Velocity Yellow permanent marker?
I can't remember where I bought the cloth yellow dye pen for stitching. Does anyone know where I can get a fine tipped permanent velocity yellow marker?
thanks John |

How long does it take to color all the stitches ??

I think he's trying to color the Corvette lettering on his wheels. I'll be interested to see the results.

If you have a Hobby Lobby store near you, check with them. I bought a fabric pen in blue from them that matched the blue threads on my C5 logos that were done by Vette Essentials. I think the pen is called Stained by Sharpie.

https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...post1591470071 I think it looks good. Are your wheels silver or black? I'll be watching to see what you do. :) |

https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...post1591470071 That looks sharp. I'm kinda out of luck because I have machine faced wheels and a Long Beach Red car. So painting LBR on black isn't worth the effort, it just doesn't show that well. Yellow looks really good. |

Just the lettering though, right?

(I know, we can argue about that another time.lol) but should I cross them when I put them back on?. My thoughts are, once a tire has been driven on for some time ie: heated/cooled back down etc. That the molecular structure has been set in a certain order and that driving it in so that it now spins the opposite way would "mess up tire"....advice? |
Ok, job done. Took about 1.5 hours. Got 2 markers from here:
http://www.markersupply.com/zigtema1.html#.VW0zLkb5GXo I learned a lot about application tips from: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/...ever-imho.html The steering wheel is a little challenge but starting up turning it and stopping it made it doable. The front of the A8 shift boot required putting the shifter in N and then shutting off engine and finally putting the shifter in M to get the best access. Wipe at least every 5 inches and I found the fine tip on one end got bigger after doing a few items and I used it anyway to finish the whole job with one marker and some to spare. The color on this marker is an exact velocity yellow match when I layed a scrap stained cloth on a fender. I am leaving the pen and wipe cloth in the cubby to touch up as needed. Bottom line: I REALLY like the way it turned out and it would have cost me $395 to have it done on a build and I got a great appearance mod for only $5 in marker cost and 90 minutes of my time. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...461ef5906b.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...1b7b090144.jpg before https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...56b5b40f84.jpg halfway https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...18e7d974b1.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...679ef4b0f7.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...726802f0b2.jpg |
