I would use it just on the outside for cosmetic purposes and being careful not to drip any inside. Is it safe? Should I just use a marker?

Yep, sand it a bit then nail polish and voila
of course, even better, get a sponge and some black spray in a can and spray it onto the sponge and tap the sponge where you want to paint it 😉
Yes. EVen a bit of sharpie works.
a black Sharpie (or Micron or Posca…) will coat better than nail polish. If you don’t like it, you’d still want sharpie under it for color hide.
yeah, it might wash off after some time
You can, but you can also get a little bottle of black automotive touch-up paint for a couple bucks.
Did someone run DOT fluid in those brakes?
Nail polish is a pretty decent idea actually. I’d probably try automotive touch-up paint since it will likely be more durable.
Don’t. Looks cool like that. It’s got character.
Personally I would fully disassemble it and completely re paint it but yes nail polish should work just take some red scotch Brite and getting all the crud off
Even better is a product called Aluminum Black. That’s what we use in the shop to cover up little accidents like this. One bottle will last a home mech a lifetime.
