Articles like [this one](https://www.ehow.com/info_12168098_kind-paint-use-paint-mugs.html) are confusing me, so I wanted to find some experts to ask for clarification. I want to paint the outside of the mug in whatever way is necessary to ensure that it lasts as long as possible and is dishwasher safe, within the limits of not having any equipment like a kiln. I have [this mug](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B088T1HCB6/). \r\n\r\nI have two questions. Some articles say to sand the glazed ceramic first, whereas others don't say to. Some articles say to spray a clear coat like [this one](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00397STRW/) after painting, and some say to bake it in an oven (with some, like the article linked above, saying both). \r\n\r\nTo sand, or not to sand? To spray, to bake, or both?","subreddit_name":"Ceramics","author":"ThatChristianGuy316"},{"body":"Try amazon smile to donate to a charity of your choice automatically at no cost to you!  \r\n[https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B088T1HCB6/](https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B088T1HCB6/)  \r\n^^^I'm ^^^a ^^^bot ^^^and ^^^this ^^^action ^^^was ^^^performed ^^^automatically.","subreddit_name":"Ceramics","author":"CharitableLinkBot"}]}
