Sharpies might not show up well on your ti, BUT a "White-Out" or "Liquid Paper" mod could be the "next thing"! | | | 02-21-2010, 04:15 PM | #11 | That's not Millpoint Blue Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: BNA Posts: 3,161 | Quote: Originally Posted by MacUser Sharpies might not show up well on your ti, | I dunno about that.

I would use a paint pen and then clear coat that. I think this would be cool with some color combination like light blue on dark blue or yellow on red or something. I guess my point is - if you are going to put in the time... __________________ ... ʎɐqǝ uo pɹɐoqʎǝʞ ɐ ʎnq ı ǝɯıʇ ʇsɐן ǝɥʇ sı sıɥʇ | | | 02-21-2010, 05:10 PM | #13 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2009 Location: VIRGINIA Posts: 324 | Quote: Originally Posted by MacUser might not show up | I know, I know ... there are tons of varieties and colors of Sharpies!

I bet that silver metallic is expensive and less forgiving, though. | | | 02-21-2010, 07:40 PM | #14 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2009 Location: Denver Posts: 373 | There was a lambo featured on Supercars Exposed a while back that had the complete car done like that. I'm assuming that on any of these, as soon as the sharpie ink dries, its off to the paint shop to receive a clear coat.
