You should use a proper pen for it:wink: Makes a difference and stays a bit longer under the hood.

Yeah thats cool as .......!!

Whats a proper pen Lucius?

I remember years ago drawing a fake rubber seal on a replica GTiR bonnet vent. I painted the bonnet white , to match the car , in basecoat. Then suddenly got this "brainwave" to draw in a fake rubber seal with a black permanent marker which just happened to be in my pocket. It looked brilliant ! So I started lacquering ..... First coat still looked great , second coat same , third coat/final coat still looked great for about a minute until it started to bleed!!! 5 mins later I had the biggest mess ever - the ink bled into the clear coat and went all blotchy!

Id hate to see this happen to your rocker cover ...........

Whats the secret Lucius ????

[haydn itr]

Iv lacquered it since and it's fine ! Still not fitted tho ! Ye be interested to know what's best a paint pen probably !

[Lucius]

Try to wrap that cover first with some good quality vinyl, and then made sharpie on it;) Make sure is applied properly, heat gun or at least hair dryer is a must.
Something like this:
