Check your local fabric store. They often carry soft upholstery foam that would work. You’ll need to use rubber cement to glue it in if you decide to make it permanent.

The only thing you might try is to use some mineral spirits to remove the spray paint. You have to be careful though, as the mineral spirits will very likely harm the latex underneath if you use too much or if the mask is very thin. Once the paint’s removed you can try giving the mask a proper paint job after making sure the mineral spirits are cleaned off.

I am helping someone re-paint a mask for a show and they used spray paint and now the mask is sticky to the touch. What can I do to get the spray paint off so I can use the proper paints and fix it?

Thanks, Eric! You don’t need grey latex. The liquid latex is white in the bottle and dries clear. You make it grey by adding grey paint to it.
