It must have taken a long time, i would have just sprayed it black, takes 15 mins :confused:

I didn't think you where be a jerk but a butthead yes lol.

Was being cheap. I had a lot of sharpies laying around so I though why not lol. It looks a lot better now since I used 4 more sharpies.


It took a little over a hour just to get it colored in and another 2 hours just trying to get the body the way I wanted it lol.

now thats a great idea!!!
i dont think sharpie can chip like regular paint either, i bet that'd be pretty damn durable.
thumbs up!

lol, Cheap? A spray can of paint is like $6....lol :o

You might have a good idea though as far as durability. This wont chip or flake, and they sell sharpies in all different colors including silver. I might try out silver for some grills/bumpers and other small details :nod:

Thanks guys.

No I doesn't flake and since I did it under where you would paint the scratches won't even show up and since is a sharpie it could get wet and not peal..

Look at the pics with the Ford body. I got tired of Wateing on my F650 stickers and took the sharpie and did the grill lights door handles and also I gave it a name lol. It's called the angry lil bee.
