Hi, I would try spray painting it with paint that is made for ceramics. White or beige would be elegant and updated.
Hello, consider using spray paint. Spray paint now have paint and primer formulations that have outstanding coverage and durability.
Here are some other spray painting tips. Hope this helps.
Rustoleum recommendations
PREPARE:
Always work in a well-ventilated area. Cover the floor and nearby items with a drop cloth. Lightly scuff any glossy surfaces and wipe clean with a lint-free cloth. Use Painter’s tape to hide any surfaces you don’t want to paint.
PAINT:
Using slow, back-and-forth motions, spray paint each item with several light coats of spray paint, making sure to overlap each stroke slightly. Apply 2-3 coats of spray paint, waiting a few minutes in between each coat.
FINISH:
Let spray paint dry for approximately 1 hour before handling.
Tip: Use of 2X Ultra Cover Primer in White provides better paint coverage and color.
