@SkyDiverLynx You can check the website for prices and to locate your local distributor. Psycho Paint is combined with silicone pigments to paint onto platinum silicone pieces, so you will want to make sure the piece you are painting is platinum-cured silicone.
This tutorial is by far superior than the crud I had to filter through for two months.
Can we get a brush on tutorial please? :)
@JorgeSTEELE It is generally easier to create darker colors on top of lighter colors, but we have seen hundreds of different techniques being used. It is possible, but might be challenging.
Generally any size can work. I would recommend a fairly simple airbrush such as a Paasche H. Cleaning the brush out before the silicone cures is recommended.
@justindcolvin If you cannot find it at your local hardware store, you could also use xylene or mineral spirits.
Our Rebound 25 silicone can be used to make the mold, then if you apply Ease Release 200 to the mold, You can cast another platinum silicone into it.
You can combine Cast Magic pearlescent powders with Psycho Paint for an iridescent effect.
@SmoothOnInc That explains the 2 part thing. Makes sense. Silicone bonds to silicone.
It is important to thoroughly clean any grease or release agent off the model before painting. Acetone followed by warm water with grease cutting dishwashing liquid works well.
Dry the model well because water prohibits cure.
Absolutely! Properly cleaning the model before painting is crucial. Thanks for watching.
@2degucitas Psycho Paint is actually a silicone rubber, which makes it ideal for painting a silicone casting.

If painting a mask, can you just use thinned dragon skin? Is there some benefit to using psycho paint vs the silicone used to make the mask? Thanks!
Our NOVOCS MATTE solvent will give a matte finish when combined with Psycho Paint. No sealer is necessary.
I love the 90s vibe 🎨😎
looks sweet! how will this stick on brake hoods for racing bikes?
We have a number of customers using Dragon Skin and Psycho Paint for silicone mermaid tails.
Smooth-On what all do I need to paint it I’ve got pigment and silicone caulk what thinner can I use a cheaper one
I've been airbrushing for years. All kinds of paints from acrylic to urethan as well as mehron make up. I use dual action gravity feed iwata's mostly.
I am curious about using silicone in my airbrush. I'd imagine even thinned it would still solidify and destroy the internal parts of my eclipse dual action. Is this why all the videos I see you guys are using an external mix airbrush? What also do you use to clean out the silicon? Is there even a dual action external brush made of good
Hi, does this paint have UAV filter? We would like to use it for the boat industry on flexible materials so it should have some tolerance to sun and sea water. Thanks
Run some of the solvent through the airbrush to clean it.
instead of adding a pigment color can you use oil based acrylic paint to the mix? or will it not hold onto the silicone surface?
Is Smooth-On Psycho Paint suited for soft TPE rubber?
Will this also be water resistant?
A client of mine wants a mermaid tail made and I want it to be chlorine and salt water resistant.
Thanks for the great products guys!
Someone tell me what the music in the video is? This is some bomb downtempo!
I know that but my question was if the psychopaint and Dragonskin are Chlorine and or Salt water resistant, or if it needs some sort of extra layer of protection ?
Is it ok to use just the Psycho Paint, SO-tint, and the pearlescent powders on a dragonskin mermaid tail to paint it?
Hey just found this video, I'm trying to find a way to paint a design onto a silicone phone case. Do you think this would work for something like that? Purely brushes, no airbrushing or spraying.
Do any of the Smooth On paint products for silicone rubbers irritate the skin?
how can i make my dragon skin mermaid tail iridescent ? does psycho paint have iridescent pigment?
How do you clean the airbrush after using Psycho Paint?
Can I apply this on a rubber part of a shoe and won't chip off wearing?
Prank idea:
1- till a few days before a friends birthday
2- make a cube out of silicone
3- paint the silicone cube to look like a hyper realistic present
4- make real presents with the same wrapping paper design as the fake
5- watch as to their surprise when they try to open a soft box
Thanks for watching. I guess we know who to stay away from on April 1st!
What size needle on the airbrush is used/needed?
how much it costs? i'm interested in paint which won't brake when applied to rubber
Hi, really great job. I tried to replicate it, with psycho paint 1A:1B and toulene 2part but something went wrong, the airbrush did not blow it....maybe too viscous? anyway do you use a specific nozzle diameter? maybe 0.02 is too little for silicone? many thanks

Should I clean the silicone surface first before painting? And would you recommend Naphtha or Toluene as a cleaning agent?
+Egghead Films this is a good idea, using either naphtha or toluene would be suitable.
It will be chlorine and salt resistant without any sort of coating.
so, is this a resin type paint?
Thanks. I'm making a platinum silicone head from a
polymer sculpt. Would you recommend Alja-Safe, Body
Double or silicone for making the mold?
Depends on how many castings you need the mold for. Aljasafe is a temporary mold, whereas body double will hold up to multiple castings
Hi, I'm using XTC-3D to paint aquarium back ground display, it's fish safe?
It is aquarium safe
I like hand brushing and I also can't find toluene is there something I can replace it with??
Our NOVOCS solvent is a zero-VOC solvent for Psycho Paint
I just got my Psycho paint and am playing with it. I noticed it dried with a glossy finish. And it looks like the projects in your video also have a gloss or satin sheen. How to I get a matte finish? I mix it wrong? It also was more translucent than I expected with the pigment added (but not so with your lizard tongue.) ???
debbie foster You might have to powder it.
What if I'm just brush painting it on? Do I need a thinner?
I wonder the sam
I need to paint the rubber to be chrome. Is there a way to prep silicone to get other paints to stick to your silicone products? Or can this psycho paint help the surface and help other paints to adhere?
No paint will stick to silicone except a silicone based paint like Psycho Paint.
@@smoothon so you cant paint over psycho paint?
Correct. Normal acrylic, latex, or other paints will not bond to a silicone surface.
What if I’m hand painting do I have to use a thinner as well or solvent for silicone paints ??
It would probably help to thin a bit with NOVOCS
I have just ordered some of this. The way i was painting is using the gel00 what i had left both parts a and b then toulene then pigment but i have found in places the paint is still tacky whats the difference in this compared to the way i was doing it? Also using airbrush.
Hi, Do you mean that when using PsychoPaint it is tacky, but when painting with gel00 it is not tacky?
Can you use thinner as substitute for toluene? I can't find any on my country.
Our NOVOCS Gloss is a no-VOC thinner for Psycho Paint
@@smoothon Thanks! Question can i use the pearl ex pigment for this one instead of the silicpig? Im planning on making a mermaid tail and paint it. And should i mix the solvent and Pigment on the B before mixing it with A. Thanks! Please enlighten me. I have read it somewhere
We recommend mixing A and B and then adding the solvent. You would want to test any pigment for compatibility.
@@smoothon okay. Thanks! Can i use this with other brand of silicone for painting?
you guys REALLY need a better demo, this one is a few years old and the paint job isnt that good to be honest. it REALLY doesn't show off just how amazing this stuff is (the SPFX mask does however) really amazing stuff this Psycho paint is. i remember back when i started working with silicone nobody knew how to paint it. then a few years later BAM we got Psycho Paint!
How do you get a matte finish after painting? Do Psycho Paints need a sealer?
Translucent powder. And I don't think any sealer is necessary
Would this type of application work to paint/change the skin color of PhicenTBLeague 12" seamless figures? They are made out of some type of silicone. A lot of people use chalk or oil pastels to varying degrees of success and permanency but I'm wondering if this isn't the answer.

Hi I'm considering using this paint on a Phicen body as well. Just wondering if you tried it. How did it work out?
Okay, can you just brush this paint on? I am getting a set of silicone hands and feet that need to be painted black. Is that possible? Thanks!
You would need to combine Silc Pig Black with the Psychos Paint A/B mix, then brush it on. Are they platinum cured silicone?
Hey, Can you use psycho paint to airbrush over a tint based silicone head prop (mold max 10t)?
Psycho Paint will work only with platinum silicones. You can thin our Sil-Poxy adhesive with NOVOCS to paint tin silicone.
Thanks!
can psycho paint working on g-shock wrist band?
Not sure. We do not know the makeup of the wristband. A small scale test would need to be performed.
Hi . I am very interested in the sillicon rubber . How could I prepare sillicon rubber ???? Thanks .
We have some tutorials here: www.smooth-on.com/applications/special-effects-props/
when i brush on this with just A and B mixed with a tiny amount of silcpig colour it isnt drying! any help?

Yeah but where can we buy toulene? It seems like many countries have forbidden its purchase. Is there an alternative we can just buy and use out of the box without buying additional stuff?
You could use mineral spirits or NOVOCS
@@smoothon Mineral spirits! Ack! Thank you. I already ordered my NOVOCS :D Going to try that stuff first. Have a great thanksgiving, guys.
Im wanting to gloss my silicone mask I have all your products to do it with but I'm asking will it cure since the mask is a few months old ???
It is best to paint a silicone piece with Psycho Paint within a couple of days of demolding. You may want to try Sil-Poxy thinned with naptha or NOVOCS Gloss.
Hey, do you sale a kit that has all the products in one?
Not for this particular application.
Clean your vents ya sloppy Bastard
Can anyone tell me can I use this on tpe silicone? I ordered some for my platinum mask but was wondering if I could use this to touch up on tpe dolls ?
This paint would not bond to TPE materials.
Any recommendatuin for silver pigment?

How will this work on shimano brake hoods?
this paint is designed for freshly cured platinum silicone only.
Is it normal the result is very sticky? Also, when rubbing it kinda firm, the paint comes off. Like it rolls up into tiny pieces.
I used Psycho Paint with Novocs.

@@smoothon Ok, thanks.
Did they resolve your issue? What was the cause?
Kristof, can you send us a tech ticket?
hi...I had try many different ways and ab to purchase and figure this paint ..I had purchase other items for molds before and always been very happy with the products and the result, ..im customizing 1/6 scale toys and they are made with some type of rubber ...close, if not softer that those found on sex toys ( to give you an idea hehe) I had try monster latex paint for airbrush ,they tell you is great etc etc but after spending an arm and a leg ( cause everything got destroyed) it didn't work ...the pain pill off and all the work out of the window ..looking to achieve a flat finish with a deep blue , like the one found on "mystique" x man ( that's what I'm working on right now) would some one help ?..if any one knows a way ?

what model airbrush is this?
+MrPoeticEssence This is a basic Paasche - H single action airbrush.
How many parts NOVOCS? Here it has 2 parts Toluene
2-4 parts NOVOCS would be suitable.
Is it not possible to create puppets that are not monster gross?
Psycho Paint is used in many applications, including realistic medical simulation, medical training, and more.
link for toluene please
coleslayer1088 Toluene can be hard to come by. Since we filmed this video, we have released a product called NOVOCS that you can use with Psycho Paint. Xylene or Naptha will also work, and you can generally find these wherever paints are sold.
Brush on tutorial, please? I've waited 3 years.
Are you looking for a brush on mold tutorial? We recently had a live stream showing just this: ua-cam.com/video/fBSsBkkETGI/v-deo.html
@@smoothon Thank you for that, but I mean techniques for painting silicone with a brush, specifically. I know it's probably very similar to this video, but I want to see how well brushing on silicone turns out compared to airbrushing and also which techniques give what sorts of appearances.
Ah, understood. We will discuss with our video team. I know we have plans for more FX tutorials in the near future.
@@smoothon thank you! :)
