Hi everyone, I’ve got Roses from my brothers funeral and for some reason after I took out of the silica gel and put in a bowl that should’ve been air tight , they molded or something. Put them in sulfur to try kill what’s growing, can I spray paint them to give a better color ?

I'm sure you could! Or dip them in paint!
I just read this discussion about problems people have had preserving roses. A shadowbox with some petals from the Rose's and mementos of your brother may be the answer. I'm very sorry for your loss.

You can always try, but if they have moulded then they will just fall apart
I'm so sorry, but you might be able to hang them upside down and then give them a light spray with spray paint. I've seen people do it with delicate hydrangeas. Just don't concentrate the spray harshly in one area.
