"technically not paint; it's a washable material that lasts about 10 days after application."

That doesn't seem so useful.

Surely it will be the delight a prankster as used on a car.

So the next question is whether it will be effective if you paint over it with clear lacquer or the like.

That's funny.

That would be a good note to drop in the now defunct(?) Top Gear suggestion box.

"the now defunct(?) Top Gear"

I guess they will buying Hammond and May out of their contracts....

There is no way that show can survive without the big Pillock!

Don't have to buy out Hammond and May, all three contracts were up at the same time, at the end of March. They've both said the won't do the show without Clarkson. Lots of rumors about them doing a show together for Netflix.

But the show isn't dead either, yet. The BBC says it will keep making the show but it won't/can't be the same. The formula isn't enough without the cast, Tog Gear USA and Top Gear Australia have proven that (the latter cancelled after 3 seasons or so, the former struggling to survive)

Cycling connection: I got a kick out of watching Hammond crash an electric shift Pinarello in one of the last shows they did. Nice bike. He legitimately bailed hard.
