acrylic teeth paints?

[steveo]

Hi, I'm looking to paint some acrylic teeth that will be in someone's mouth and didn't know what types of paints I could use that will not harm or be ingested by the person. I got some acrylic teeth stain from Monster Makers and it's not really what I was looking for. I need to actually "paint" the teeth and gums. I also don't have the time to order anything, so I was wondering if there was anything I could pick up from Hobby Lobby or Michaels type places that I could use. These need to be finished by Monday so I'm kind of on a deadline. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I can't really help you with what to use but I can say be careful if you try acrylic paints on the teeth - some of the acrylics (cadmium colours in particular - cad red, cad yellow, cad orange) are toxic when ingested.

Thanks for the reminder. I forgot about those being toxic. I went ahead and used acrylic paints, then covered the entire set with the stain. I figured the stain would seal the paints and keep them from being ingested.

Try doing a search for coloured tooth enamel rather than non-toxic acrylic paints. My partner costumes as Darth Maul and the enamel works great for him, and rubs off at the end of the day (touch-ups may be required during the day)
