Probably I'm asking something stupid, but I have some way loong white cables, and would like to paint them black (I always stealth).
Is this totally safe?
mm what kind of marker is exactly that one?
One thing to note is if the cables have a teflon jacket (like the AudioMagic Hyperconductors), nothing is likely to stick/stay on. A more involved, but longer lasting, solution would be to remove one of the XLR ends from each cable, cover the cable in black techflex, and then re-solder the XLR connector back on. A bit of effort involved, but you'll have a very nice set of cables when you're done.
IF using paint, oil-base may work out decently

An Oil/solvent based paint will more than likely be way to brittle once cured . It will flake like theres no tomorrow
If you gonna try anything I would suggest trying the Krylon Fusion

or better yet the Acrylic/latex spray that krylon just came out with may be your best bet as being an acrylic will be very flexible..

I'll tell you what do I do finally. Tonight Cure show will be done with white cables, though :)
