I've tried one of those tyre pens (to make the letters look white like in motorsport) but it just comes off after about one day. And the fact that it takes so long to do makes it seem pointless.

I was just wondering whether my pen was poo and some of them really work, or if they're all the same. Has anyone else used them?? Unless there's a better way than pens??

Cheers. Guido.

I've just noticed that the poll options dont make sense being "yes" and "no" but never mind!
