Redneck gear marking compound?

JnJ · Aug 14, 2004

Decided I was going to put my front axle back together tomorrow. So I go out tonight to pick up some gear marking compound. Guess what? The local parts stores dont carry it. Crap! So, what are some redneck solutions? I know someone out there has done it. I'm thinking something like touth paste. Any ideas?

Cool, but a little high tech for a real redneck!

Take a piece of chalk and grind off some powder with a piece of sand paper. Then mix it with some Vaseline. BAM! Blue collar gear butter.

I've seen white spray paint used, and it worked... :dunno:

go to an art supply store, like michaels or something

get either prussian blue or yellow ocre OIL paint in a small (2oz) tube.

not acrylic.

Imagine Larry the Cable Guy walking into Michael's and asking for a tube of Prussian Blue.

only he can get more of the SAME thing for cheaper.

all the shit is, is pigments suspended in titanium white and linseed oil.

what did you want me to say?

mix a dixie-cup's worth of lone star along with some pcs. of dead sunburnt skin, refried beans and tobacco spit?
