In another topic it was suggested if you don't like the color of a battery to sand the color off, but before that I was wondering. What paints would be safe to paint a battery if you wanted to re-paint the battery? or if you just got tired of your current colors?

Personally I would just purchase a new battery ( depending on the model ) just to have a spare because by the time you purchase all the paint/spray paint maybe primer you could of purchased 2 batteries, but this is an interesting topic if you can find a method for a good price
Safe? I've used Acrylic Enamel or model paints like Testors for some pretty trippy designs. What color are planning to use? Just to let you know you don't need to sand it completely, take some 200 and just lightly sand the entire surface for adhesion. I have a friend who is a total Dead Head (All hail Jerry) and I dabble as an artist, so he asked me to hook-em up. I'll see if he still has the batt and try and post a pic. Keep in mind that you can't use the batt for couple of days afterwards until the paint fully cures.
That's true.. I'm happy with my battery colors. It was just something that had popped into my head a few days ago. I'm not sure if it is something I would do, but who knows what can happen in the future.
I was wondering if model paints would work or not. I'm not planning on any color right at the moment, but was just wondering what was best to use in case I ever wanted to.
