    So I just scored a silicone mask off of ebay for $30! The sculpt is okay and the paint is really bad. I was wondering what I could use that was silicone safe to strip the paint and what types of paint can I use to repaint it.

    I also wanted to know if there is a way to add to the mask. I would like to build up some portions of it or maybe make it look like it is a burn victim.

    I will post some pics as soon as I get it.

    Not easy to strip silicone paint, since it bonds to the mask extremely well, silicone bonds best to silicone. Repainting on top is an easy thing though, I did that last year with a mask, I also added some detail to it as well, all with silicone. Get a tube of GE Silicone 1, a can of mineral spirits (for thinning oil paint and cleaning brushes) then a multicolor set of oil paints, and some brushes and sponges. To add detail, just use the silicone itself, after cleaning the mask with a little rubbing alcohol, add it to the mask with a brush, popsicle stick, or other sculpting tool and build it up till you're happy. Let it sit at least a full day before painting. For the paint, thin the same silicone down with the mineral spirits till it's a a good paint consistency, then add just a little bit of the oil paint for pigment and mix it in until it's even. Paint on with a brush, or sponge and that's about it!

    just be carefull not to over paint it since silicone that as been cured for a long time it is almost impossible to repaint it without it delaminating over time and manipulation.

    Looks like something from Hellraiser, it has potential and doesn't look like it should be to hard to fix up.
