So this post answers my question it seems.If I am wrong please let me know.I have blues and blacks out of paint breeding.I was thinking that they will throw paints if bred together.The ones I will breed are really nice silkies,the pullets are awesome so that leads me to believe if they do throw paints that the offspring will be pretty good birds in their own right.I know the paints are a work in progress right now and I have not breed any at all.Any input?

So i ordered some eggs and in those eggs are paint silkies. I was reading somewhere that paint silkies dont breed true. So what color will the produce and what do i breed them too to make more?

Out of curiosity, how do you know your hen is dominant white ratehr than the usual recessive white?

They can produce all kinds of colors. I would put them with white or black only for now but I'm still new to them as well. Maybe some more experienced breeders will chime in.
