Blank dye

Hello there,
I'm doing some experiments on re-painting a stripped blank.
My aim is to rebuild its original aspect, I mean a clear finish with semi-transparent dye to keep graphite spirals visible with a caramel-like color.
It seems I've found the right finish (acrylic paint in 2k flavour, to be spayed with an airbrush).

The problem now is the dye... usual epoxy pigments/inks are not strong enough to get a nice color, I need to find something vivid but transparent too to mimic its original factory aspect.

I'm thinking to have a try on leather dyes compatible with acrylic.

Any suggestion?

thanks

Call Lamiglas or one of the other US builders, they can tell you what they use. They have helped me before many times.
