Default stuff engine builders use to mark nuts/bolts etc

where can i get it from online?

like a touch up paint pen but used for marking bolts/nuts etc to see if they have come loose or moved, i know i could use a normal paint pen but on some things the paint cracks and crumbles off.

i always go over the car once in a while and spanner check everything but this would save me doing it unessecerily(sp)

cheers

as i said above it doesnt seem as durable and cracks/crumbles off obviously marker pen wouldnt crumble but may wash off suspension nuts/bolts etc ,
maybe the proper stuff has a bit of elasticity in it to counter vibration etc
