    i think crayon works like wax on string, it'll show but it'll come off fast

    my main concern with that would be that in the spray paint there are chemicals in the can that are usesd to put out the paint/spray it out and that could be crossive to the strings itself. I know there are spraypaints that dont have these chemicals though like model spraypaints so that could work.

    even if we use original stencil ink, the string will break faster than normal. The reason to draw logo on the string is only we will feel stylish, like pro's, but the string will break easily.
