Hi all Been looking for a white Tupperware coffee cup and finally found a white one. I had to buy the whole set of 4. Might paint one or two. What paint does anyone suggest that's safe for food. Thanks |

Hi propmaniac, are you looking to only paint the outside of the cup or also the inside. This may have an impact on what paints you could use. |

I have three so far. Need to find a good permanent way to get the logo on there… |

Are you offering, Adam? I also have some red ones I had to buy in the lot that I have for sale currently, but I could pull the ad and experiement with those... I was thinking some light blue ones with a white logo too... When I was making guitars, our logo was applied with a custom dry-transfer sheet. I wonder if anyone makes custom dry transfer any longer... but they would need to be sealed, or they will scratch off. |

I also found a few of the white cups which I intend for actual use. I'm getting dishwasher safe stickers made; the only disadvantage is their material may be a bit thicker than screen accurate. |

Ooooooh! Have you thought about offering those stickers in your store? I don't reckon you'd sell many, but it'd be cool nonetheless (and I'd buy a couple). |

I used a white original tupperware cup. I used waterslide decals for the wings emblem |

I wonder if a satin crystal clear over the waterslide (and cup) would provide durability... I had compatibility issues with water slid and clear coats over the top, so there would need to be some testing done, but it looks great. I have some decal softener, for models, that helps with conformity. The decal would follow every bump in the surface perfectly... |

Looks great! Curious, do these mugs do well with coffee? |

They were made for coffee, but the white ones do tend to get stained after a while. |
