Posted May 1, 2020 I doubt paint would grab on to the cables. As you plug and unplug them it'd be all over your hands. Instead of the hussle, spend more and buy a high quality PSU.

Posted May 1, 2020 You can use black permanent marker pens to make the cables black. Won't be perfect but will be better than using paint. You can buy sleeving separately. On a non modular power supply, if you're good with a soldering iron, you could open the power supply, desolder the wires, insert sleeving and solder the wires back to the circuit board.

Posted May 1, 2020 What PSU are you thinking about buying?
