Step 59 Painting

Once every thing is back together let's glue the ear back on and add more latex and cotton flesh to it to cover up the holes you'll see. Note do not attach the bottom base at this time leave it off so we can do more testing and setting up the new main board down the road.
Let the new skin dry about a day until it takes on a darker color. Now it's time for painting. I painted this using the rubber mask paint from www.monstermakers.com . First I added the med flesh paint then added some black to show highlights after that I added purple and red for bruising effect and a little white, green and yellow for a better look letting each coat dry before adding the next color. See photo below:


I know this does not look like what is should be but let it dry and it will darken up plus this is only the first step.

Did you have any issues with the paint not sticking too well since the skin is silicone? Thanks!
