How can you colour white paint for plastic?
Has anyone ever added colour to paint for plastics? I want to do a flower design and am too cheap to buy colours when I only need a little bit. Tip: you can add colour (use kids paints) to exterior white paint for bird house decoration and it weathers fine outside.

What kind of colours are you referring to?
I have some oil paint in different colours, if I could just add a little to make a grey or off white then I could use them for shading on a daisy. I have a plastic table that I just use for crafts that are done outside - it's old but useful, the trouble is where to store it. I though that if i did some art on it then we could hang it on the fence
Hi Leslie, Use Food colouring!
Leslie....I would try food coloring too!
I would use artist acrylics. Just buy the primary colors and create your own variety.
Thanks everyone I am going to try these suggestions and hopefully find one that will stick.
