I'm getting a frame painted, and I've opted to do the lug lining myself, to save money and i think i'll enjoy doing it. Ive done some research and seen some people have gotten some pretty good results with decocolor pens and post pens, especially compared to the lug work on some factor finished frames.. when i paint my lugs i won't be applying clear coat on top, was wondering if anyone else had experience using these pens? Or any other pens? I hear that Posca is water based, will that wear off quickly, i know technically it should but even on their website they say its water resistant, and clear coat is only an added recommendation to prolong the paint, which it would be in any case.
Also, if your reading this thread to learn about budget lugwork, heres a pretty cool link..
