Default what paint to use on hoodliner??

I have been debating on a design for the hood liner and I think I finally have one in mind, but I need to know what type of paint to use.

I know about the black BBQ paint folks have mentioned for the coating of the liner, but for other colors what should I use...any help would be greatly appreciated.

I will definately post up pics of my attempt at art upon completion.

Testor's Paint pens.... They have a flat spade type tip whcih is much preferable for both edging and filling than the round style tip on the Elmer's product.

They are widely available at local hobby shops or atthe following national chains

Hobby Lobby
Michael's
Joanne's
Walmart

I've always found these items at any auto parts store. In CA I found them at Pep Boys; here in Alaska they're at Schucks. I suspect most auto parts stores carry these.
