Modify Live Paint groups

When you modify a path in a Live Paint group, Illustrator colors the modified or new faces and edges using fills and

strokes from the existing group. If the results are not what you expect, you can reapply the colors you want using the

Live Paint Bucket tool.

When you delete edges, the fill floods across any newly expanded face. For example, if you delete a path that divides a

circle in half, the circle is filled with one of the fills previously in the circle. You can sometimes help guide the results.

For instance, before deleting a path that divides a circle, first move it so that the fill you want to keep is larger than the

fill you want to remove.

Save the fill and stroke colors used in Live Paint groups in the Swatches panel. That way, if a change loses a color you

want to keep, you can select its swatch and use the Live Paint Bucket tool to reapply the fill or stroke.
