'''Paint brushes''' change the colour of a [[Neopet]]. They can be bought at user's [[shop]]s and [[Auction]]s, and are also found in the [[Hidden Tower]] and by [[Random Event]]s. They are sometimes given away as prizes from games and competitions. There are also Petpet paint brushes, which change the colour of a [[Petpet]].

[[Image:Neopets PBs.PNG|thumb|A few examples of the many paint brushes that can be found around Neopia.]]


In addition to providing new ''colours'' for your pet, some paint brush colours seem more costume-like and fanciful, such as Halloween, Plushie and Tyrannian. Some paint brushes are rarer than others, but aside from the no-trade starter brushes, they all rank expensive items.
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.


To use a paint brush on a pet, the colour scheme that the brush represents must be one that the pet can become. The pet must be taken to the [[Rainbow Pool]], where its waters allow the brush to work. Paint brushes 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.

With the exception of a few select paint brushes that are sold at the [[Hidden Tower]], paint brushes cannot be purchase from official Neopian [[shop]]s. Instead, users must obtain paint brushes by winning them from certain [[game]]s 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 [[plot]]s or winning certain [[contest]]s. 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#Newbie Pack|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 [[neopoint]]s.

==Non-Paint brush Painting==
==Using a paint brush==
Paint brushes can change a pet into most of its available colours, but not necessarily all. Some of the more elabourate colours are only available via the [[Lab Ray]]: robot, clay, and [[MSP]] being examples of such. Any colour (except Royal, Pirate and Baby) can be given by the lab ray without need of a paint brush. Additionally, the only away of obtaining a mutant pet is to feed it a transmogrification potion.
To use a paint brush on a Neopet, the user must place the paint brush in their [[inventory]] and then travel to the [[The Rainbow Pool|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.


Often, morphing potions are available to change a Neopet into a different species and/or colour, which are, for some of the more popular combinations, a much cheaper option that a paint brush.
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 [[The Rainbow Pool#Petpet Puddle|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 [[Treasure Maps#Petpet Laboratory|Petpet Lab Ray]] cannot be painted.


==Retired Paint Brushes==
==All Neopet paint brushes==
Very rarely, a paint brush colour is retired. The paint brushes become unusable (and in the case of the Unicorn brush, disappear completely) and pets painted the retired colour no longer remain it, but may be changed to a newer version. An example of this occurred on the 8th of January, 2002, when the Glass Paint Brush was retired, and replaced with the Tyrannian Paint Brush. Some of the glass pets were turned into the newer Tyrannian versions (the Shoyru was one of the first Tyrannian Pets), while the others remained as glass pets as a Tyrannian version was being made for each of them. The list of retired brushes is:

Note that, if the actual paint brush (as an item) is retired, it does not always mean it cannot be used. Paint brushes such as the Lost Desert Paint Brush, the Faerie Paint Brush, the Gold Paint Brush are retired (along with many more in the list above) (rarity 180), but may still be used, and The Neopets Team are constantly making these paint brushes useable on more and more Neopets.
In addition to this, there are currently three paint brushes that exist as items on the Neopets website that cannot be used at the Rainbow Pool:


==Petpet Paint brush==
*[[Glass]] Paint Brush - The Glass colour was removed from the site on January 8, 2002.

*In 2002, during the month of May, [[TNT]] held a [http://www.neopets.com/comps/newpaintbrush.phtml 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.

A few examples of the many paint brushes that can be found around Neopia.

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.

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.
