Go to Wal-Mart and go to the toy section in the area w/ the model cars they have the paint pens made by Testors....

BTW if you are concerned about the paint coming off I ran it through a touchless car (high pressure water jets) and it still did not come off...

Well I know around here I have found some APC mesh at Advance Auto for like $30.00 a sheet if you are only doing the lower half on sheet should do it but if you plan one both it might take 2. to do it and make it look good is the key though...
if you can not find it there then you can go to any web site that sells APC products and buy it on-line

You can also get some paint pens at places like Hobby Lobby. The ones I am familiar with look like Magic Markers. They have a lot of different colors available, so you should be able to match up just about anything. If you really want wild, I have used fluorescent paint markers in the past on my job. You should be able to get those at an industrial supply place, or maybe even Home Depot. However, I will not be held responsible for anyone else's poor taste!

Yeah sometimes they only have a 3 pack of the markers. I would suggest going to the local hobby store (Hobby Lobby etc...) or a craft store (Micheal's etc..) for a better selection. But yes they look like makers but have paint in them and most come in single packages....
