Who needs wheels when you can have PCBs? ;-)
BTW will alloy wheels look good painted? A few days ago on TV, i believe  
the show is called wheeler dealers or something, they had alloys restored.  
Said the guy sands and polishes them, and then laquers them with clear  
laquer. Looked like new! And they were a real mess before.

Not if it's a PP/PE pen.
The plotter pens that came with my HP looked like styrene (will probably  
dissolve), but the other metal-tipped pens i had were resistant.

Nice and unhealthy, too! Why not simply use acetone?
