What do you use to paint gratz messages on your grad's car?

<p>D graduates (AT LAST!!!) next week, and I’d like to decorate her car appropriately, without trashing it.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I went to the nearest Party City and got some car markers there. Not exactly this brand (because it was 3 years ago), but similar stuff:</p>

<p>[Car</a> markers @ Party City](<a href=“http://www.partycity.com/search.do?query=car+markers]Car”>http://www.partycity.com/search.do?query=car+markers)</p>

<p>You might want to try them on a small area of your car window first to see how easy it would be to wash it off.</p>

<p>Congrats to your grad!</p>

<p>Car chalk. Comes in various colors. Look in places like Walmart.</p>

<p>That would require them to have a car; underprivileged as they are, they have to share with me / H :-)</p>

<p>^^pizzagirl: I just had this vision of you driving to work/etc in a car painted all up with gratz messages…</p>

<p>^^^I await the day I see a white-haired lady driving a car boasting “Sexy Senior!”</p>

<p>We used these:</p>

<p>[Crayola</a> CRY588165 Washable Window Markers](<a href=“Google Shopping - Product not found”>Google Shopping - Product not found)</p>

<p>Cheap and easy to find - got ours at Walmart I believe…stayed on well even after a few rains (she loved it and didn’t want to take it off) but did come off easily with some Windex when her dad needed to drive her car one day. :)</p>

<p>Adding to say that my D’s younger siblings and my H are the ones who decorated the car and it was hilarious. One window had their drawing of her school mascot. One window, said “Polar Bear Till I Die!!!” (her mascot). One window said in big letters, “I’m BROKE”!$!
They went all out. :)</p>

<p>Thanks so much! I really appreciate this!</p>

<p>Now to think of something outrageous to do to the car.</p>

<p>Be careful on the car markers. D’ds prom date bought car markers from Wal mart to write on her car " to ask her to prom". The markers exploded all over her car and the kid. She got a frantic phone call at 10PM on a Sunday night- " eh can you come outside and bring some damp paper towels" . We spent the next 30 mins washing her car to get the stuff off, we were covered in it and the drive way still has red and blue paint marks. Wish I had grabbed a camera- we saw the funny side of the situation, but the boy was mortified.</p>
