Choose a spray paint for a quick and easy finish. Apply 1-2 light coats of spray primer. Spray 3-4 light coats of paint onto the primed ceramic. Let the paint dry according to the directions.
For glossy and previously painted pieces of ceramic, opt for a ceramic or plastic-safe spray paint, which contain compounds that fuse to smooth surfaces. Use glossy spray paint for projects with more surface area where you want easy, even coverage with a minimal amount of work. If the ceramic isn't already white, choose a ceramic-safe primer. Shake the can for 15-30 seconds before spraying the surface of the ceramic with a light coat. Then, let the coat dry for 2-3 hours, and then apply an additional coating of primer for more coverage. Apply the paint in zigzag lines all over the item, including the top, front, and sides. After you finish applying a coat, let the paint dry until it's slightly tacky, which should take about 15-30 minutes. Then, apply an additional 1-3 coats of paint until it is completely coated. Place the painted item in a well-ventilated area to dry for 30 minutes to 1 hour. When you think the paint is dry, lightly touch an inconspicuous spot, like the back or bottom of the item, to ensure that the paint is completely cured.
