I bought a lamp at a garage sale - great price, bad color. The lamp
is ceramic, glossy finish. I would like to paint it another color
using spray paint.

I have a nearly new can of Kiltz spray sealer, oil based, for use on
drywall, wood, metal and other shiny finishes. It is for covering
stains and stuff. Will that work as a base coat for what I want? I
could spray it on and after it dries, spray with semi-gloss finish
paint.

If that will not work - what should I look for. Thanks.

spray shellac maybe? it sticks to most anything, and most anything else
sprayed on it can stick.

if the object is too shiny, a quick hit with a sandblaster will give paint
some tooth to stick to.


Howdy,

The OP mentions "Kiltz" but I assume that is "Kilz."

If so, it is shellac...

All the best,

maybe. some kilz is not shellac based. OP stated "Kiltz spray sealer, oil
based". oil based pretty much leaves out shellac. the base for shellac is
alcohol, which wouldn't play well with oil.
