So cuuuute! I like patchy stuff, and this is soft too. :3

Interestingly enough, after all the abuse I've heaped on the toy, as far as inflate / deflate squash / stretch, the test patches are holding up remarkably well. (Outside of when I deliberately washed them off with alcohol...) that will be in page two... =^^=

Thank you so much. :3

The paint I used is Apple Barrel paint. It is an acrylic type of paint. The middle of the three bottles I have pictured.

All three paints that I tested are acrylic type. Since Arcylics in general are water based, they had the least probability (in my opinion) of damaging the toy.

I used an airbrush instead of a paintbrush when I painted the black, as it allowed me to paint the larger area more evenly. But the black paint is still the Apple Barrel brand. I got it at Walmart.

Here's the company's website: https://plaidonline.com/brands/appl.....el-craft-paint

The airbrush I used was a cheap model like this: https://www.amazon.com/Badger-Air-Brush-250-1-Basic-Spray/dp/B000BPZ536/ref=sr_1_10?crid=3P63YFW591B91&keywords=airbrush+external+mix&qid=1559680344&s=gateway&sprefix=airbrush+external+mix%2Caps%2C125&sr=8-10

I had it hooked up to a big air compressor, though which allowed me to spray a thicker paint. A lower pressure system might require more thinning of the paint with water or alcohol.

Does that help? =^^=

You're welcome!

And good luck! =^^=
