Thanks everyone! Dan, I am more interested in paint for decoration so ink / markers could be a good option. Any suggestions there?
Simple Sharpies could work, but I couldn't find much info on their heat resistance. This material safety data sheet just says "boiling point somewhere over 100F" which isn't very helpful http://www.sharpie.co.uk/pdf/SharpiePro.pdf They also offer industrial markers that have ratings up to 500F which could be better http://www.sharpie.com/enus/pages/proindustrial.aspx Maybe something like this? http://www.durablesupply.com/higtemacmar4.html#.VMv0A17F_tI Maybe temperature is not much of a concern though?
