    What do I need to paint terra cotta pots with to insure that they can be used outside? Can I use enamel paint or outdoor paint, and if I do what would I spray it with for waterproofing?

    Sand away any rough spots or loose clay particles on the rim, bottom edge, and outside of the pot.


    Seal the INSIDE with a water-based polyurethane or craft acrylic sealant.Paint the OUTSIDE with acrylic or latex paint -2-3 coats-let dry.

    Then seal the outside with a water based polyurethane 2-3 coats.
