We consider a particle system on Zd with finite state space and interactions of infinite range. Assuming that the rate of change is continuous and decays sufficiently fast, we introduce a perfect simulation algorithm for the stationary process. The algorithm follows from a representation of the multicolor system as a finitary coding from a sequence of independent uniform random variables. This implies that the process is exponentially ergodic. The basic tool we use is a representation of the infinite range change rates as a mixture of finite range change rates.
