Pébéo Ceramic paint set, 6 or 12 × 20 ml

Give a terracotta pot, ceramic ornament or decorative panel an opaque, glossy lacquer finish. Pébéo Ceramic is solvent-based colour paint that dries in air. Choose one paint set, rather than a medium or a kiln glaze. Brushes, a support, thinner and any primer are needed separately.

Prepare the surface and test your colours

Degrease smooth surfaces with soapy water or alcohol and let them dry. On porous terracotta, first apply a suitable pore-filling primer and leave it for 24 hours. On a test piece of the same material, paint three small areas: one light colour, one dark colour and a narrow gold border. Compare coverage and gloss after drying before arranging the pattern around your pot. Load the brush lightly on curved shapes to help prevent drips.

Mix colours together to create your own shades. Use only suitable Ceramic/Vitrail thinner to make the paint more fluid, rather than water. Leave the work to air dry; Ceramic must not be baked. Thickness and conditions affect drying time. Gently hand-wash dry decorations without soaking. Keep them for decorative purposes, rather than everyday use, and do not paint food-contact areas.
