Hi, Just curious what kind of paint you use in these cups. Thanks.

I use tempera paint. You can get it on line or at a teaching supply store or web site or even at Walmart. It comes in liquid form in a choice of many colors. It also comes in a powder form that can be mixed with water to the consistency needed. When using the powder it is best to mix it with liquid starch. Because the starch is thick you can conserve on the powder. Poster paint is also OK. If the paint is to be used by small children it is best to make it thick enough to prevent it running down the easel.

To me they seem 50/50 red/orange. The accompanying image for these dishes gives a fairly true depiction of their colour.. Perhaps the cups aren't quite as orange as the image.

Acrylic. None of the paint sets from Dimensions are Oil as far as I've seen.

These are not painted, they are colored glass. However, the glass will chip if dropped.

I used a sponge brush. That way you won't see any brush strokes. Unless you're painting a wall or large surface, pick a size that will go with the item you're painting. Coffee mugs, glasses or picture frames would take a smaller sponge brush. And definitely use the painter's tape so that you don't get the paint where you don't want it. It'll save a lot of time of work later trying to scrape it off. The coffee mugs I did for Valentine's Day are still holding up just great. You're only limited as to what your imagination comes up with. Hope you have fun with it!

I haven't measured but I'd say a cup. They are a good size. One person commented that it was hard to get the paint out of the smaller containers sold in a 10 pack by crayola. That's when I decided to use these containers as caddies to hold the smaller containers. The lids are airtight so you could probably fill these from larger containers of paint and store the paint right in these cups

I believe the mugs are solid copper because the inside AND outside of the mugs appear the same color and react the same to various liquids (spotting occurs if not dried completely...just like copper. Cleans beautifully when polished with copper polish.

I believe porcelain enamel. Hopefully this is what you were looking for!! :)

They are mega shiny. Although mine has stained and the way suggested to clean wont work. I haven't looked hard for other cleaning methods but, I love this cup. Keeps cold drinks so, very, Cold.

Use the paint color you choose then use a complimentary glaze over that. A good paint store can help you with the technique.

These are great paints,yrs out should work if the plastic is not overly glossy.

The colors i recieved were more of a 'pastel' colored. The colors i got are Pastel: green, yellow, purple, white, blue and just 1dark red. The pic shows 'bold' colors. also individually wrapped. they are opaque but translucent enough that you can see the bobas when they are in the straw, which i like. I like that the end you put in the cup is cut on the diagnal to allow bobas into the straw. I have had straws at restaurants that were flush on both making it difficult to enjoy the drink. And at 50 straws... boba for days :)

This is a better question for the manufactor ... However, we used regular wall paint and no stains or schlacs because we didn't want the boards to be too slippery. They seem to be in the same condition we received them in for now, as for cleveland weather wear and tear - it remains to be seen :) we still LOVE them and the paint we used has kept them in the same great quality as how they originally came

Nope. They are really beautifully hand painted/glazed. Have mind about 1 1/2 years now, and never had any problems.

They are completely air tight. My daughter has had paint in the cups since December 23rd and the paint hasn't dried up yet

hey Tracey, I bought the oil based sharpies and have been fairly pleased with them. especially on mugs. I also painted on wine glasses and was fairly pleased with results

I'm sorry we do not paint the items. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you or if you have any questions. Sincerely, Briana
