From what I've read, you are able to paint these with regular acrylic paints and seal them with clear coat and do not need to fire them.

This low-fire clay must be bisque fired in a kiln to 05 which is very hot, around 1800-1900 degrees, and a gas oven will not reach those temperatures. You would then need to glaze the bisqueware and refire it in the kiln to make it waterproofed. The glaze must be a low fire glaze .

With the proper primer, yes. I did not paint my product. But I use to be a professional painter. Kilz is a good primer to use. It is sold in an aerosol can or paint can be brushed on. it all depends on what you're using it for

If your paint is in good condition, go straight to paint sealant/glaze then wax. If your paint is in bad shape, use a swirl remover, then go to the paint sealant/glaze, then wax.

I did not use the glaze. I tried it on an inner shelf and it really didn't look much different so I chose not to use it at all. The protective coat makes a nice shine though.

I bought the paint to use on a plastic model car. I haven't tried it on ceramics. But here is the Testors website.http://www.testors.com/pages/help-and-support/faqs/general-questions/General Questions:4. Can you bake the enamel or acrylic paint?"We do not recommend that the enamel paints be placed in any oven or kiln at any temperatures, due to performance and safety issues. Enamels are considered Flammable/Volatile materials and do have a flash point. We also do not recommend the baking of the Acrylics, which are certified non-toxic, however they were never designed with the idea of baking in mind and we cannot be held responsible for the outcome."

Acrylic and lacquer are totally different items so find out which it is first. If it is a true lacquer I would be hesitant to use it.find out about your current finish and contact the manufacturer.

Sorry-- I do not know the answer. You should ask a painter or someone with more expertise.

Yes you can . Wall paint is acrylic based just like these craft paint are .

I painted another kit with model paint spray cans. It can be done, but I would recommend looking at quite a bit of tutorials before you try it.

You could just paint but the first coat will absorb into the wood and your painting won't be on the surface. I would do either one coat of gesso first or and all over coat of acrylic first.

I'm not 100% sure what to tell you... it really depends on what you are doing...I make 3-D surfboards, snowboards and skateboards using bake-able Sculpey clay. For the parts of the board that I use the clay on, I absolutely use the "Sculpey glaze" but for the rest of the board I just use a polyurethane or exterior gloss varnish depending on whether it is meant for indoor or out door. Best bet is to use the recommended product for the medium. There is nothing worse than creating something great, and then "F-in" it up because you did not use the materials which were recommended! Hope this helps.

Yes, regular spray paint from your local hardware store is the easiest that I have found, especially if you are bad with paintbrushes. Also, you can use an airbrush if you have one, but the spray paint should work well, though it will look better the more coats you put on it and I have also found that it looks nicer if you prime it before you paint, even if the spray paint says 2-n-1. The flames come in the kit as decals. You cut out the flames and stick them in water until they separate from the paper and then stick them on the model. You also need glue for this kit.

as long as the glaze is intact I can't think of any problem with what you want to do. if you have to move it while in use, keep in mind it will be heavy and if your seal leaks the sides may be slick. I would not hesitate to use it for peaches. go for it. good luck and enjoy

Well it's a paint product - so if you can paint it you can use it. I'm not sure you will like the results - it's really just a sparkly grey paint. I'm happy with it as I updated an old harvest yellow refrigerator - but that's about it. Sparkly grey paint.

This sort of clay body should be fired to cone 06 (bisque) before glazing or painting. When you say oven I suspect you do not mean kiln. Conventional ovens will not get to adequate temperatures to fire this clay. If you simply want to dry it and accept that it will remain forever incredibly fragile and water soluble then I would just slowly air dry it. Rapid drying in the oven or in the sun will dry it unevenly and cause cracks. Let it dry with a sheet of plastic loosely over it. A better solution would be to put it in a kiln and fire it up to 06 or 04 (1830-1940 degrees F). Then seal before painting. Good luck!

You should be able to. As with all paint projects, you're going to have to do the necessary preparation(sanding/cleaning) of the parts your are going to paint.
