Sharpie Permanent Paint Marker, Fine Point [Set of 3]

I like these, they are a bit expensive but they work and last very well over time. The liquid flows a bit too easily even if you have taken a lot of time shaking them. Try it on something else before you put it on a proper surface but it endures pretty well when dry.

Great paint pens!

This products is a scam. It doesn't work and you can't return in. Do basically your giving them money. A real scan. Do NOT purchase

They look fine. Haven’t used yet.

This review is for: Fine Point Paint Marker [Set of 3] Color: White If you are an artist, a visual journalist, someone who likes to write on photos or sign artworks, then you probably need these. I bought them based on Jane Davenport's wonderful book "Beautiful Faces", because she revealed it as a secret trick to open the eyes of your subject, regardless of medium. I'd also add they are perfectly wonderful for adding small stars to any dark barkground as well. Unlike regular Sharpies, these are paint-based, which means you have to shake them a bit, and the pen does write in a liquid medium. It is beautifully opaque, and mostly easy to control - mostly. You do want to test it on a scratch pad first and get the feel of the pen - it's easy to accidentally drip a huge blob on your work, and this is not as easy to clean up. Thus the removal of one star, because while I shall never live without these, it did cause me to ruin a calendar due to the overenthusiastic speed with which it tends to flow. They don't have the typical sharpie smell, and there isn't any bleedthrough that I've detected (which is also different from sharpies). It dries to a glossy and not a matte finish. It is the definitive tool for highlights of the smallish kind, and it also works wonderfully with watercolor and pastel. PROS Excellent highlighting No bleedthrough Fine, sharp point give you intricate precision Shiny, beautiful opaque finish CONS They will run all over your project if you aren't careful

Okay, so I've never used an oil based pen before. Be sure to read and follow the instructions so it will work. Shaking the capped pen a lot, then removing the cap and using something between your finger and the tip as you press down to let out the compressed air, and then use is a must. Otherwise you might be like me and want to simply throw it away as a lost cause. But once I figured it out, I've been using it on all kinds of plant labels (but really like it best on the metal labels and because it's a fine point so can fit more on the labels) in my home gardens and that of two professional gardens that I tend. Thus far they have been easy to use on the labels, easy to read, haven't faded and decent value. It's with all of this in mind that I can recommend this item.

I had bought previous sharpie oil-based markers to fix some dents on a steel traveling mug. And when my daughter's steel water bottle started to fade away. I ordered this pack due to the previously purchased package did not come with white. And it works great!!! I managed to color in hello kitty again. ***** TIP, when doing a project like this, you would want to press on the tip onto the surface for a short sequence. Because if you press down for more ink to come out, you will get a big glob, and it dries a little bit quicker. Resulting in bumpiness. If this happens, it’s better just to let it dry and do it again with a little bit of a big glob and spread it around with the tip of the marker.

First, a quick tip that I've found with these: leaving them stored in a pen cup CAP DOWN seems to keep them 'primed' and ready to write...most of the time...which leads me to my review... These markers are great and just what I need to write on dark surfaces. But many times when I go to use them, they will not write. I will shake the crap out of them for a couple minutes and press the tip repeatedly and leave it depressed for several seconds. Sometimes it will get going again, sometimes just for a few lines before it stops again. Sometimes it will just work. Sometimes I can not get it started after minutes of trying. The inconsistency and frustration has led me to look for more reliable alternatives. Going to try the Sharpie fine point silver. It's a classic marker that doesn't need shaking.
