Paint is good for a nice, bold color, but there is a chance that you will accidentally paint over th springs so they won't work. Sharpies work the best for everyone. But, sometimes the color doesn't really look like the color you used. Some people say that Sharpie rubs off, but I've never expierienced(sp?) that. Marker, well if your talking Crayola Marker, that won't work at all. Definitely will rub off. Another choice to use is paint markers. They are easy to use like a Sharpie yet they give a good color.
Cool thanx for telling me that! I have Sharpies, I used it on my Cyborg Helios, but only a black sharpie. v.v I wanna buy a silver Sharpie at Wal-Mart when I'm not a poor ass. lol
