In this fifth part in our series on Creating Custom Zombie Teeth we teach you how to paint your Zombie teeth to look rotten and gross. We use regular water base craft paints. We have kept this step simple and easy to follow for all levels of artists. You can go as far as you want in painting since rotten teeth can be as extreme as you would like. Please follow closely the advice given for fitting the teeth to the actor. Use a portable dremel tool to adjust the teeth to the actor to keep from injuring the actor's gums.
