You rule marker dude. you should try the white-out idea. I'd like to see if that would work. You could use it to paint white and also back up colors. well, hope to see more pics. and, to everyone else, stop hatin', it gives you wrinkles.

Cool

as for prices,get ahold of this:
1 shaprie:.99
1 can of paint: $4.00

More colors for less money, u do the math.
plus, no cleanup,no messy aerosols,tanks, spray booths.

Another idea: "anodize" your chrome parts to any color u need.

I agree, why don't everyone just leave the guy alone. Most of us here are adults why not act like it. After my post everyone stop posting here & leave it alone.

Nice job. Different look. But what if you wash it with water? I think that will come off right?

i don't know what the fuss is all about. it's his body, do as you please. ay i like it. just a word of caution though i used a sharpie pen to do writting on the inside of my first bodies. for the first few weeks it looks good but it starts to bleed into the paint after a while and fads a bit and it looks crappy after that so yeah don't do highlight marks witha sharpie as it goes all weird after a while once painted over with fascolour.

And just think, I believe Acetone will remove it from Lexan. Think how much you could save on bodies when you want to change your paint scheme. JMO

Denatured Alcohol will do the same trick. I don't believe acetone will harm the lexan either.

Motor spray works well to remove sharpie.

If used very lightly, acetone will work. If used heavily, acetone will disintegrate lexan.
