Nice inexpensive way to add a stripe! Thanks!
Interesting -- just looked up that tool. Very similar, although I wonder it if only fits Sharpies? Sharpies work great, but on some color combinations you really need to use a paint pen, rather than ink, for the stripe color to really look right...

If you just need a few feet of wire to match a harness, it can be cost-prohibitive to find exactly the right wire and tracer color. I wouldn't suggest doing an entire harness this way, but to make a patch here and there, this is kind of a cool/cheap/easy way to maintain the factory color scheme....
That ¯\_(ツ)_/¯’s baller! Well played!
