Hello,

I’m painting “from the inside out” and I keep getting paint on the inner surfaces and then I have to go back and clean it up. It just starts to feel extremely tedious, does anyone have any tips?

I want to figure this out so I don’t have to rely on contrast paint but this just feels so inefficient currently.

Heya! Try to be extremely careful on the edges where it meets different colors. Go at it slow and steady. A small brush with a good tip ( not frayed) will also help

It just takes practice. Its part of the process if you want to actually get good at painting. I prime black, paint the inner surfaces (usually) then touch up any bordering spots back to black if its needed. The times when I dont so the inside out is when I have a large area that is going to need a lot of blending. Then I will usually get it done because it can work against you having to blend areas but hard stopping at borders. That usually gives me a rough line of paint.

Ok thanks 🙏

The figure I’m painting right now has a hood on their head so it’s been really annoying trying to paint the hood without hitting the previously base coated face

I mean worth a try 😅. But yeah definitely tricky. Maybe the next gang can be wearing a hooded ski mask 🤣 no face to paint hehe

The last time I had to paint a hood, I actually had to paint the inside of the hood, lol
