Default How do they paint the stripes on resistors, bumble bee caps, etc?
In article ,
says...

I've always wondered how they paint on the colored stripes. I put "how
do they paint the stripes on resistors" on google, but all I got was
links explaining how to READ color codes.

Has anyone ever heard anything about this process?

No, but after an hour or so hunting through my father's random box of
hundreds of resistors looking for the value I wanted, I got a powerful
urge to take any old one and paint on the right colours... (Never did,
though!)

Mike.
