Best way to permanently color metal screwdriver bits for easy identification.

Edding Paint Pen Markers, used these forever in industry and a bugger to get off.
They come in a variety of tip sizes and colours.

Some that I have used simple spray enamel on have lasted ten years.  They don't have all the paint on them after this time, but there is plenty for identification.  One of the secrets is thorough cleaning before painting.

I have these and have not found their paint to be particularly durable, neither mechanically nor chemically. :/

I use the fine ones in white, perhaps the thick ones (or other colors) use different paint??

LaserSteve:
Buy Marked bits from Chapman Manufacturing  and get a pair of glasses / put a magnifier in the set? That was my solution, works great.

A cheap homemade solution, if you just need the type and not the size, may be to use small pieces of colored heatshrink.

Yes!  perfect solution.
