    Capo's Autograph wearing off

    My Minimag was autographed by Clare last month and when I took it out to play on Easter, half of her last name wore off already. It says Clare Bena. I used a paint marker does anyone know of a better writing utensil? I knew I should have had it laser engraved on when I was at HB. I'm kinda sad because it looked perfect on there. Maybe next time I can get it resigned? (pretty please) I hope this thread is in the right section. It's somewhat paintball related I guess.

    ummm, a clear coat of something over it might help...or use some no smear/sealer art realted spray they use in ink/pastel etc that might work

      Why would you even care? Its a signature. To tell you the truth are you mad for making her sign your body.

        Have her tattoo it on your forehead, it will last a long time.

        Otherwise, you could probably forge the rest of it and then seal it. Hehe.

              well for starters quit humping it and the signature wont wear off so fast :P

              anyhow seriously...

              remember this is a stainless steel body... hell its like 1 step removed from teflon on the scale of pain in the arseness to keep a signature on it.

              I would try a polyurathane spray but I think that wont even stick for long.

              next time get that sucker acid etched on

                  The use a form of polyurenthane to make "clear bras" for cars. I have one on mine. Go to a shop that does it and ask for a scrap. You stick it on over the signature, and leave it on. Its incredibly durable material, and clear, so all you see is the outline of the edge. And when you want to take it off, just heat it up with a blow drier and peel it off. No residue. And it does not block uv rays, so the spot under the stuff wont be a different shade. Just make sure you wipe paint off it as quickly as possible.

                    Clear nail polish/paint might work. It keeps signatures on a plate that my fiance's grandpa has for "special occasions". Good luck... even though IMO since half is gone it isn't worth keeping around. After all it is now someone elses name.

                        It's JUST Clare! Not like the gun was signed by someone special...

                          LOL,
                          good one. Clare will like the point you have made. In your words she's not "special". We could say she's half special because half of her name still exists on the Mag. I'm gonna try and salvage her first name with clear nail polish. Maybe it's just me, the lone fan. Where's Traxer when you need backup?

                            See...some of us Know Clare as the little girl trying to hacky sack in the hall way of the sheraton a few years ago...

                            She might be good at paintball, but she can't hacky

                              Paintball is all that matters though.
