hi all,

i'm working on a project that has lots of bare wires exposed, and i would like to cover them up with some kind of paint. the wires will be color coded, that's why i'm going with paint. project uses 15v. any thoughts on what kind of paint to use? acrylic? latex?

I used to use a product called "liquid Tape"

Worked alright.

Thanks Danno Gee Ray. I picked some up and tried it out. Pretty gloopy. I've surmised that doing many thin coats is the way to go. Seems like it's water soluble. I had black for ground. I opened up my red can and it was all dried out and hard as a rock, grrrrrrr. Have to return it. Thanks again for the help!
