Question
I'd like to change the color of my existing canisters that are in good shape.  I wash them by hand.  Can I use acrylic craft paint or do I need to use ceramic enamel paint?  Thanks for your help. KJ

Answer
Karen,
If your canisters are ceramic glazed and glossy, the challenge is to get the paint to stick well. You could go to a pottery studio & reglaze them & refire them. You can use paint or enamel, just make sure that you seal it well. There are ceramic spray sealers. Most available at your local ceramic supply.
