Hard Paint (Portuguese: Tinta bruta) is a 2018 Brazilian drama film directed by Marcio Reolon and Filipe Matzembacher.

It is set in Porto Alegre and follows a young gay man called Pedro (Shico Menegat) who performs on video chat using body paint as his trademark.

A real-life sexual encounter goes wrong but then despite losing Leo (who is following his dreams and moving to Europe), at the end of the film Pedro is dancing and open to new beginnings.

Hard Paint explores the theme of isolation, since Pedro performs online from a studio in his bedroom and withdraws from the wider world.
