Hey guys,

I've weathered up a N scale CSX 50' boxcar with rust and dirt, however - I was wanting to add some graffiti. I thought I heard somewhere that gel pens worked well for this.

Can anyone give me some input?

Thanks!
Kyle
 
Skip the gel pens. Elmers makes a paint pen. Check craft stores (Although wal*mart has them too, in "fine") for "Elmer's Painters".

I buy the "Ultra fine" ones, with a .74mm tip. Wal*mart's smallest is fine with a 1.1mm tip.
 
I agree about the Elmer's paint pens. Very opaque colors and the tips gives you good contol. The fine tip pens are great for things like road striping and and small detail touchup...and they're cheap.
