My car is nearly ready for painting, I was hoping it would have been done by now but it is getting very close, since my last visit the rollbar brackets welded in and interior 100% ready, the front guards welded on and all seams removed, body gaps on the bonnet and doors are perfect and they are just fixing the fit of the boot so not much longer to go.

I just got back from having a look at it (7 hour return trip) and saw the car before mine was still in the workshop. On the inside of the boot that is going to be covered in carpet but easy to remove the owner and all his children had written their names with a black texta. (I think texta is an Australian term and the rest of the world call them felt tipped markers).

I am planning on doing the same thing in a few weeks but thought it could be cool to have my nearly two year old grand daughter to do a hand print and years later I can show her her hand print when she was so little. Currently she loves to scribble on anything she is allowed to but I prefer the idea of a hand print to some unrecognisable scribble.

Any ideas on type of paint to use that will do a neat job but also last? I am thinking maybe using one of these to cover her hand with paint and then she can put it on the body part and hopefully get a neater job than her putting her hand in a tin of paint, I can also then write my name and date etc. on the body part using the same paint pen. I notice they make 3mm and 15mm pens so maybe easier to buy one of each and use 15mm to cover her hand and 3mm for writing. Anyone used one on a clear coated car interior piece of body, or kow of anything better?
