Trying to paint a rubber latex mask. Spray paint and standard acrylics cause cracking/chipping when the mask is stretched. Any help would be greatly appreciated.What paint is best to use on latex rubber mask?
Best bet is to use Rubber Cement, the kind you get for arts and crafts, mix it with a solvent called Naphtha and add a couple of drops of acrylic enamel paint (the spraycan kind or even modeler's paint), just enough to give it color. Use a 50/50 mix of Rubber Cement and Naphtha. Rubber Cement on it's own is very stick, but takes for ever to dry. Cutting it with a solvent will allow for a fast dry time while remaining sticky. Using just a few drops of pigment should not make the coloring of latex mask rigid either. It's a win-win situation.
