What kind of paint will stick to a milk carton?
When it comes to painting, there are many different factors to consider. One of the most important is the type of surface you’re painting on. Some surfaces are more difficult to paint than others, and some paints are better suited for certain surfaces than others.
If you’re trying to paint a milk carton, you may be wondering if any type of paint will stick to it. The answer is, it depends. Some paints will stick to a milk carton better than others, but in general, most paints will stick to it to some degree.
If you’re looking for a paint that will stick to a milk carton the best, you’ll want to use a spray paint. Spray paints are specifically designed to stick to difficult surfaces, and they work very well on milk cartons. If you’re not using a spray paint, you’ll want to use a paint that is specifically meant for plastic.
In general, most paints will stick to a milk carton to some degree. However, it’s important to keep in mind that the paint may not last as long as it would on a different surface. Milk cartons are not the most durable surface, so the paint may start to chip or peel relatively quickly.
