I honestly don't know. Since it's water proof, it might be kind of hard to get paint to adhere to it.

if you get the paint to adhere to it i think your main problem is going to be if any paint chips off it obviously not good for the gecko, probably could be done thought. also you might be able to paint it while it's still gummy and might adhere better then just don't know and im going on speculation on this one.

I wouldn't try to paint epoxy while it's still tacky. It might screw up the chemical reaction.

true wasn't thinking about that

You certainly could stick stuff into the grout before it dries though (rocks, stones, sticks, etc) to make it look more realistic. With 220 different color combos, I don't know why you wouldn't want to use part C though. Why paint it when you can have color that goes all the way through? That way if it gets scratched, etc, it still has the same color underneath the surface. If you really wanted it super realistic, I suppose you could try airbrushing some shading on to it. But again, I'm not sure how well it would stick to the surface of the epoxy.
