Painting pots

I bought some brightly coloured terracotta pots a couple of years ago and they now look unsightly with the paint peeling off.
Can I repaint them? If so, what type of paint?

Hi there - we painted a load of pots with masonry paint and they have come up well. We managed to paint wood, teracotta, plastic and metal pots and they all look really nice (and it hasn't come off in the rain :rotfl:)0

Depends how bright and/or shiny you want them! I've used car spray paint on some old pots I had...plenty of colours to choose from

Well car paint is fairly resistant! I didn't bother with primer as they were plain terracota pots, just gave them a good scrub beforehand to make sure the surface was clean.0
