    Default Best pen for autographing transformers?

    Hi all,

    I'm heading to Supanova in Brisbane on Sunday and am planning to take my MP-10 trailer and having Peter Cullan sign on the trailer's white strip.

    What pen would be best for this?

    I'm imagining a normal permanent marker will smudge.

    Would a Gundam marker work?

    Any other ideas?

    Thanks for any and all assistance!

    I use the Artline 999 in silver when I get stuff signed. It looks good but it needs a few minutes drying time or it will smudge and look terrible. I always shake it up and test it beforehand as well.

    Thanks for the info gamblor916!

    Can you get these from the newsagent or would I have to go to a special craft store?

    I'm guessing gold might look better than silver on white paint.

    I get mine from a local newsagent though craft stores would probably have it too.

    I'd go for a black sharpie, on a white background but the reflective metallic would also look good.

    Thanks for the tips!

    Leaning towards an Artline paint pen, since they come in black

    I had a box signed with just a black sharpie. Not sure about plastic. I've used silver metallic markers (Sharpie on my Custom Lego Jango Fett) and it doesn't seem to come off.
