My new discovery.....

I did the "DIY: Better Looking OEM Rear Diffuser" (http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=132286) and accidentally painted my Sunlight Silver 8.

EUREKA! the paint is almost match.
I had some small but deep scratch on my rear bumper so I just touched it up.

Good thing is, if you over paint it, you can remove it easily by using your nail to scratch it out.

Here are the results.

From few steps away, almost like new.

Oh! and yes. It works on rock chip too.

Nice! I use the same markers to make my OEM Rear Diffuser to stand out.

I did the same.
Thanks for your DIY.

wow rock chips are that easily removed with markers???? do you rub it in with a finger or anything? where do you get those? any retail store? cool DIY TY

About time you sunlight silver guys caught a break. With that curse you guys have hanging over you, I hope these Sharpies make your day!

Got that scratch from the parking lot.
One of my first mini curse.
My ex-director hit my car.
She was a crappy driver but a nice boss, so I did not mind.
Beside, I was her 1st assistance....


Another curse struck me couple months ago.
Some idiot hit and run at the parking lot.
I used same market to fix it.



Will post pix after fix later.

I do the same thing for minor stuff on my brilliant black with a regular old sharpie. But I have touch up for the bigger stuff.

Sharpie save the day!

awsome job sharpie!! they should market those to car freaks... they would make some money!

Thank you for posting about the sharpies. I'm scratch-free, but will keep one in my glovebox.

I wonder how it matches with the paint on the wheels?
