Default Want to make a mark on paint that is removable

I am wanting to add some custom pinstripe to my Vivid Black '14 Limited. I would like to make some marks on the paint that I can use as a guide for the new pinstripe. Obviously, I want the marking to come off. I was thinking of some type of wax pen, etc. Any suggestions or past experience with this type of thing?

china marker or otherwise known as grease pencil. You can get white one.... will wipe right off. I use one for a lot of things around the house......

You could always try plastidip. Tape off the area and then apply plastidip in between the tape area creating your stripes. Been used in the import car world for a long time now.
