Markal Paint Stick     3 or 4 dollars apiece.  come in many colors
   Looks like a large crayon.

Scrape the surface of the stick to get to soft material, rub it on until 
letters are completely filled, rub off the excess, let it set.

   These are specifically made for shifter knobs and crane knobs and 
other demanding hard to mark numbers or letters.
Makes a nice color filler for narrow handle grooves too.

    They won't work for teensy shallow markings. But for fairly bold 
markings it goes on easy, hardens overnight, and lasts in even harsh 
environments. I have been using them forever.
  A stick will last the rest of your life.
     yours Scott
