Making cables pretty


What are the best techniques for making cables look pretty. I'm thinking of wiring my rear surrounds with Kimber 4PR. Unfortunately, I'm going to need to wire it along the carpet's edge and then up the wall, since I'm not wiring into the walls right now. Trouble is, the cable is brown, and my carpet and walls are off-white.

Are there any tricks to get the cable to "disappear" (spraypaint? cable covers? tape?).

Thanks,
Matt.

Order a roll of heat shrink sleeving (whatever diameter you need) from an electronic supply like Allied or Newark. Cut to length & then slide it over your cables; just don't heat shrink it since that would make it harder to remove if you ever want to change colors or revert to the natural finish. For Kimber 4TC size cable, around a 1/4" to 3/8" sleeve I believe would fit.
