Hey Guys,
What type of pen/pencil/whatever do you use to write "LF" (left front), "RR" (right rear), etc. markings on 1/24 scale race car tires?
Thanks in advance,
Rick
PS I did a search and looked in tutorial, no info found.

Ive heard of using a gel pen to do it.
Once piece of advice I coudl give. If the tires are vinyl, then stay as far away from Enamel paints as you can get, as the enamel will react w/ the vinyl and the paint will never dry completely.
