A paint pen would be best on something like that imo.

Many manufacturers make "Industrial" pens for use on metal - Rilbex makes pens for use on metal as well. A paint pen could react with the metal so I'd try to use something meant for this application.

Say, will ink even stick to Vibranium? ;)

No, really my first thought would be a paint pen.  But I would defer to Eric on this.

I am using PILOT metallic pen.  I use them for things like signing photographs or paintings where I need the metallic ink and the smallness of the ultra-fine tip. I knew these were top quality the minute I took them out of the package and they had the ball in the barrel to "stir" the paint. The fine point also retracts to allow the paint to flow for just the right amount of paint for a small job. They are also wonderful on glass and other hard objects.

I think Sharpie is one of the best markers for metal. I also like how vibrant the colors are. Even when working with a shiny and dark surface, such as metal, the ink colors explode and remain vibrant. Other markers tend to wash out when the surface is already reflecting, but I didn't have that problem with these.
