Default How do they paint the stripes on resistors, bumble bee caps, etc?

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?


Isn't it obvious? Early resistors were hand painted, then they
developed machines for the job.
