1 Hour Makeover – Spray Painting Ceramic Pots

DIY

Let’s say you see these cute outdoor cushions and you decide to change the look of your deck or patio this summer, but now all of your ceramic planters clash with the new cushions. Buying new ones that will match is most likely not in the budget. Don’t fret, because I have a super easy 1 hour makeover for you! We are going to be spray painting ceramic pots today!

Spray Painting Ceramic Pots

Step 1) The first step is to clean off the glazed ceramic pots/planters really well then make sure they are totally dry.

Step 2) (affiliate product links provided) Pick a color, any color. I chose Rust-Oleum Painter’s Touch Multi Purpose Spray Paint Paint + Primer in one, in a gloss finish, in candy apple red and navy blue to coordinate with the red, white, and blue coastal patio theme I have going on this summer. Set out a drop cloth to paint on. I recommend spray painting on a cloudy day or in the shade. Do not spray paint the pots if they are in direct blazing sun and are heating up. If you do, then you will end up with bubbles and peeling paint in a few days.

Step 3) Hold the can approximately 12 inches away and with a sweeping motion, apply the paint in several LIGHT coats, allowing several minutes of drying time between coats. Don’t forget to spray the top couple inches inside the pot also. Allow for the paint to fully dry (about 1 hour).

This pic below is what the green pot looked like before and then after painting. Note: That weird looking stuff inside is spray styrofoam filler. It used to hold an artificial tree, that is until I ripped it out and turned it into a side table. 😉

    Hello there Susan. Beautiful patio theme….Loving how the red pop’s against the blue! What an inspiration….painted ceramic pots. Just curious as to how the paint has held up after sun, rain, etc. I have 4 pots I’d love to spray paint. Thanks for your time & help.
    Cheers,
    Suzanne

      Hi Suzanne! Great question! I kept all the pots, except for one, outside all winter. I should have brought them in. We only had a few nights that dropped into the teens and that freezing and thawing seemed to make the paint peel. Now the one I had in the garage (not heated) did just fine. But they survived fabulous, through sweltering hot temps and crazy thunderstorms all year up until that freeze this February. So if you get snow or below freezing temps, then bring them in and they should be fine. Hope that helps!
