[quote=“joker”]It’s worth doing a test…
You want as little paint as possible in the latex otherwise it alters the properties too much.
So it’s a balance between the paint needed to colour it sufficiently, and keeping the properties of the latex you need.
What’s it for BTW? If it’s for a prosthetic, you really want the absolute minimum of paint to retain translucency, and colour the rest with makeup.
For weapons, yes, you want it pretty opaque.
But write it all down! With the results. Otherwise you won’t be able to replicate it later on…
That’s been my mistake too many times.[/quote]
Mostly for a weapon, I do plan to document the entire process, so I can put it online somewhere for other peoples reference.
Although I will transfer a little bit to a small container for mask blending. I plan to put the latex on first, then paint/blend in with colour afterwards.
