Post Markers for vinyl
After drooling over Gargamel DRM and seeing pics of KaToPe, can someone clue me in on what markers are best for vinyl? Thanks!

I don't actually have a clue, but I would look into Mr. Color Gundam paint markers if I was going to try to do this.

Thanks fellas!
Mr. Color are readily available here in Singapore. I thought I saw POSCA in one of the shops, will need to check it out again. Thanks again!

Dont use oil based markers, they tend to get sticky. Sharpie and a few others make a water based paint marker. Here they are http://www.sharpie.com/enUS/Product/Sha ... _Fine.html

Thanks, DrilOne.
I thought it was mentioned somewhere on the board about not using oil-based paint but wasn't sure. I'll need to avoid those then.
