What colour wig are you getting? You can't dye a wig lighter than it is originally. You can sharpie them, but that takes a lot of patience and in the case of silver will still come off. You're probably better off getting a white or grey wig and just using it in its natural state, or getting a white wig and Katie Bair's wig dye. Then again, you might want to check in the wig thread.

NUUUUUUUUU DO NOT USE SPRAY PAINT! It will be all stiff and weird looking, not to mention some pieces will stick out at random while others will be weighed down and it will smell bad, unless you smoosh it around with your hands, and even then it'll look all hand-combed and weird. The paint will probably damage the fibres as well. You'd be better off using coloured hairspray on your own hair.
