~~~~~ Needed Immediately: Info on Body Painting


hm1

Recommended Posts

<br>One of my models is leaving the country shortly and she likes to be painted

in gold for a photo shoot that's coming up in a few days. The idea just came up

and I only have a few days to get the paint (I have plenty of brushes, sponges

and other supplies but I can get any new items needed to do the job).</br>

 

<br>I'm an experienced painter and I've worked with a lot of different types of

paint but mostly on canvas, etc. I've never painted the entire body.</br>

 

<br>I need the following info:</br>

 

<BR> A. Name of brands / manufacturers that offer gold paint, (preferably

metallic) - </br>

 

 

<br>I'd like to get the type of paint that can be applied WITHOUT using an

airbrush (i.e. by brushes, sponges, or I could use safe, specialty-made spray

cans, if available.)</br>

 

<br>B. Local place in California (especially Bay Area/ North Calif.) that

sells them</br>

 

<br>C. Tips on Techniques</br>

 

<Br>D. Water based paint vs. grease-based paint</br>

 

<BR>E. How much paint would be needed to cover the entire body (she is slim but

tall)</br>

 

<br>Feel free to add anything else that you think might be helpful. </br>

 

<br>Thanks.</br><div>00MQYj-38284184.jpg.8d18d0533acf4b520817bcd222357566.jpg</div>

As for brands, I would suggest either Kryolan or Mehron.

Kryolan make a makeup that you add water and you can apply it with a sponge or a brush.

Mehron make a metallic powder that is added Mixing Liquid and you can apply it with a brush or by hand.

I prefer water based paints as they are easier to take off (just a bath).
