Yes. Some research tells me that most paints other than watercolor work, but Acrylic is recommended.

As for how to do it, something about dipping the paintbrush in the paint and the smearing the paint on the stacks seems to be a good course of action.

Note - Paint the underside of the z stacks. And remember its going to be reversed.

You can get some fantastic outcomes with patience and layering.
