How do you label HSS lathe tools?

Those of us with a little experience can recognize the tools by sight.

Pacifica,
I've never heard of a paint marker! Which brand do you use?

Any of these work well-I try to cap immediately after I use and put in a plastic bag for storage. After several years they haven't dried up or quit flowing. https://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/43475169 . Colors I use are white, black and orange. I like to put orange on drill chucks and the appropriate key so I no which fits which.

Say you have 5 similar 3/8" drill bits, 2 of them are extremely accurate with less than >.001" . I will mark these with paint on the accurate ones to use for certain operations. It takes a little time to check R/O so I prefer to have the bits labeled.
