I have painted RI using everclear and dusts mixed together - it did not melt. I have also painted it using gel colors watered down with everclear and airbrush colors straight from the bottle.
edited to add: if you only want a single color - yes, I would color the RI instead of painting it.
yep, I've done it too. As long as the RI is totally dry, I just paint on it with paste color mixed with vodka or lemon extract.
makes no difference if you color the RI first or not. the powders and the colors painted on like the other two told you will still work.
your project sounds cute.
