Answers:    Painting Ceramic materials is not similar to painting houses using unexciting latex or acrylic paints.

theres a paint you can use for stoneware objects. if the ceramics is already glazed it's hard to paint it again. perchance you can try flat latex paint . do it with not so dilluted paint your ceramics after spray it clear varnish to protect your design .
