the martikan and Hochschorner paddles are impregnated with color in the micro-balloons... so the color is in the epoxy. Dave Florence also uses that same paddle, just clear carbon.
But I learned from Trevor Soileau that the Appliance paint works great for painting paddles, it abraids very well, and doesn't chip, but I did like 4 coats. I then went on to paint it blue with a general spray i think. and that held up until I snapped the blade off the shaft... the tiedye would be best i think if you were able to get it and then clear coat the crap out of it...
cheers
