The table below shows all of the Paint Brushes available in Neopia. If you click on a paint brush, it will take you to the SunnyNeo Rainbow Pool.The Rainbow Pool will teach you everything there is to know about the paint brush, such as the release date, which pets can be painted with it and how they look. During the Lutari Island mania that followed the release of Neopets Mobile, many were able to acquire a Lutari Paint Brush. It was believed that Neopets would soon be paintable, but over a year later, the Lutari Paint Brush still doesn't work, and no Neopet Species are currently available in this color.
A paint brush is a special type of item that can be used to change the colour of a Neopet or Petpet. The first paint brushes were released on May 9, 2000. Within the Neopets community, the act of using a paint brush is called 'painting'. The colour that a Neopet or Petpet becomes after painting depends on which paint brush is used. For example, a Blue Paint Brush will change the colour of a Neopet to Blue, while a Scritchy Sketchy Paint Brush will change the colour of a Neopet to Sketch. Paint brushes disappear after they are used and, as such, each paint brush can only be used once.
Paint brushes are broadly divided into two groups: those that can be used to paint Neopets and those that can be used to paint Petpets. These groups are mutually exclusive; paint brushes intended for Neopets cannot be used on Petpets, and paint brushes intended for Petpets cannot be used on Neopets. Users can determine which group a paint brush belongs to by examining the name of the paint brush. If the paint brush's name contains the word 'Petpet', then it can only be used on Petpets. If the paint brush's name does not contain the word 'Petpet', then it can only be used on Neopets.
Obtaining a paint brush[edit]
With the exception of a few select paint brushes that are sold at the Hidden Tower, paint brushes cannot be purchase from official Neopian shops. Instead, users must obtain paint brushes by winning them from certain games of chance, such as the Fruit Machine and the Alien Aisha Vending Machine, or by receiving them as part of a Random Event. Paint brushes are also sometimes available as prizes for participating in plots or winning certain contests. On top of that, the Advent Calendar has been known to occasionally give out paint brushes. Users also have a small chance of receiving a paint brush when they redeem a gold key in Key Quest.
Excluding the four starter paint brushes that are included inside of newbie packs, all paint brushes are tradable. This means that paint brushes can be purchased from other users using the Auction House, the Trading Post, or user shops. Because the demand for paint brushes within the Neopets economy is so high, users can often sell their paint brushes for tens of thousands or even millions of neopoints.

Using a paint brush[edit]
To use a paint brush on a Neopet, the user must place the paint brush in their inventory and then travel to the Rainbow Pool. At the Rainbow Pool, the user will be shown a picture of each of their Neopets. If the paint brush in the user's inventory can be used on one of displayed Neopets, then a drop down list containing the name of the paint brush will appear below that Neopet. The user must select the paint brush from this drop down box and then click the Submit button to use the paint brush.
Neopets New Paint Brush Colours
To use a paint brush on a Petpet, the user must first attach the Petpet to one of their Neopets. Next, the user must place the paint brush in their inventory and then travel to the Petpet Puddle. At the Petpet Puddle, the user will be shown a picture of each Petpet that is attached to one of their Neopets. If the paint brush in the user's inventory can be used on one of displayed Petpets, then a drop down list containing the name of the paint brush will appear below that Petpet. The user must select the paint brush from this drop down box and then click the Paint this Petpet! button to use the paint brush. Petpets that have been zapped by the Petpet Lab Ray cannot be painted.

Trivia[edit]
- In 2002, during the month of May, TNT held a paint brush competition and let users vote on which paint brush they would like to see next. During the first round of this competition, users could vote for one of three new paint brushes: the Baby Paint Brush, the Tartan Paint Brush, or Mystery Island Paint Brush. The Baby Paint Brush received the most votes during this round and was declared the winner on May 15, 2002. During the second round, users could choose between the Tartan Paint Brush, the Mystery Island Paint Brush, and the Pirate Paint Brush. On May 21, 2002, the Pirate Paint Brush was declared the winner after receiving 194,375 votes. Even though the Mystery Island Paint Brush lost both rounds of the paint brush competition, it would still be revamped and released on June 27, 2002.
- There are three colours only available by using a Paint Brush: Royal, Usuki, and Quiguki. These colours are not available through the Rainbow Fountain or the Lab Ray.
- Interestingly, many colours that Neopets can only obtain by using the Lab Ray or the Rainbow Fountain, such as Robot or Clay, are available to Petpets by using paint brushes.

So you finally have the pet of your dreams, but their little Mazzew side-kick they are so fond of now looks a bit odd tagging along by its side. You can't help but think they would make a better match if only your Mazzew was green and had webbed feet. It looks like a trip to the Petpet Puddle is in store for you and your pets!
The Puddle
The Petpet Puddle is basically a scaled-down version of The Rainbow Pool (which, by the by, is where it also happens to be located) where you can paint your Petpets; it would have to be shallow otherwise the poor little tykes might get into bother. Though unlike the regular pool it isn't presided over by a faerie who hands out quests, so if you want one of your Petpets painting I'm afraid you'll have to do it yourself. If you want to see what colours are available for each species of Petpet then you can check the All Petpet Colours page, although it isn't the most up-to-date page on the site as some Petpets are missed off completely. You would be better off looking through the Jellyneo Item Database for a more comprehensive list (yes that was a shameless plug, but it was a very useful one :P).
The Paint Brushes
To paint your Petpet you will need a special Petpet Paint Brush (see this page of the Jellyneo Item Database for a full listing of available colours!). You can be awarded these brushes through random events and occasionally from the Alien Vending Machine when it runs out of food, although both are very rare; the most common method of acquiring one is to buy them off other users through the Shop Wizard or via the Trading Post for the more expensive ones.
We're travel size for your convenience (:
Paying a Visit
Once you arrive at the Petpet Puddle you will be presented with images of each of your Petpets and a drop-down menu of the Petpet Paint Brushes you have in your inventory that are compatible to be used on each species. You can see what options you have in the screenie below.
As you can see, any Petpet that has been zapped using the Petpet Lab Ray is immune to being painted, though this is only if they have had a change of species. Say for example you zapped an Altachuck with the ray and it was morphed into a Kadoatie, you couldn't then paint the Kadoatie a different colour you would just have to keep it the colour it was or save up and buy a 'real' one. (For more information about the Petpet Lab Ray visit this guide).
To paint your Petpet, select the colour you want to paint it in the menu underneath it and then click on 'Paint The Petpet' and voila! say hello to your new little friend!
Unpainting Your Petpet
If, for whatever reason, you decide that you want your pet to revert back to its default colour then there is a way of doing this; although you can put down the scrubbing brush and the soap as it requires another coat of paint :P First you will need to determine what TNT considers to be the closest match to your Petpet's original colour. To do this we need to take another trip to the All Petpet Colours page. Let us pretend for now that you have just bought a Yellow Hasee because it was the only one you could find for sale, but you want it to be unpainted so it will fit in with your gallery theme. By using our Item Database you can see that the default colour for a Hasee is purple with orange stripy bits; so to get it to go back to just being a regular Hasee you would have to paint it with a Purple Petpet Paint Brush. To check this first, visit the page at the Petpet Puddle that lists all the potential colour combinations and search for all purple pets in the bar on the right as shown below.
Neopets Paintbrush Cost
So to get an unpainted Hasee, you would need to paint it with a Purple Petpet Paint Brush; likewise this would work to return a Huggy, a Pinceron, a Barbat, a Drackonack, a Cyodrake, a Mazzew, a Stopngo 400 and a Drackobunny back to their default state.
But as you can see here, it is always worth checking on this page what colour TNT consider to be the closest match to a Petpet's natural colour before you buy the Petpet Paint Brush. Here they have listed a Huggy's default colour as being purple whereas I personally would have guessed at green, and they have also listed a Pikis as being white when it is more of a faded lilac colour. So always always check first, otherwise you could end up with the wrong colour brush!
But I am naturally red, really I am...
Happy Petpet painting!
