Does it come as an actual pen ? I know I can use the aerosol, but does it come as a pen ?

Regards,

Gareth

no gareth, but what i done was empty an old Laquer Pencil from an old steel grey touch up pen set, and sprayed the Pescara silver into the pencil and then used the pencil as a sort of touch up stick. Dont shake it though too much or it will explode in your hand lol.

It may match some better than others. My Father in Law had to have a couple of wheels changed as they were slightly marked from new. They took 2 wheels from another Ed30 which was awaiting collection later that month. The new wheels were a slightly different shade and all 4 had to be swapped!.

On a slightly different subject I know you ed30 guys keep a track of the edition number. I think his is number 483 and was registed in April 07 if I recall correctly.  :happy2:
