Sharpie Fine Metallic Permanent Marker - Gold/Silver/Bronze (Pack of 3)

Product Information

This is also an acrylic marker like the Molotow One4All, but the one thing that makes it unique from the rest of the metallic markers is that they tend to be more dull metal than metallic in appearance. This is another oddball acrylic paint pen, and the only thing that makes it stand out from the rest is that it takes forever to prime between uses. Hard pass. Prismacolor Premier Also, it’s ultimately up to you to test the pens for yourself to see what would work best for you and your item, as not every surface, climate, condition, etc can be reasonably tested for. This was just because I wanted to try out a bunch of pens and find the best one out there, and figured the community would enjoy the information.

You may have heard of Staedtler before with their blue Lumocolor permanent markers, they're a German company, so this brand is more available and popular over in Europe. This marker is a lot like the Silver Sharpie, but the difference with this marker is the tip, which has a finer point, which is useful for when you want to get a signer to do a quote or are adding a lot of signatures on an item. In my tests, I'd say it is comparable when compared with the Silver Sharpie in both results and price point, but is more reliable. One thing of note, is that it will wipe off of highly smooth surfaces like plaques, statue bases, and glossy trading cards.. Sakura Permapaque Marker The final acrylic paint pen I reviewed, it only comes with a chisel tip that takes a while to prime, and the ink is semi-translucent, leaving you with less than desirable results. Hard Pass.Gold and Bronze notes: Like the silver, these two colors are also dull metal in appearance, which allows it to stand out. Krink K-42 Paint Pen

This is a brand that I have heard mention many times by European collectors, but have not seen them myself in any US-based stores, so I was fortunate to get some help with obtaining some of these pens. Without typing up too much of the same stuff, they are just like the Decocolor paint pens, but are more readily available in stores to the European consumer. Solid performer and no issues with the end result. Like the Decocolor series, they're available in different nib sizes and colors, but are only identified as such with different numbers, such as 780 for Extra Fine, 751 for Fine, and 750 for Broad Uni Posca I'm not going to waste time talking about this marker - avoid it at all costs, as it's by far the worst one I've tested of all of the markers. When used, it did not yield crisp signatures, rather it was more diffused and bubbly, and was more translucent and glittery than the other paint pens. Molotow One4All AcrylicThis pen performs as expected like any other paint pen, but what makes Posca Paint stand out from the rest of the paint pen market is the sheer amount of color options - 59 different ones to choose from, and up to eight different nib options depending on the color, so you can choose something that suits your specific needs. The one thing that is worth noting, is that it took a little longer (less than a minute total) than other paint pens to dry. So be mindful of that if you're using Posca Paint Pens. Sakura PenTouch Everyone knows about the Silver Sharpie, but what about Michaels' Recollections, or the silver Staedtler or Permapaque markers? I honestly did not realize that there was actually that many challengers out there to the ubiquitous Silver Sharpie, and the surprising thing about all three of those pens - they're either on par or better than the Sharpie. But in the end - all markers should be considered to be disposable. Sharpie Metallic Marker For example, there are 30 different colors in the Decocolor line, 22 in the Edding 751 line, and 59 in the Uni Posca line. Some words of advice when using paint pens is to carefully read the instructions for first prepping and using that particular pen, as some can be quirky, and the other is to prep and test the pen just before the item is going to be signed, as you want to ensure the best result possible. Silver is the most popular metallic option, so I went out and bought as many random and different silver paint pens that I could find, and here are my findings. Sharpie Metallic Paint Pen
