Paint under plasticote?

[rachierelish]

Was just wondering if I could use acrylic paint under clear plasticote?
Has anyone tried this? Or would it be safer to just stick to the plasticote alone?

Thanks!!

I'd say if you wanted colour just get a coloured plastikote x

It's best just to use coloured plastikote paint instead. You don't really want to be using other paints that may not be pet safe in case the hamster chews on the painted area

Acrylic paints are a safe paint as they are water based. Putting plastikote clear on will just put a shine on it and protect it a bit more. I paint the things I make with acrylic watercolour paints but dont put clear on.
