What is the most cost efficient and easiest way to get my bowties painted/colored

Is having the bowties painted the best route or vinyling them?
Where does one buy some black vinyl?
Thanks

ebay for the vinyl

I got mine from rydergraphix. They are spendy, but it appears to be of good quality

Vinyl for sure. I went to a sign store, got a sheet of black vinyl for free, and spent 30 minutes putting it on. Its been a month and a half and they still look great.

vinyl will cost less than buying a black bowtie, I do not suggest painting your stock bowtie because you never know what can happened in the future i.e you sell it or 1,000 other things,peace of mind to know you can strip it right off.. IMO
