Paint your own Matchbox

A few years ago, there were Matchbox cars painted in white with an assortment of felt tip pens to "paint" your own livery.
I can't remember what they were called or which models were included. Does anyone know anything about them?

As far as I remember, something like „ Graffiti“. There was a MB 38 van included.

Thanks for reply. As soon as you said "Grafitti", it came to me .... "Graffix" and "Graffic Traffic".
Excellent response.

I think, this is also one of this kind.

The Graffic Traffic package, if I recall correctly, contained a plain white 1-75 model and a larger model, plus a pen or two. The Challenger posted by SuperFast certainly looks like a Graffic Traffic. That series came along around the time Matchbox transitioned from Universal to Tyco.

Hi George,
Are the headlights and bumper chrome plated on your MB 38?

Hello Rod, yes the whole front of the model is Chrome Plated, but looking at your one they do not seem to be strange?

My question is did Matchbox use removable ink?
