I think it might depend on the type of resin, because there are components in
them that may act as solvents. I've found that if you use a metal primer, most any
enamel spray paint will work fine. Maybe even just the primer.

I don't paint them often, since I'm usually wrapping the tubes in paper labels.
But I've even used Sharpie markers to color the tubes black/dark before casting
colored resin
