Hey Ray,

It's pretty rare that someone will give you a paintbrush for free if they don't know you. I'd suggest working diligently at the games with good point ratios to earn NP. It is possible with hard work to earn significant NP in a short amount of time to buy the PB you want.

Play some top-rated games. Kass Basher is usually a favorite game. Also, try Fashion Fever. You can earn 900 NP automatically, and if you send a card, you can get 1,200 NP. Don't forget to play the Featured Game. That game doubles your NP earnings on that game only.

It depends what paintbrush you want to get. For example, the Christmas PB (short for paintbrush) is relatively cheap for some users. It, on average, cost about 30,000. That 30K paintbrush is one that is given out in the Advent Calendar, located in Terror Mountain. That paint brush is very cheap compared to the 12,000,000 NP Relic Paint Brush. Also, be sure that your Neopet is compatible with that color. These paintbrushes can also be found via Random Event (RE) or by some dailies. Here is a list of paintbrushes. That list has petpet paintbrushes also.

Some colors can't be painted. They must be zapped by the Lab-Ray (by collecting these pictures), eat a magical fruit pop, or drink a potion.

If you're lucky, a RE can change your pet's color. Boochie, a Baby Bruce, can zap your pet, turning them only Baby.

Sometimes, he misses, so the chance is even less likely. Also, a torrent of multi-coloured water can fall from the sky, turning them into a random color.

There is even one that turns your pet invisible.

For a better view of all the colors, go here. If you want to see their moods in their colors, you can go to Jellyneo.

Ray, you can also win certain paintbrushes off of gold keys in Key Quest. I know someone who won a camouflage one just today. Even if you don't win a paintbrush, you can win codestones and neggs, which you can sell for decent NP. The trick is to work hard but smartly (play quick games with good ratios; you can also try restocking at the Igloo Garage Sale or some of the easier shops -- do your homework to know what to buy and what to avoid), save (put everything in the bank, collect interest daily, and try to get to the better interest rates; don't buy random items until you reach your big goal), and invest (buy 1000 shares of stock at 15k every day; sell whenever they reach 60k).

I recently saved up for a Pirate paintbrush -- which cost me 11M NP. It took several months, but I kept a spreadsheet of my daily goal, how much I actually earned, and when I'd reach my goal. It really kept me on track.

Wait until the advent calender, the will probably give out yet more Christmas paint brushes.

Like domo_hello_kitty said, the lab ray will indeed give random color changes. My lenny just got zapped into mutant today:
