I've seen people post up pics of their blacked out servo wires. What kind of dye is used (hopefully not Sharpie) and are there any special techniques? Currently I either buy black wire and resolder it, or put heat shrink over the wire. I am also aware there is spiral wrap.

I just read that Bob Stormer says sharpie works well. He's a reliable source, so maybe I'll try that. I was also thinking nail polish.

Nail polish is a thick lacquer based paint. When it dries, it will crack if it flexes even the slightest amount at all.

Most of us use a sharpie marker or paint pen. Either will pass the 3 foot test. I prefer a paint pen prior to installation.

X2 on the paint pen. Acrylic flat black works great.

I found the sharpie rubs of after awhile...

All, thanks for the replies.

Also, I asked the wife earlier about the nail polish and here comments reflected yours.
