I've yet to run into any bleeding issues with my pigma brand pens.  :D
I have not sprayed them with an enamel yet though.

To a first estimate, if it'll move the ink, it'll probably move the paint as well! Most pen inks are pretty stable when hit with acrylic or enamel based materials. You'll hit problems if you use something heavily alcohol based or that involves a strong organic solvent (acetone, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate etc).
Measure with a micrometer, mark with chalk, cut with an axe, hammer to fit, paint to match!

Re: Micro Pens? - With Rowney FW inks

Great news, thanks for trying.

No problem! One of the downsides of using Rotrings for me was the parlous selection of ink colours. Black's too stark for a lot of things and brilliant red, blue or green have limited applications! The Rowney FW range is pretty big and intermixable, so this might be the beginning of a new era for me.
