Another option that would likely be superior to black magic marker is Duracoat, which can apparently be obtained in a DIY spray kit for about $35.

Two things come to mind looking at Les's pics. Chuck Haggard's flash bang .357 ammo and George Thorogood:

Beware of my temper, and the dog that I've found...
Regarding the marker bit....
I think the camo finish was maybe Duracoat...
The frame is plastic, and the sharpie seemed to hold up well to solvents. And it was cheap.
So... I blasted the remaining 38-44 Hi Speed ammo I had out of the LCR and chrono'd some.
Federal 129gr Hydra-Shok JHP +P (P38HS1) averaged 885 fps with a SD 8 fps.
SuperVel 90gr Super Snub JHP +P averaged 1228 fps with a SD of 22 fps.
Winchester 130gr FMJ averaged 760 fps with a SD of 17 fps.
Remington 158gr LRN averaged 709 fps with a SD of 5 fps.
Remington 158gr SJHP Hi-Speed averaged 850 fps with a SD of 24 fps.
Remington 125gr SJHP Hi-Speed averaged 958 fps with a SD of 26 fps.
The 158 Hi Speed's felt like a hammer hitting your hand. I shot the entire remaining box while giggling... That getting close to .357 magnum performance in a short barrel.
Are those the .38/44 loads? Because the fire ball and report sound way more impressive!
I also chrono'd some N110 loads through my 2.5" Model 66. 158 grain XTPs at a starting book load and got 1250 fps. I was pretty shocked they went that fast. Very little fire ball too.
