Paint pens to paint a basketball?

I wanted to use paint pens (black and white) to paint on a black and white basketball (black on white and white on black of course =P) and so I was wondering what would b good paint pens to use? water or oil base? brand? The basketball will b used so something that doesn't smudge

Answer:

No paint will withstand a basketball being used. I would use a sharpie. Even then, if its going to be used, it will not last long
Paint pens are probably not a good idea. While paint pens can sustain water wear and other weather conditions, they tend to wear away when they get rubbed on and stuff. So if youre bouncing the basketball, its going to scratch off instantly. You could actually try painting with spray paint or something? It wont last forever, but you could still do it. Cover up the sections where you DONT want the black paint to go with tape, spray it, let it dry, then do the same with the while sections. That would look nice c:
