I've used fiberglass resin tint. Available in many colors.
Surfboard supply companies carry it. Greenlight surf supply is where I purchased mine. Don't know about their int. shipping.

Be aware...I asked Devcon some years ago about tinting the stuff and they advised that they had tried many things in that line, but ALL of them reduced the strength of the epoxy. If you are bedding the action, I'd just paint the exposed part. JMHO

+1 on this suggestion. The tinting I have done was for grip stippling.
