Do you need special paint for a plastic sun catcher?

Question

I bought some for a craft and dont know what paint you need to use to make it work/stay on, etc.

Answer 1

I bought a kit that had the paint/dye in it. It was more runny than paint. You just put a drop onto the area where you want the color. You don't actually "paint" it on. I'd check at a craft store. I found mine at Pat Catan's.

My three year old caught on quickly, and her suncatcher, although the colors were swirled, came out beautifully. (I helped her too.)

Answer 2

The paint needs to be translucent to allow the sun to "shine through". Check at a Craft store for it.

Answer 3

craft stores have glass paint for suncatchers. you can get it pretty cheap if you buy a kit (yes it can be used, even with the plastic)
