Yes ! Yes you can paint on a shell if your brush is thin , I tried it
Nothing; All paint is bad for crabs, so don't buy those pretty painted shells for your hermit crabs or a crab in a painted shell. They are cruelly forced into the painted shell and are more likely to die when you bring them home. Also, they will eat the paint when it chips off and die.
It is actually best to give them natural shells. While painted shells may seem fun and attractive to you, even paint that is labeled "non toxic" has not been tested for safety with hermit crabs. Hermit crabs tend to nibble on most everything in their environment. Imagine if you ate a whole bowl full of paint chips. Whether it was "non toxic" or not, it would probably still make you sick. Because hermit crabs eat such small amounts, a few nibbles of a paint chip would be like eating a bowl of paint chips for you. Nail polish is definitely unsafe for them, and acrylic paint isn't good either. If you own a hermit crab with a painted shell, offer him several different natural shells (which are much more beautiful) so he can move out. Once he does (and he was forced into that painted shell to begin with, they don't paint shells with crabs in them), remove the shell and don't let him have it back. You will likely find that the paint has already been chipping off.
Well, you can - but odds are that the new paint won't stick very well. Sand the surface down and use a good primer first.
No, you can not use house paint to paint an oven. You must use a high temperature paint

Acrylic paint is not toxic for hermit crabs. Although if and when you paint them make sure the shells are empty, do not paint on the bottom or in the inside of the shell, and last when you are finished painting it, let it sit for 5-10 days to let poison dry out.
