Title: seat resto.. hope you like.
Post by: sid1972 on July 27, 2010, 06:13 PM: use these pens at work a bit and they seem to adhere to anything, so I thought... :P

was once a lavender seat, quick flat on the shiney bits - applied paint pen all in one direction,

my intention is to give some hammer and find out - but even the dying method 'wears off' because it is only sat on the surface as well. ;)

'tool of taggers' - oh yes, I have a class of bad lads at school and I got these to do a graffiti project with them, they loved it and so did I.. >:D

:shocked: at the results to be honest, going to get riding and see how long it last - it looks fantastic for a carpet queen though.. :daumenhoch:

IF ANY HARO OWNERS GET WIND OF THIS CONVERSATION - WE ARE DEAD! :-X

I have got a blue - but black is more literal, less variable if get what I mean. Unless you are changing it to black? And if thats the case, NOS I would never try it! :crazy2:

Post by: griff on May 05, 2011, 12:06 AM: aaah the posca - that just took me right back to the 80s - remember the day me and my mate found out you could unscrew them (the thread goes the wrong way) for ages no-one by us knew where we had got the custom colours :coolsmiley: used to use em on my fat laced puma suede stripes to match whatever colour I had on the go ;) :angel:

light blue + pink if you want to go back to lavender

artliner were good too much less messy than home-made efforts
