Dan,
couple of options:
- minwax, mask then spraypaint (airbrush or rattle-can)
- *Carefully* applied monocote (watch the temp on the covering iron)
- cut self-adhesive vinyl (check out local sign shops for scap)
- colored packing tape.
haven't got that far on mine (really need to get back to it), but I was planing on airbrushing.
I've done colored packing tape, and it would look nice, but you'd have to order the tape online. It'll probably be my fall-back if I can't get this stupid brush to work right!
