Reel Creations Bodyart Ink/paint

Just in case anyone is in need of paint that won’t sweat off or rub off when larping :slight_smile:

I have teflon skin, apparently, and I have not had any luck with any sort of water based or wax based body paint system even with sealers. I resorted to PAX, which is essentially coloured glue, earlier this year and it worked out well: neimhaille.tumblr.com/tagged/darth%20tykhi

But it was near impossible to take off and the product to take it off is rather more expensive than the paint…

So I had emailed Fred and Tracey Blau of Reel Creations (they supplied the paint for many aliens in the Star Wars prequels) and asked about customs and shipping to NZ for their product. Sadly the red tape to get the inks into NZ is rather more than I can deal with, but they do now offer full sized palettes of one colour that can be shipped with zero issues to NZ!
I have 4 of these palettes and each one is able to paint a full body. Each palette is $US12.50 and shipping is fast and really not expensive considering.

This stuff paints, sponges and airbrushes just like their inks when reconstituted with Isopropyl alcohol (or grain alcohol).

They are not on the website yet but the colour charts are and so are the email addresses to order by email:

Topmark supplies Latona’s Inks which is super hard wearing to the point I had difficulty taking it off even with more IA and cold cream and cloth and soap… It’s great though and I intend on getting a few more colours of this as well :slight_smile:

I thought I’d let you guys know as I am going to order more in the new year in shades of blue and yellow so I can almost mix my own colours.
