If its paint (allot of marks awere made with other products) I have always used enamel. Everything thing from Testor little modeling paint, to pint cans of Rustoleum. Some it hobby pint and other is spray cans. Always difficult to judge how much paint you will need to make a set of mark (to judge how much of each you will need to mix together to get the color you need) so there is always some waste. Sure I keep at least 100 little paint jars and bottles - but I do allot more than "normal" owners ;)

What are some examples of non-paint marks, and the products used to reproduce them?

For a 70 Dearborn car like you have some examples would be

Paint inspector marks on the fender and cowl cover - used ink I believe

Rotation numbers - Example hood, fender and front #1 cross member - Appears to be paint crayon

Exterior battery panel markings (may include spray can also) and sheet metal markings (before paint applied) - Paint crayon

Misc tightened, adjusted or filled indicators - Paint crayon

Wiper motors, alternator, steering column, rev limiter plus others I can' think of at the moment :( - Ink stamped
