So I want to put color on a carved portion of a foam pumpkin. I have seen it done on pumpkins in the past, but don't know how it was done. Any advice from anyone? I tried a marker but that is not working. Thinking next step, watered down acrylic paint, but I would love to know if anyone has made this work.

I have used spray paint. Worked okay I guess. I just finished one and will try and post a picture tonight.

I thought about doing that to the Age Of The Zombie Pumpkins! pattern I planned on doing. That way it looks like the mascot on the main site.

I used acrylic craft paint, worked quite nicely. I have done this with the Michael's pumpkins, but not a Funkin. I think it should work pretty much the same though.

The new Permant Marker Brush Tip pens don't work. Too dark...

Are you putting color on the outside skin, or the inside? and how big of a portion are we talking about? I used spray paint a few times on the inside of my michaels gemmy's and the paint seems to stick pretty well. I used some duplicolor brand auto engine enamel that i got at the car parts store. if you are doing the exterior of the 'kin, you'll probably be better off with a brush and acrylics depending on how detailed you are needing it to be.

I was trying to color the carved portion of a design. Tried the permanent marker brush pin, but it didn't work. Too Dark. I'm thinking maybe watered down acrylic paint and brushed onto the shaved portion. We shall see
