How to paint a pet twice over in new customization system?
Mon Aug 20, 2007 10:28 pm
I am sorry if this has already been addressed...I haven't been around Neopets or the PPT forums for a while, so I'm pretty out of date.
Regarding the new customization system, I saw somewhere that you can now combine paint colors. For example, I know I saw a female royal girl striped zafara somewhere - the zafara was striped AND wearing the royal girl clothes.
After seeing this, I really, really want to create my own dream pet: white christmas zafara. (For those thinking to themselves, "But the christmas zafara is white!" - the difference is that the white zafara has a cream-colored belly while the christmas zafara has a gold-colored belly.)
How would I do this? Do I paint him white, then paint him christmas? Or do I paint him christmas, then paint him white? How do I keep the wings and halo from disappearing when I paint over him?
x__x I am thoroughly confused! Please help me out. Thanks!

While reading this, please keep in mind I have not done this 
What I would assume, is that you would need to paint your pet Christmas first and then white. After painting it white you would go to the customization thing and look at your inventory, you inventory would have all of the Christmas clothing in it and you would be able to put it on your white pet.
Hope this helps

When you re-paint a pet, you get to keep the clothing from the previous color. So you would paint it Christmas, then white. Then add the christmas clothing!

I know if the pet gets zapped to a clothes-less color, the clothes it was wearing before just stay on, if you'd taken them off/put them back before, at least. It took me a week to figure out why my Invisible Chomby looked Robot

I heard that you had to take the clothes off before you repainted the pet, or the clothes would just disappear? Can someone confirm or refute this? Do the clothes have to be on, off, or does it matter? I'm planning on double painting a pet of mine very soon, and I want to make sure I do it right and don't lose my clothes.

If you repaint your pet, the clothes should stay on, but if they are removed, they will be put in your closet I believe

Gotta second this. I have a pink/robot lupe at the moment. I simply took all the "clothes" off the lupe and put them into my closet. Then I zapped her with the ray and it turned her pink. I put just the housing back on... and now I have a pink lupe in robot suit. Looks like a space suit. I love it.

But then, you'd need to be absolutely sure that the 'decoration' you're aiming for are items in the closet.
Say for example, my space faerie grundo. It seems that its 'midnight wings' aren't clothing - it doesn't show up in the 'applied screen'. Nor can I remove them...haven't tried zapping/painting him though.

You won't loose your clothing if you paint over, and as some people here said, painting it Christmas and then White will work. 
The only pet I've double painted is one called Shady_Claus on my side account. And I adore him. XD Painted Christmas first and then Halloween so he can have his snarl. I hope you like your new Zafara! =D
And about the Grundo... I don't believe those are able to be kept. They'll probably poof if you paint over. D: I think wings don't stick with a pet when they aren't faerie, although I am not 100% sure. =/ Along with random features like horns on tyrannian pets or purple claws on Darigan. I think those only go with the colours they came with... would someone check if they have a pet like this and are bored? Now I'm curious XD
The only deluxe paint set guide I knew of has been taken down.
If it doesn't show up anywhere in the customization window, it probably isn't going to be there later either. I'd look at the customization window myself since I have a faerie pet, but she isn't converted so... bleh.
