Hi everyone!

I found a thrift shop that sells ceramic swan figurines that are close to what I’m looking for as a wedding cake topper. The only issue is they’re pink and blue, and I’d really love them in white.

I only have about a week to get this done, so I’m looking for the easiest and quickest method. My main concern is keeping (or recreating) that glossy ceramic finish, something that still looks smooth and a bit “porcelain-like,” not matte or chalky.

Does anyone have experience repainting glossy ceramic?

Do I need to sand or use a primer, or can I get away with just spray paint?

What kind of paint/finish would give the best glossy result?
