    NO, only oil based you should use are the type artist use that come in the tubes. put the wrong thing in to 350 degree plastic and you could be looking at a fire or worse

    That Paint tint for artists is not the same as color tint for plastic's, lots of differences. It would be better to hold off and use the correct coloring for what your working with. Something goes wrong and it's not just fire you could be looking at but very severe burns to yourself or anyone around you. Burns are not good, they hurt for a very long time, and leave scars that never go away...

    I have used oil paint the type that artist used for painting pictures in hot plastic it works fine a little bit goes a long way of thing about that is they have many different shades go to a craft store and you will see a ton of colors to pick from.

    a word of caution if you are experimenting with different types of coloring to add into hot plastic make sure it does not have a water base.
