The rubber on the outside of the cable or the metal part of the cable?

Yes you can paint the outside of the cable perfectly fine.

 

Stores sell cable wire channels or cable management systems which you can put right over cable wires to make them look neater. I think they would look better painted than just painting the cable wire itself.

Use something made to stick to rubber, like those markers people color in the text on their wheels with. I can usually find them at my local gas station

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

You should be extremely lucky to find an AUX cable that has exactly the same tint of colour that you need. ;-)

Who said he wanted something strange? Maybe be just wanted a red one, in that case it’s easy to find one.

Better off just buying one. Save money on paint and possibly breaking the cable.

 

Take your pick.
