I remember seeing a pic of a bottle of scotch, a tumbler, and some sketches of mountain bike geometry... that was an art pic... tried to find it on the forums but I'll be damned if I can read the jumble of 6 letters/numbers in the search function. I think Ska Todd posted it?

what happens when you clear it? does the sharpie bleed?
Nope! I ended up concocting a vegetable and wax based sealer that's along the lines of modgepodge. Standard automotive clear with a couple of progressively sanded coats makes it smooth and sparkly. Theoretically it should hold up just as well as paint. Paint markers and standard clear work well too, but sharpies are more translucent, which is nice for the luster and shiny-ness.
