It is spray paint. Krylon. We prime first. Spray on the color. Then put a clear protection coat on. We have also painted quite a few rocks into 'bugs' and some just with designs. We put them into flower pots. The paint washes off when they get watered if you don't use the clear.
Plus it makes it shine.
