You might try acrylic paints instead. Dilute them at least 100% and use a spray bottle to cover them. Allow the natural beading action of the water/acrylic to color the detail while the higher surfaces stay clear lending themselves to the impression that they, too, are colored, just a different color.
the dye that we shake into the molds are a iron oxide pigment (Powder)then mist with water then the concrete mix is poured the dry then demold do you think paint will still work if these stone are used outside
geowrge where are you from
Paint isn't going to cut it. You Need acid dyes
You can make some cool stuff, small amount into concrete just before pouring, swirl with stick and the rock will have swirled color thru it.It's neat to play with.
Just takes till curing to see if you have what you want, that part sucks.
