# Color your 3D printed Shapeways models

December 1, 2008

It is really cool to see how coloring your own 3D models is starting to take shape. We had a lot of requests here at Shapeways how to paint/color your own models and the tutorial featuring it is now available [here](/content/tutorials/painting3dprintedsls/index.html).

Have a look at the pictures below

Or have a look at these little rings colored with [Ecoline](http://www.greatart.co.uk/TALENSECOLINE-inks.htm), thanks to Peter Paul who really enjoyed himself getting all the colors he had on them 🙂

Looking forward to more creative colorfull creations in our forums or elsewhere!

To share please upload nice pictures to your model details page or in our [forum](/content/forum/index.html) at the “it arrived” topic.
