    Can anyone recommend a paint pen brand for marking steel and general shop use? All I can seem to find are the art pens. I need to paint dirty greasy surfaces and want it to stay as long as possible.

    Good Anodizer? (an oxymoron maybe?)

    Is there anyone who can do consistently good work? It seems we fight problems way too often. If they're located in the southeastern US that's even better.
