SCBA Cylinder Markings

We just had 13 cylinders expire so we purchased 16 composite cylinders.We are having trouble keeping the cylinders marked with our department name and cylinder number.I was hoping to get some input on what everybody uses and what works best for them.
                                                                                                    Thanks

we used paint with stencils to denote or dept. We don't number the bottle's as we only have a few composite packs.

Do you clear that with the cylinder manufacturer? If not, you might want to make sure that the expoxy you use won't damage the cylinder or weaken the cylinder shell over time with heat and UV exposure.

We stick stickers with our company name on ours.

I might have missed something else that identifies them, but that is what I saw on our cylinders.
