Hate Red Sata Cables?
 Info: I started this project because i was not going to spend 20 dollars per cord for black cords. So i made my own. Materials Needed: Scotch Blue Painters Tape:  Paint: (You can use whatever color you want. I just chose black)  Sata Cords:  Drying Time: All Drying times differ. If you use a plastic based paint is should only take roughly 2-4 hours to dry. Usually i wait 2 days, if you live in a humid area. If you use Metal paint, It can take a while to dry. ( usually 1-4 days.) Check the back of your paint can and see what the drying time says. Step One: Tape Off the ends of the sata cord.  Step Two: Hang the Cord High up somewere.  Step Three: Paint the Cord. Make sure to get the edges.  Step Four: Allow the Paint to dry. Step Five: Have fun with a Black Sata Cord.

Does this actually work? I was considering it with my IDE cables, but was worried it would flake off when the cable is bent?

I would only use water based spray paint on cables because some of the tougher oil based ones can eat away at plastic.

Where did you find black cables for $20?

Dude, yes! I need black SATA cords because they would be less of in eyesore in my case, however for some reason not many people carry them and they're ridiculously expensive including shipping.
