Paint is a blue fluid found in Epic Mickey, Epic Mickey 2 and Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion that can used with Mickey's Paintbrush. Paint can be sprayed by the player in the game, similar to Thinner. It can restore objects dissolved by Thinner. Paint can befriend Blotlings and restore thinned toon characters. Paint is therefore what gives toons their life force. Although it can redeem Blotlings, it leaves Beetleworx unaffected. Using paint, Mickey can be able to attract Tints, the Paint Guardians. In Epic Mickey, more usage of paint reduces the ink that rises off of Mickey. Mickey can use paint to restore objects in Wasteland, befriend enemies, and for quests and challenges.
