What about the console and cubby hole? Or are you going all out on your interior, in which case I can't possibly wait to see it.

Looks great dude!!

I tried the fine tip on 2 threads on the back of the cloth seat to see if it would be possible. I think it would be possible if there were an "extra fine" tip but even with the fine tip it is still to wide and impossible not to get on the black cloth.

If anyone comes across an extra fine tipped marker let me know.

I live in Panama, Central America, so no Walmart for me. I went to MarkerSupply.com and found a nice variety of Elmer's Painters Markers.

There's supposed to be an Ultra Fine tip but the have it available ON SALE and only in blue. Can't find any other ultra fine tips on the site.

They do have the Fine and Medium tips in several colors...

I called Elmer's and they told me that they dont sell a red ultra fine. So i guess im outta luck unless i can find another brand.

*i just found Deco color makes an ultra fine in red and it sells on the website markersupply.com I'm going to get a couple and try them out.

i wonder how the long term durability is gonna be? You'd think the driver seat area on the left would wear off real fast from getting in and out so often. And then there is fading from the sun as well.... well its not like it cant be reapplied!

True. Some of the Camaro guys say it'll last for months. Not sure about the acrylic though as some of them are using the dye. Like you said, it can be easily reapplied if it does fade down the road.

anyone else try this and have pics?

also, anyone have a direct link to a red ultra fine marker?

ThoriumHotdog · 02-02-2011, 05:14 AM
