marker pens work quite well and the colour seesm to be sucked into the print.
But then I'm about as artistic as a fine arts graduate who thinks a pile of bricks is art :-)

marker pens work quite well. You tend to get a sort of pastel colour pallet though.
paint wise - standard model paints should work well as they are designed for plastic.

I've used Acrylic paint from the local hobby shop on both PLA and PETG and it worked well. And by worked well, I would say, it stuck to the print and appears to be fairly durable. I'm not an artist though, so the bad brush strokes are my fault not the paint: http://www.thingiverse.com/make:166431

Also check out the work of Joris van Tubergen, he wrote Cura plugins that make the printer build up layers in a three-dimensional way such as in wave-patterns:

The man does good things for 3D printing anyway - www.rooiejoris.nl

I'd like to see how he powered the ultimaker that got shipped while it was printing.
Clever that.

If you want extremely durable paint, you could try disolving different color plastics and using the mixture as paint.
Printer will print perfect...
