What would you do if you got all ATLA bending powers, with the caveat that every time someone saw you using them, you would lose the power until they looked away again. They can still use other senses (lemm.ee)

That only works for water based paints. What would you do when the customer want oil based paint to be used?

Oil benders are only rare because of the fire nation.

Is it only water specifically?
Couldnt it also apply to oil because it's fluid based?

Exactly what a bender can bend has been talked to death through out the years but I don't think a water bender can bend oil. An earth bender can bend lava, a fluid. A water bender can bend ice, a solid.

I feel like this is a very philosophical question. Like Toph bended metal, but metal is but one component of earth. Water and oil don’t mix unless under certain circumstances and oil isn’t recognized as being a part of water.

Toph can only bend metal due to the impurities in it; highly purified titanium can't be metalbent

Hm. I think we'd just have to specify our special and unique process only works with water-based paints and primers. Could get away with the hybrid paints though and I think there's good enough hybrid primers to make it work.
