Help! I want to be a silver tin man for halloween, but there isn't silver body paint in Thailand. How?

Yes, definitely get a silver mask, and don't spray-paint yourself! There's a story about the original Tin Man -- he got sick from the body paints they used to make him shiny, and he had to quit. The job went to the guy who is now the one famous for being the Tin Man.





See this from Wiki:





Casting The Wizard of Oz was problematic, with actors shifting roles repeatedly at the beginning of filming. One of the primary changes was in the role of the Tin Man. Ray Bolger, and Buddy Ebsen (later famous for his role as Jed Clampett on the 1960s TV showu The Beverly Hillbillies) was to play the Scarecrow.[6] Bolger, unhappy with being assigned the role of the Tin Man, convinced producer Mervyn LeRoy to recast him in the role of trhe Scarecrow. Ebsen did not object to the change; he recorded all of his songs, went through all the rehearsals as the Tin Man and started filming with the rest of the cast.[9] However, nine days after filming began, Ebsen suffered a reaction to the aluminum powder makeup he wore as the Tin Man; the powder had coated his lungs from his breathing it in as it was applied daily. By that point in critical condition, Ebsen had to be hospitalized and left the project. MGM did not publicize the reasons for Ebsen's departure until decades later in a documentary about the movie, and even his replacement, Jack Haley, did not initially know the reason.





The makeup used for Jack black Haley was quietly changed to an aluminum paste makeup; although it did not have the same dire effect on Haley, he did at one point suffer from an unpleasant reaction to it. Despite his near-death experience with the makeup, Ebsen outlived all the principal players, although his film career was damaged by the incident. His career did not fully recover until the 1956s, when he began a string of popular film and TV series appearances that would continue into the 1980s. Although his lungs had presumably recovered from the effects of the powder makeup, he eventually died from complications from pneumonia on July 6, 2003 at the age of ninety-five.[10]

Wrap your body, legs and arms in aluminum foil. Get a can of silver spray paint from a hardware store and spray paint some gloves and a plain face mask to wear. If you want to look like the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz movie, buy an oil funnel and spray paint that as well, then wear it on top of your head.Help!

you could use aluminum foil to cover the pieces of your costume or gray spray paint if you can find that and maybe sprinkle silver colored dust on it, like what you would find in a craft store.
