Annodize, not paint, in any number of colors. And, of course, laser scribed with evil runes to render curse on all who oppose you...

I use them to support the hanging hooks for my bikes so I don't have to drill the hooks into the wall. The magnets stick to the steel support beams behind the drywall of my apartment, and the hooks are welded onto a piece of steel that's stuck onto the magnet. Then the bikes just hang off the hooks.

quite ingenious!

Though to be honest I bought them because I could and I didn't find a use for them for quite some time.

yeah neodymium magnets are a lot of fun. I'd been toying with the idea of getting some for years but only now have thought of an application.

Maybe you can make a coilgun out of this. Chekhonte's new magnets should make good bullets for it.

I like the way you think.
