In a large saucepan, pour in the sugar, salt, & water. Heat the pan over medium heat until the mixture begins to boil. Do not stir the mixture. Once, it begins to boil, lower the heat and bring mixture to a simmer. Once all the sugar granules have dissolved, remove the pan from heat. Add the chopped butter and whisk until the butter is combined.
Next, add the cocoa powder, vanilla & chocolate extract. If you are going to add some booze, now would be the time to do it. Whisk to combine. The mixture may be lumpy at first. Whisk until the mixture is smooth & velvety. Test the mixture out with a wooden spoon. You should get a nice thick coat.
Pour the paint into a decorative jar. Once the paint has cooled down, but is still warm, you are ready to paint. After a while, the paint may thicken. You can reheat it in the microwave or a double boiler. Refrigerate unused portions in the fridge for future use.

Maybe a little ice-cream to go with the chocolate? And, of course, a cherry on top!
And a tarp!
I initially wanted to try a spicy version, but I figured the addition of chili peppers or chili powder wouldn't be a very pleasant experience on the body. Instead of using extracts, I would use real mint or cinnamon sticks. The temp. of the chocolate is so hot before it gets to the temp. of being comfortable to paint with, I think you could steep the ingredients and still get a really strong flavor.
I think mint leaves might not have the same brightness in flavor if used without alcohol.
Some day spas have body treatments with cayenne... but paprika is a little more common. It's also sometimes used in facials because it can increase blood flow, encourage cellular turnover... man I'm a nerd. (and a former massage therapist)
I think the addition of chili powder would give the paint a grainy texture, similar to an exfoliant, not to mention an unpleasant burning sensation. Maybe in a small amount it would produce a nice tingling sensation but I wouldn't want to be the Guinea pig testing it out. :)
