How to Unlock All Paints in Paint My Keyboard
Ordered guide to unlock every paint in Paint My Keyboard: costs, efficiency route, code paints, and when to skip tiers for faster completion.
Efficiency vs Completion
Unlocking every paint for collection differs from unlocking only the best cash paints. Completionists buy every tier including low multipliers; speedrunners skip straight to Rare and Epic breakpoints. This guide covers both: ordered full list plus skip notes. Stats on paints items.
Recommended Unlock Order
Buy in cash order when farming efficiently: Bubblegum Pink → Sky Blue → Lime Pop → Sunset Orange → Electric Purple → Gold Chrome → Rainbow Shift → Void Black. Grab Neon Pink from SATISFYING code when active — counts toward collection without shop cost.
- Bubblegum Pink (1,000)
- Sky Blue (5,000)
- Lime Pop (25,000)
- Sunset Orange (75,000)
- Electric Purple (250,000)
- Gold Chrome (750,000)
- Rainbow Shift (2,500,000)
- Void Black (10,000,000)
Funding Paint Purchases
Never buy a paint that costs more than ~20 minutes of current income unless it is your target tier for the next hour. Alternate roller upgrades between expensive paints so keys per minute keeps rising. Earn cash fast during paint grinds.
After All Paints
Equip Void Black or Rainbow Shift for farming; keep others for screenshots. Watch events for limited colors not in shop.
Time Estimates for Full Collection
Unlocking every shop paint in one push takes multiple sessions unless codes grant mid-tier skips. Void Black alone expects endgame income — rushing it on a small board can take days of inefficient grinding. Expand keyboard to Expand III or IV before serious Legendary paint pushes so each lap funds the next tier faster.
Track owned paints in palette greyed-out vs colored icons. Missing entries show price tags — work down from cheapest missing tier unless skipping for efficiency. Document personal milestone times if you speedrun collection; compare with friends for fun, not stress.
