well i was able to buy both blue and red 'painters' markers and have to report this: the color is very opaque and it doesn't rub off on your fingers and get...

I'd suggest that you consider contacting Lynne Lewandowski (or one of the other makers) and finding out how expensive it would be to commission a new one. It...
