go to wally world and get acrylic paint, you have to thin it though. I use createx and it is on the expensive side compared to the other stuff. You can get Envirotex at A.C.Moores or Michaels. Wait till they have a 40% discount coupon in the paper and it won't hurt so bad. (they have them every other week or so and are good for 1 item)
