Also, I bought Krylon color max paint and primer flat black. The hardware store employee told me to sand the glossy pot first, clean them then spray paint
That hardware store employee is completely right! This website goes into more detail on the process of and supplies needed for repainting already glazed pots: bit.ly/3C32iaV Hope it helps :)
Gently sand that area and then spray paint over it again (I've tried it once for a massive drip, but I only did that before sealing the paint. Once it's sealed, I don't think it'll be that easy or look nice).
Sorry for the late answer, but I think it'd be fine to seal them after, though, they may not last as long. Since terracotta is an absorbent material, it could crack the paint later on if you don't seal it before painting.
In order for paint and primer to not peel off or be ruined in the future you will have to seal the entire pot inside and out. This takes away the ability of the pot to breathe and moisture wick which terracotta does naturally. While painting will not harm the plants, the pot will not breathe or moisture wick so keep that in mind.
Thanx. Will definitely try

@@InnominateKraken awesome article ! Thank you
Hello, I have pots that are already glossed painted white and I want to spray paint flat black. Suggestions?
how does one polish or even out paint areas where we might have sprayed a little too much?
Gently sand that area and then spray paint over it again (I've tried it once for a massive drip, but I only did that before sealing the paint. Once it's sealed, I don't think it'll be that easy or look nice).
Is it a problem if i didnt glaze them before painting them? I plan to glaze them after..

Is it dangerous to the plant??
Nope!
