Skin-on-Frame: Coloring skinboat

Hi,

I will be finishing up my first greenland kayak in the next few weeks (very exciting!), and I would like to color the skin. I'm thinking green or orange, but I'm not sure how to accomplish this. Can I use artists oils mixed into polyurethane on a nylon skin, or am I limited to acid dye?

I appreciate your advice.

Rick
