Spray paint which is a no no and they say fish belly white? Just find the shade of white latex pigment u like.When I use the word Fish Belly on my masks it,s just a catchy word it don’t mean shit since it,s anybody,s guess what it was but i,m happy with the shades we’re all getting.Also if u get any negative response from this question the members are just tired and don’t mean any harm
Tommy Lee Wallace used to refer to it as “appliance white” until recently when he started calling it “fish belly white”. However, he’s always said it was can spray paint.
Nothing was painted on the mask aside from white. The Kirk colored flesh paint under the white came out when the white rubbed off. Any dark details are flesh and dirt marks on the mask from use. They’ve said several times the mask(s) were not treated with much care so the spray paint wore off on many areas of the mask. I imagine it was possibly resprayed if any wear became too much during filming.
I can’t speak for other artists but my fleshtones are painted on before i apply my top coat white
I blend my whites into the fleshtones and to how i want them, be it more flesh exposed or less, depends how i feel on the day.
unless i’m doing an H2 then plenty flesh is a given.
I heard TLW would shout at Castle when he would scrunch the mask up and put it in his pocket after a scene lol, he got tired of having to touch the mask up between scenes.
i actually remember when fish belly white was in production… i compared it when i tried to match up a color …it was very slightly darker than pure white…maybe with a slight tinge of blue. Thats how i mix the paint for my masks
