So I have these hotel schampoo bottles which would be great to film with paint for airburshing and other stuff. But it's sealed. How do I fill it?

With a syringe? If it has a thin tip (and no needle so you can have a decent flow), you could probably fill that bottle through the hole.

With a syringe through the open part, otherwise, you have to cut it open and reseal it with heat (which might mess the paint up). See if the open part is in two seperate parts. Some are made like that as well, and you just pop the inner ring out of the outer one

I wouldn't. The reason we can put fluid into bottles is the opening is big enough to allow air to exit past the paint. With this you'll be fighting the air, and it won't be efficient or clean. You'll waste a lot of paint trying to fill it.

If the hole isn't big enough to fit a decent sized syringe, you probably don't want to put paint in it.

Also making sure it is cleaned out before putting paint through it might be tricky.

Agreed, not worth it.
