it won't wash out

It's not easy being green - as one Brazilian man proved when he painted himself to look like the Incredible Hulk - and found the colour wouldn't wash off. Pool attendant Paulo Henrique dos Santos, from Vila Cruzeiro, dressed up as the comic book hero for a running event, but got a nasty shock when the time came to remove the green paint. After frantic scrubbing, the hapless chap realised he'd used a paint reserved for ballistic missiles and nuclear submarines.

The 35-year-old, who also works as a DJ in Rio de Janeiro and is known as MC Marronzinho, has achieved overnight celebrity in his local area. As if being bright green wasn't embarrassing enough, the local press ran pictures of his mother trying to remove the paint - and referred to her as his girlfriend.

[Mr Swine]

How come people are this stupid? :/ why not read first before buying or using paint?

 

[Kosmo]

Haha. Probably take a month or so for his skin to slough off to get rid of it.

Jesus :lol

 

[Prez]

Where did he get the paint? I assume not every local hardware store sells paint reserved for ballistic missiles and nuclear submarines.

 

[Aylinato]

Vaseline removes paint. There is also this orange smelling stuff that works amazing and smells likes oranges

 

[Summary Man]

Why do ballistic missiles need special paint anyways? They're designed to be destroyed. I don't really see the point in covering it with Super Paint.

From Dailymail UK

According to Brazilian news site Extra.globo.com, Paulo had hoped to buy a brand of paint he'd used on a previous outing as the Hulk, but the shop he went to didn't have it.

Desperate to undo his inking, the would-be superhero spent Sunday and Monday having 'about 20 baths,' and was forced to sleep in a room lined with plastic bags.

He feared the industrial paint could actually give him lead poisoning, though he appears to have had no symptoms.

It was only after being scrubbed by a gang of friends and neighbours for 24 hours that Paulo finally removed the stubborn staining.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Don't worry Bart, I bet Einstein turned himself all sorts of colors before he invented the light bulb.

 

[teruterubozu]

The pictures look so oddly staged.

 

[Asbel]

Guess he is a marron.

 

[shuri]

the entire thing sounds fake..

 

[Wanace]

He has the same facial expression in every picture, you'd think he'd find just a bit of humor in his predicament.

 

[IceCold]

Where did he even get access to paint like that?
