Vocabulary
Get him covered in red, blue, and yellow
Hi,
I have translated this sentence from my mother tongue into English, can you see if there is a problem?
Jason (a five-year-old boy) said: If I spatter the paint on my little brother, and get him covered in red, blue, and yellow, do you still love me ?
Thank you very much.

You need to use one of the conditional tenses (or moods) here.
If the boy is holding a paintbrush, ready to splatter his brother (i.e. there's a real possibility that he'll do it) use the first conditional: If I spatter the paint on my little brother and get him covered in red, blue, and yellow, will you still love me ?

That is not what I meant. You could say
"I just spattered paint on my little brother; do you still love me?"
However, if you have not actually painted him yet, it is a conditional situation (If I did...) and you use would instead of do.
