in all the indy mogul episode
well most of them
Erik uses Liquid Latex
now this stuff works great
but only creates a white skin look

i was wondering should i just sraypaint the liquid latex
or do they have different colors somewhere?

Don't use spraypaint. If you want to color the latex, add a little bit of creme based colored makeup. Mix it in, but remember it will usually dry darker then what it is when you first add the makeup.

Mixing some coloured food dye works well too. Not too much though the colour can get pretty intense. Play around with it, add some red for doing burns and cuts. Or green for alien make up etc.

Also if you're going to use red make sure it's not "Rose Red" it may look nice and dark but turns pink very quickly. The good one is called "Mailbox Red" here in Australia, so looks for something similar.

You can get colored latex, but it's more expensive... I would just dye it.. or put make-up over it ..

Tint your latex with plain old acrylic paint...Though remember that when it dries it will be several shades darker than you may think.

Like everyone said, mixing in food coloring or makeup is the way to go. Or, just apply make-up after the latex dries and you'll be fine. I'd strongly avoid using acrylic paint or any other kind of paint, because the more of it you add, the less flexible the latex becomes and when applying on skin, you want your latex to be nice and stretchy.
