I've used some copper pipe in a model I've built. It's going to get played with by children, and I need to do something to stop their hands going black, as happens when you handle copper and keep rubbing new oxide off. I picked up a small tin of black enamel model paint in a shop yesterday. Is this suitable for painting onto copper and not too easily rub off, and if so, any surface preparation besides cleaning with steel wool?
