How Do I add modification color pointshop followers addon?

[Microsoft Ex]

Tried finding a way to do this to color the ballon dog for the addon pointshop pet followers

[url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTqoEhm9vfQ[/url] video showing what I want just for pet followers

would DModelPanel:SetColor work or Entity:SetColor? pls help

ITEM.Name = 'Dog'
ITEM.Price = 1000
ITEM.Model = 'models/balloons/balloon_dog.mdl'
ITEM.Follower = 'dog'
ITEM.AllowedUserGroups = { "donator", "admin", "superadmin" }

function ITEM:OnEquip(ply, modifications)
	ply:Fo_CreateFollower( self.Follower )
end

function ITEM:OnHolster(ply)
	ply:Fo_RemoveFollower( self.Follower )
end

I know this is a stupid question but could I use the code similar below for the playermodel modifcation color and replace ply:SetPlayerColor or something similar?

function ITEM:OnEquip(ply, modifications)
	if not ply._OldModel then
		ply._OldModel = ply:GetModel()
	end
	if modifications.color ~= nil then
		borkolor = modifications.color
	ply:SetPlayerColor(Vector( borkolor.r / 255, borkolor.g / 255, borkolor.b / 255))
	end
	timer.Simple(2, function() ply:SetModel(self.Model) ply:SetupHands() end)
end

function ITEM:OnHolster(ply)
	if ply._OldModel then
		ply:SetModel(ply._OldModel)
		ply:SetPlayerColor(Vector(0.24, 0.34, 0.41)) --Default color, according to my research
	end
end

function ITEM:Modify(modifications)
		PS:ShowColorChooser(self, modifications)
end

function ITEM:OnModify(ply, modifications)
    self:OnHolster(ply)
    self:OnEquip(ply, modifications) -- adds the item back again, with new mods
end
