What's the best way to color needles for white face gauge overlays

Hi,just got my white gauge overlays from Macewen & was wondering what everybody used (that worked!) to color the needles.
I know on his website,he talks about some felt pens,but just wanted some real world experiences as to what worked & what didn't work,if it lasted etc.
I would probably like to go with a red or an orangy red to match future gauge's in the A-pillar.
Thanks for any insight you may have.
