Model makers enamel such as Humbrol should do the job. Other makes are available

I used a simple black waterproof marker and ink to draw a little pilgrim and the Camino cross. To keep it nice I put on couple of layers of Varnish for Acrylic paint. Maybe not the most professional option, but it worked just fine. Still looks pretty good after 1250 km of walking.

I would think that acrylic paints would work well
