Enamle. i'd suggest silicon sand fire fused Enamle:

Wight sand-1 1/2 cups (hardwear store)

red: iron oxide- 1 cup (pottery shop) green/blue: copper oxide- 1 cup (pottery shop)

salt- 1/4 cup (walmart)

baking soda- 1/4 cup (walmat)

DUBBLE CHECK FINISH! suface finish HAS TO BE ROUGH!

PS: this mode of Coloring will ruin your temper
