I would like to print logo or designs in a plastic cup using the silk screen method. What is the name, brand, supplier of the ink or paint that is usually used in the printing plastic cups. Where can i find them?What is the name, kind, brand of ink or paint that is used in the printing of plastic cups?
I really don't know how to help you, but I can tell you this; inks for printing on materials like that have to be EPA safe, and are made specifically not to be poisonous if it is accidentally ingested, even in tiny amounts, so it would have to be organic based. These kinds of inks dry on a surface in a couple of seconds, when exposed to a strong UV light source. Try doing a web search on commercial printing inks, ink for silk screening, or a few similar listings. You should be able to find a printing company you can contact and ask who their ink supplier is. Good luck!

You cannot easily paint Polyethylene, Polypropylene or of course many other plastics including Teflon.
You can paint vinyl.
So if your plastic is one of the above, forget painting it and go to glazing it with a Polymer type finish that is used on automobiles to restore their luster and can be purchased at Walmart.Can anyone recommend a high quality clear coat spray paint that can be used on plastic?
How about a '; Laquer?';
If you sand the item between coats with a wet sandpaper like 800 grit it will bring up the shine. Reg spray paint (not just the ';special plastic paint'; will work on plastic as well. You may have put on too thick of a coat also, do very thin coats.

I will not be painting the inside of it so the dog won't even be in contact with the paint.I have a dog kennel I want to paint the outside of, I'm assuming it's plastic, what type of paint can I use

What kind of permanent marker or paint will work well on a child's plastic bucket?

What paint to use on plastic?
I am painting my cousins plastic trunk before she goes off to camp. I outlined everything in pencil and I was wondering what kind of paint I should use so it doesn't chip off the trunk? The trunk is pink and plastic, the surface is rough as well. Any ideas?What paint to use on plastic?
I just checked out ';paints for plastic'; at the hardware store yesterday. I found a whole line of them (by Rustoleum).
http://www.rustoleum.com/CBGProduct.asp?鈥?/a>
I purchased only their ';Primer'; for myself though since I'm not sure what color I want to put on top (or may even used Contact paper, etc, instead of paint).
http://www.rustoleum.com/CBGProduct.asp?鈥?/a>
(...looks like the primer also comes in a regular can, not spray:
http://www.rustoleum.com/CBGProduct.asp?鈥?/a> )
There are instructions on the can for preparing the plastic for best adhesion of the paint.
If you're looking for paints to paint with using small brushes, etc., though, you can use various paints on top of their dried primer or on top of any color of their plastic paint.
Or perhaps ';glass paints'; would stick to rough plastic (but I think they're usually translucent?), etc.
For using *directly* on the plastic though, you'd need to watch out for using paints with petroleum solvents in them (some are called ';enamels';) if you didn't seal/prime the surface first because those can begin to dissolve the plastic over time--making it sticky, then eventually melty and yukky.
Since you've *already* marked the pattern, using a spray paint will be more difficult, though you could mask off areas around your lines perhaps as part of the solution.
Or you could trace your lines onto netting or that very-thin-see-through pattern-making sheeting from the fabric store, then redraw the pattern onto the trunk after applying and drying the plastic paint or primer (right through the netting or sheeting).
Or you could use one of the other ';transfer'; methods that use graphite pencils, or transfer papers (like those for drafting or for sewing), etc.

How about plastic model paints? (i.e., paints for a plastic model)

Why does paint comes in metal can instead of plastic containers?
Why is paint comes in metal can instead of plastic containers, Wht would happen if it would be sold in plastic containers?Why does paint comes in metal can instead of plastic containers?
Some paint DOES come in plastic containers. Wal-Mart, Menard's, and a few other places sell their inexpensive brands in plastic. HD sells their Behr paint in a plastic can with a metal rim at the top.
