I've seen in a few site people asking how to colour pen tubes. I use Sharpies & the colour quickly, easily & dry almost immediately. I've had no problem with the colour lifting when glue is applied & there is no wastage like you have with over spray. These ones are dark blue, red & purple.

CA glue doesn't seem to have any effect Vic. I've coloured my tubes this way for a long time now & it works ok.
