Hi all, as the title suggests, I am going to ask what is likely a stupid question but I am having a total brain fart today and cannot think of the proper name for what I need.

Basically I need a pen / pencil, either yellow or white, that you use to mark the position of something i.e. position of a nut on a thread so you can line them back up again? I think it is called something like a grease pen / pencil or similar? Want to be sure I ask for the right thing, rather embarrass myself on the forum than in a parts shop!

paint pen? ... - .- -.

I use nail varnish, but it has to be the right shade!  “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?
