Hi Genaro,

machinests use a metal blue paint for marking steel.  Dykem is the 
brand name and it cost less than $10.00 per 0.118 liters.

I was going to offer that in ounces, but I'm not sure if you would 
prefer US ounce, or UK ounces.

I figured tablespoons might work well, but then it could be US 
tablespoons, UK tablespoons or metric tablespoons...

Maybe quarts ?  nope, UK or Anchent Hebrew quarts, German quarts and 
then US dry or US liquid quarts.....

Cups ?  nope,  Canadian cups, US cups and Metric cups....

oh, fudge.

they sell it in Gallon containers.  you gotta figue out if it UK 
liquid or US liquid or US dry.

tru www.use-enco.com   item 825-8320   Dykem   8 ounces, $5.53

here is the manufacturer's site
