Paint for Lunch box

Some ladies have said to use MM paint.
Is this just acrylic paint? 'Cause I have lots of acrylic, but is MM different and adhere better?

oh sorry, I didn't make myself clear-I mean to paint the lid!

I used acrylic paint on one I did and then covered it with decoupage so the paint wouldn't scratch off.

Roberta,

MM paint is by Making Memories. It's acrylic paint with a lower water content so it doesn't wrinkle paper. If you're painting on the metal, any acrylic paint should be fine. But like SusanP said, you'll want to coat it afterward so the paint doesn't scratch off.

Hi, I'm not exactly new to this technique. The best I've used on metal or glass or plastic is enamel paint from Donna Dewberry's One Stroke Painting. You can get this at Michaels, AC Moore and Garden Ridge. Oh, Wal-Mart sells it too! It's about $2 a bottle, but really works!!Q!

yep, I knew what it stood for, but couldn't find any. I guess I'll have to travel to JoAnns or order online. They have so many color families, I didn't know which match SU the best.
And like I said, I have a lot of acrylic paint, but did want to be careful so I don't ruin my beautious tin!
