Default Gear marking compound

I talked to Toms today about my gears. he suggested to get the Ford Gear marking compound. It is white vs the GM which is yellow. Said it shows up much better. Since I can't find the GM compound within a 20 mile radius of my house, must be 15 GM dealers I'll try and locate the Ford stuff. Anybody ever use this and would you have a part number for it. Can't seem to locate it on the Ford site.

Gordon I used it and bought it from Tom. I didn't like it and not because it was a FORD product. I would stay with the yellow GM stuff it gave a better pattern for me.

I did not have time today, I hate when work gets in the way. I'll be over in Philly tomorrow right by a mile of dealers. If I can't locate some I'll let you know. I should be able to find it! Its not like I live in the middle of nowhere.

Go to a local Art supply store with Windsor-Newton oil paints and buy "Tiatanium White" paint for less than the Ford dealer gets for their marking compound.
