I tried making a two tone jig, red and white. Everything went well until I colored the top portion of the chenille red and it bled thru to the bottom leaving no or very little white chenille showing. I used component systems "quick coat paint marker" Could that be my problem or will the chenille draw and soak up any type marker or colors. Thanks for any help, Pop

Check in the Jig Craft Tutorial's. There's a couple ideas there. There's also a "Laminated" look that is fairly easy to tie.

The CS pens as far as I know are for using on hard lures not on chenilles
I've used sharpie "Rub-A-Dub" laundry markers in the past for thread necks. Think they are only available in black though. Can't help past that. Sorry.
I've been working on learning to tie a woven body
