[ARC5] Peeling Paint Perplexities

[Scott Johnson]

Testors makes paint markers in all the really needed colors - gloss black,
flat black, white,red, silver.  It is the same enamel paint as used in the
little bottles of Testrors model paints.  They are available at hobby and
hardware stores (ACE, Michaels, Hobby Lobby, etc.

I've never seen the paint markers. Are they also felt tip? Is the paint
really opaque? Where are they sold?

To get the standard Sharpie to give uniform, dark color, I generally have to
go over an area several times.

Best,
