Nice tip, but where do you get the syringe with such a fine tip?

you can get a syringe with a fine tip at an auto body supply store. they make them for touch up on cars. the one i am thinking of comes with a tiny brush on the end of it. as you push out the material, it coats the brush so you can add just a little at a time.

Post Grease pens or Pastels

I didnt see it anywhere on this thread but I used oil pastels similar to grease pencils on mine. They worked perfectly. I found they worked better than Crayons because they did not leave any residue. Crayons left a bit of a haze especially with white. The grease pencils are also less prone to melting if they heat up. You can get this stuff at any art or craft store. Sorry about the bad pics.

The last 3 digits of the serial number are intentionally smudged in MSpaint, not on the gun.
