I want to paint some plates and hang them on the wall how do i paint them?

You can go to pottery glazing places, they will sell you the greenware and you can paint the plates whatever colour you want, they fire them and you pick them up some time later.I want to paint some plates and hang them on the wall how do i paint them?
easiest way is to use spray cans ---lovely colours no clean up work and can be bought cheaply from discount stores but you may need identity proof to stop graffiti artists from purchasing. Best way to spray is to use large cardboard box and to give a number of light sprays so that you do not have runs. Follow direction on can as can get blocked but easy to unblock with a pin and turning can upside down and blowing a bit of cleaning air after each use.I want to paint some plates and hang them on the wall how do i paint them?
