This is one of those paint pens for metal that can also work on other surfaces like wood, ceramics, plastic and even textile materials like canvas. It comes out vividly on different surfaces. Even on glossy and non-porous surfaces like metal, the color is still vivid. The opacity of these markers is comparable to oil-based paints that are more expensive. I like how heavily pigmented the colors are. They come out vividly even when you don’t use too much of it. One swipe already has a bright and noticeable shade.

It can be for anyone who needs permanent markers. Students can use it. The nontoxic ones can be used by children as well for their art projects. Adults can use it for marking storage boxes or canisters. There are also paint markers that work as marking tools when doing woodworking or metalworking. Some even use it to retouch chipped paint. These pens have fine tips but they do offer a good coverage very similar to bullet tips. The nibs glide smoothly on paper and other glossy and non-porous surfaces. This is why if you are looking for an excellent paint pen for plastic, this should be a good candidate.

Paint match to vehicle is spot-on. Tip on paint pen is unusual and after a few uses is falling apart.” Give these pens a try if you are looking for more color options. One set will give you 18 markers with different colors. I love this paint pen because the colors are vibrant and accurate. Aside from the basic colors, you will also get pastel and metallic pens. These are waterproof paint markers as well. Once you let the ink dry, it stays in place. You can use it on cups, glasses and the ink doesn’t wash off. It is dishwasher-safe. It’s even oven-safe. The PaintScratch is an actual three-stage paint pen (others in this review are two- or one-stage pens) and matched our vehicle’s paint reasonably well despite not being on par with DupliColor. We also like that the PaintScratch came with a degreaser (cutting cream), which you need before applying any paint pen. Moreover, make sure it will also work on the materials you work with. For instance, if you want it to work on wood, look for a marker designed to work on wood. Some markers don’t adhere so well on non-porous surfaces like glass or ceramic.After following all instructions (including prep, paint, and varnish), the paint dried with a very dull, almost ‘weathered’ yellow color instead of white.” It is opaque as well. Once swipe of the marker should suffice. It also has plenty of ink inside. If you use it sparingly, this can last for years. It also has fine tips that make it easier to write on smaller spaces. If it hasn’t completely dried up yet, try wiping it with wet wipes. You can’t remove it any more if you used it on a porous surface. But for non-porous surfaces like glass or ceramic, you might be able to remove it using nail polish remover. Many reviewers say TouchUpDirect pens were an excellent match for their car paint, which is why we recommend this product despite the poor match for our vehicle. Other users had experiences like ours, where the match was not particularly close.

These markers also have a stronger staying power, which is why they are used for projects that require the ink to stay on the medium for a long time. Dual Tip Oil-Based Paint Markers】Each paint marker has two types of tips: a 0.7mm fine tip and a 3mm medium tip, giving you the flexibility to create precise lines and bold strokes with ease. The fine tip is suitable for outlining and fine line work, while the medium tip works well for large areas of coloring and detailing. You can use oil-based paints. They won’t bleed easily and will still create crisp lines without bleeding through the grain of the wood. When using water-based paints, choose those that will dry up easily. Despite the globbing, the color is a strong match, which makes sense given the brand comes through the automaker. The Ford Motorcraft pen did not match like the DupliColor but was the second-closest of the pens we tested. The paint takes about 30 minutes to dry, which is average. What Customers Are SayingAs with the Ford Motorcraft paint pen, PaintScratch paint pens don’t include any brush heads, potentially making it challenging to spread the paint evenly. While the procedure is straightforward, you may want a brush to apply the color over a scratch. It tends to pool ink at the tip when not in use. As a result, paint can get on your hands when opening the cap. It is a little difficult to clean up, which makes this a nightmare when used by kids. While the TouchUpDirect paint system was easy to use and apply, it did not match our car’s paint job very well. However, some customers say the TouchUpDirect did match their vehicles, so our issue may have been with our particular color. I can say that the ink quality is nice because it is vivid and opaque. It does have good staying power. However, I find that when used on glass, it doesn’t stay. It can still be washed off. On paper and other porous mediums though, this works nicely. Once you have these markers primed, they’re no longer difficult to use. There is no need to shake them to get the ink flowing repeatedly. There is a steady flow of ink with no big globs of ink coming out and making a mess. I also like that I can let kids use this because it is non-toxic.
