Painting a Petpet
To paint a Petpet, players must follow a few steps to make sure everything goes smoothly. The process is quite simple but requires the right items and a bit of preparation:
Step 1: Attach a Petpet to Your Neopet
Before you can paint your Petpet, it must be attached to one of your Neopets. This means your Neopet will need to be the “owner” of the Petpet, a prerequisite for using the Petpet Paint Brush.
Step 2: Obtain a Petpet Paint Brush
Next, you’ll need to have a Petpet Paint Brush in your inventory. These brushes are sold in various colors and can be purchased at different shops in Neopia. They can be quite expensive depending on the color, so it’s important to make sure you have the right one.
Step 3: Visit the Petpet Puddle
With your Petpet and Petpet Paint Brush in hand, head to the Petpet Puddle, which is conveniently located near the Rainbow Pool. At the Petpet Puddle, you’ll find the area filled with Petpets of different species and colors, all waiting to be painted.
Step 4: Select the Paint Brush
Once you’ve arrived at the Petpet Puddle, you’ll see your Petpet on display along with an option to paint it. If the Petpet Paint Brush you have is compatible with the Petpet, a dropdown box will appear beneath the Petpet’s name. From this dropdown menu, select the correct Petpet Paint Brush and click on the “Paint this Petpet!” button.
Step 5: Watch the Transformation
Once the Paint Brush is selected and the button is clicked, the magical transformation begins! The Petpet will undergo a beautiful transformation as the paint begins to spread over its body, changing its color to match the new hue provided by the Petpet Paint Brush.
Please note that Petpets that have been zapped by the Petpet Lab Ray cannot be painted. These Petpets are subject to random changes, making them unique in their appearance.
Available Colors
Petpet Paint Brushes come in a variety of colors, each adding a new and unique shade to your Petpet’s appearance. Whether you want a vibrant Rainbow Faellie, a sleek Black Blorth, or a bright Pink Gnorbu, there’s a paint color for every Petpet.
Unpainting a Petpet
If you change your mind about a painted Petpet or wish to return it to its basic, unpainted version, you can remove the paint with a special brush. This process is called unpainting and is a bit more complex than painting a Petpet.
The Unpainting Process
To unpaint a Petpet, you will need another Paint Brush in the color of the Petpet’s original unpainted version. For example, if your Petpet was originally a basic White Faellie before being painted Pink, you would need to use a White Petpet Paint Brush to return it to its original look. However, be cautious—this process can sometimes be more expensive than simply purchasing a new unpainted Petpet!
Before attempting to unpaint, it’s important to check what Neopia considers the unpainted color of a Petpet. For instance, while some Snuffly Petpets may look blue, the official unpainted color may be white. This information can be found in the All Petpet Colours section at the Rainbow Pool, so make sure you double-check before purchasing a brush.

The Petpet Puddle is located just a few strides away from the Rainbow Pool in Neopia Central, nestled in a small depression in the ground. This subtle dip allows the water flowing from the Rainbow Pool to trickle into the puddle, keeping it perpetually full and ready for use. Petpets from all over Neopia gather here, excited to undergo their transformation.
The Magic of the Petpet Puddle
Though the mechanics of the Petpet Puddle may appear straightforward, there is still an air of mystery surrounding its operation. Many believe it is infused with faerie magic, but the true nature of the puddle remains a mystery. What’s important is the joy it brings to the Petpets as they wait in line, tiny paint brushes clutched in their paws, hoping for their turn to be painted.
An Example of a Petpet Painting
One of the most enchanting sights in the Petpet Puddle is when a Petpet undergoes its transformation. Imagine a Faellie, a small, joyful creature with a fluffy body and large, round eyes. This Faellie is cradled in the paws of its Kougra guardian, who carefully dips a Pink Petpet Paint Brush into the puddle’s magical waters. With a gentle stroke, the pink paint begins to cover the Faellie’s ears and head, spreading over its body in soft waves. In moments, the Faellie is transformed into a beautiful pink version of itself, smiling happily at its new look. Once the transformation is complete, the Kougra leaves the empty paintbrush in a nearby trash bin, signaling the end of the magical process.
The Petpet Puddle is an extraordinary place in Neopia, and while the exact mechanics are shrouded in mystery, its beauty and enchantment are undeniable.
