I like it in white - yellow sometimes will give the appearance of being dirty.

Not being a fan of painted letters, except on certain drag machines, I would chose white;
However an exception would be made for Goodyear since I saw the yellow for so many years on their blimp.

I'd pick the white over the yellow.

We did Silver on the Project 48. It matched the paint. Got the pen at autozone.

Can't tell from the pic so well...but in person it had a nice farkle to it.

How long has it been holding up? And was your prep similar to what has been described in this thread?

It's been over a year and holding up well.

Cleaned it with alcohol and then put two coats on it.

Been meaning to post a photo of the pen we used...just remembered to take the pic today.




It is labeled permanent, and it also has a little ball in it, like a spray paint can...you got shake it well before use.
