How to Paint Over Porcelain Lamps

[joannakrup]

If you would like to paint over a porcelain lamp, consider some important points before you begin the application process. Porcelain lamps are nonporous, a characteristic that leaves them poorly suited for paint adhesion. You must condition the lamp, using friction-based abrasion techniques, or the new finish will ultimately flake and shed. In addition, you should apply a specific type of paint, engineered to promote an attractive sheen and strong durability, or you will ultimately end up with a disappointing finish that won't last.
