We all got each other! I tried redoing the lips on mine and screwed it up pretty bad, so I’ll keep it but look for another to order and repaint

Its all good! I just had it too dark is all. I’m gonna focus on my Ends mask first which is coming Monday, and lemme know if you need anymore help with your H40!

Did you strip the stock paint off your mask?

My H40 or Kills? Either way I didn’t, its been way too hard even with all of the acetone treatments I did to remove my own applied paint to the Kills mask. If I knew how I still probably wouldn’t because then I’d have to remove the hair as well

The problem with mine is when I asked you what dry brushing was last night it was already too late and the layer of white i has was too thick you couldn’t see any details. When I tried to wipe it off the stock paint started peeling too so now I have to peel it all off for it to be even😫

Dang! Well it will benefit to have literally all the paint off, so you’ll probably get better results! But yea, just thin, light layers at a time until you get a good base with those details showing fairly well. But try starting with the washes first! And don’t forget those seals. P.s you got a super good mold!

Hey! I got another piece of advice for the hair of any mask that you could benefit from. I recently restyled the hair on my Kills and H40, and found that using a spray bottle to get the hair really wet, then just using your hands to kind of messily comb it back and then matting it with gel and finishing with hair spray gets a really good look! This is primarily for the H40, but it looks good on the Kills mask too (its very reminiscent of the screen used H40 as shown below)

That’ll work great :smile: I still haven’t got all the damn stock paint peel off it’s like concrete. I found using sandpaper works but the process is so slow and irritating :face_exhaling:

Cool! Just know it’ll be better worth it with all the excess paint off. Come to think of it, how’d you even get the stock paint off??

It started peeling off the forehead. It happened because I painted a layer of white that was too thick and when I tried to wipe it off the stock paint started peeling too😆. Now I’m finishing the job by soaking it overnight and using sandpaper

Just got it! I currently have it stuffed just to reshape (no pun intended) from being in a box for about a week. Still got the H40 peeling?

It had a big turnaround today I finally finished peeling it. Now I’ve already painted a blackish brown and have started to paint a white layer. After that I’m gonna do a yellowish wash over it and paint the crack details.

Great! I’m glad it’s all off. But a word of advice for the yellow wash, depending on what look you’re going for, water it down a fair amount. Some masks obviously are more warm and ivory, while some are whiter (as shown below). I didn’t do any washes on mine to change the tone, but its all preference.

No problem! I like that look too. I wanna buy another H40 and try it eventually. As said before, just make sure the wash is light, try not to make it too thick because it could really darken it and divert your aimed tone. If you sealed the mask before the wash and it has some trouble coming off with just water, you could try some isopropyl alcohol or baby wipes
