Tape markings for springs / ARBs etc.

[mikeyscott]

Some of the manufacturers have markings that wear off pretty quick these days, can anyone recommend tape for helping identify spring / ARB colours etc.

I've seen these tapes on 1/8th cars etc.

Yes I prob could get some insulation tape or something, but looking for something reliable, neat and so forth that won't fall off at the first meeting.

Only thing that I can think of is some form of 3m tape. At the end of the day it needs to also be thin enough not to affect spring rates and so forth.

cable markers or heatshrink in various colours
