I want to say you can use acrilic paints to color it. But I might be wrong. You can always try a little bit to see.

have you tried calling the company to find out? I thought it was suppose to be just like RI so I thought you could use the Americolor gels in it?

I have used perma-ice and the instructions I had stated that you cannot use food colors - that you have to use acrylic color.

That's what I thought. So can you go to walmart or micheals or hobby lobby and just buy acrylic paints and just add a drop or tow till you get the color you want?

Basically that is right. You buy tubes of pain like one would use to paint a picture.

yes, acrylic paint and you will probably need to add some water (very small amount at a time) to bring it to the right consistency.
Work fast because it dries VERY fast. icon_smile.gif
