Most paints will start to peel off when applied to the squishy and when the squishy is squished, for this reason like with the glue it is recommended paint that will be flexible enough to stay on the squishy after it is dry. The use of oil or acrylic paints would result in peeling of the paint and so are not suitable if you want to maintain the squishiness of your squishy.
