    Hey dude, naah, you can\'t paint latex masks with pure acrylics. That will crack. You need to get either latex paint or just mix your latex paint yourself. If you wanna airbrush the mask, take latex and mix acrylics in it. Then water it down until it has the right consistancy for your airbrush.
    You really have to use rubber-based paints...anything else will crack and ruin your mask. :yucky:

    If you deceide to use straight paint and a brush, you need to mix your paint with prosaide.. this makes pax paint. Prosaide is a medical adhesive so it makes the paint stick to the mask. If you are airbrushing, you should put down a layer of prosadie.. wait for it to dry (it will dry clear), then start painting. When the mask is no longer sticky, you need to recoat with the prosaide again. You can get prosaide at www.makeupkits.com
