Metallic paints cleanup guide

⚠️ Warning

Gold and silver powder is extremely difficult to handle. Do not attempt this without proper mental preparation.

What Are Metallic Paints (Gold/Silver Paints)

Like an Oscar statuette, they offer a beautiful, radiant, and flawless appearance, revealing captivating muscle definition and body contours under light and shadow.
At the same time, they represent a long-desired practice for transformation-focused players, and are a classic form of objectification play.

Here, “gold/silver powder” or “metallic paint” refers to metallic powder mixed with baby oil (or edible oil) to create a wet, oil-based paint that can be applied to the body. It is well known for being difficult to clean and highly contaminating, and may cause allergic reactions for some people. This is an advanced, high-difficulty activity.

How It’s Typically Played

Most participants are drawn by the beautiful body lines, so sessions are often photo shoots. Please take special care of the photographer, avoid splashing, and agree in advance on usage rights for the photos (e.g., whether they may be published and whether mosaics are required).

Shimmering bodies naturally invite imagination. Activities are generally performed nude, so it is essential to strictly follow the principles of informed consent and implement appropriate safety protections.

Important Notes

  • Oil on the body or floor creates a slipping and falling hazard.
  • The powder particles are extremely fine and can penetrate cracks and seams. If they get on walls, wallpaper, furniture, etc., they may be impossible to clean.
    If you are mixing from dry powder, be sure to wear an N95 respirator or even a gas mask, and mix in an area with stable airflow to prevent dispersion.
  • Ingesting metallic powder may cause metal ion poisoning, leading to nausea, vomiting, dizziness, or more severe symptoms. Avoid ingestion. If symptoms occur, seek medical attention immediately.
  • Some people may have skin or mucosal allergies to metallic powder. Always perform a patch test first (e.g., on the arm).
  • Avoid contact with the eyes. Direct contact may scratch the cornea. Take this at your own risk.
  • If you are using a time-based room such as a motel, you may not have enough time to clean up. For your first attempt, be sure to choose a venue without time limits.
    Please respect the space and do not leave behind a mess that is difficult for the venue to clean.

Space Selection

  • Whenever possible, choose a bathroom. Tiled, water-resistant areas are the most convenient.
  • Use protective (masking) tape to fully cover the activity area (three to four layers are recommended). Tape along edges as much as possible and secure every side. Also cover the bathroom, hallways leading to it, walls, and furniture—this will make cleanup much easier.
  • For group activities, try to find a space with multiple shower heads, and schedule showering in separate batches.

Personal Cleaning Guide

Prepare:
Towels, bath sponge/loofah, shampoo, body wash or soap, clean clothes, kitchen brush.

Prepare extra old towels and clothes, disposable towels, paper towels, and several large trash bags.

Shower time: Generally 30–90 minutes.

  • Before washing, use paper towels or old towels to wipe off as much oil from your body as possible and discard them. This will greatly reduce cleaning difficulty.
  • After wetting your body, use a large amount of shampoo with a bath sponge to scrub your entire body and remove the oil. This may need to be repeated once or twice.
  • Then use body wash to scrub again. While looking in a mirror, focus on rubbing thoroughly to remove gold and silver powder trapped in skin creases.
  • After showering, if you notice hard-to-reach areas such as along the eyeliner line or inside the ears, do not worry—these can be wiped off later with wet wipes.
  • A metallic odor may remain on the skin for several hours; it will dissipate naturally, or you can remove it by exercising and sweating.

After showering, be sure to check:

  • Eyebrows, chin, sides of the nose
  • Hair and sideburns
  • Elbows and outer arms
  • Inner armpits
  • Back
  • Inner thighs/groin
  • Behind the knees
  • Behind the ankles

Environment Cleaning Guide

  • Remove the protective tape, rolling the contaminated side inward as you peel it off.
  • Bathroom tiles:
    Use paper towels to wipe up most of the residue first, then scrub with a scouring pad and shampoo, rinse, and repeat until no gold or silver powder remains.
  • Other water-resistant items:
    Use a damp cotton pad to gently dab and lift the residue little by little.

Organizer Tips

  • Have participants wrap their clothes and towels in plastic bags and place them in the bathroom first, to avoid spreading contamination while moving around.
  • Protective tape may sometimes be kicked up or, in the worst case, torn off. If tape is pulled loose, remind everyone immediately and fix it.
  • Showering is the most common bottleneck. Schedule shower order based on the number of available showers, and do not leave shower heads idle.
  • Prepare a full set of body wash and cleaning tools for each shower. If someone gets stuck during washing, ask nearby participants to help.
  • Once someone starts showering, ensure that post-shower pathways remain clean and unobstructed. Set up chairs and wet wipes at the boundary leading to clean areas so people can wipe their feet before exiting and prevent contamination from spreading.
