old ceramic lamp or change the style of a secondhand ceramic lamp you purchased at a thrift store paint affords you the ability to create a design that will blend with your color scheme.

I thought this to be a simple spray painting job. Before you spray paint ceramic of any kind you want to make sure the pieces are cleaned thoroughly. Our primer gave the ceramic a dull surface with a fine texture that is perfect for the paint to stick onto. Your pitchers are much improved haha.

Apply three coats of summer squash spray paint to your primed lamp. My biggest project so far was two big beautifully shaped but hideous butterscotch colored lamps for my living room. Porcelain lamps are nonporous a characteristic that leaves them poorly suited for paint adhesion. So if you have something glossy ceramic around your house that could be spruced up with a coat of spray paint then don t hesitate to try it.

You must condition the lamp using friction based abrasion techniques or the new finish will ultimately flake and shed. Generally you want to spray in light even coats waiting a few minutes in between each coat.
