paint candles without candle paint?

[thixle]

Can I? :
I tried googling, but the google gods have failed me.
I have 2 large crazy shaped candles that are painted silver and the paint is chipping off.... but not enough to look good, kwim? They are staring at me, mocking me... I have to do something or they are getting donated. And I like the shape, kinda pumpkin-like-starburst-like-cool.

You could try melting crayons and painting with that, or cutting out and pressing on beeswax shapes.

Could you carve designs out, so some parts would still be painted and others white (I'm assuming the wax is white underneath.)
