Testors Enamel Paint Marker-Gloss Black

I got this to do some touch up on backlit switches in my car. The original paint had chipped off in spots and light was shining through. I found the pen paint a little thin. I had to do 3 coats to get the result I needed, but application of the paint was precise and dried quickly. I suppose that the paint has to be thinner in order to flow through the tip so I should have expected what I got. Overall the pen did a great job and is a good concept. I'm glad I got it. Worked out better than a brush.

I was worried at first that there was no paint in container. After shaking for about a minute the tip went from white to black. I painted over a scrape in a black golf cart rim. It’s no longer noticeable. I drew it as if I were using a marker. I would purchase it again.

This is a great way to apply gloss enamel paint in a precise manner. My problem: Vinyl letters on wood peeling off. Solution, peeled off the lettering, traced and filled in the spot where the letter was with this paint and now I have a permanent fix! Very easy to apply the paint to the outline of the letters, then fill it in and I have the same look. Using this for an outdoor application, but I love the result. Definitely recommend if you need to put paint in a very specific spot!

These pens work as designed. The paint is good. The keys to getting top results include: Prep your surface!!! Clean, free of dirt, grease, wax, etc. Your surface should be dry. Shake the pen. Walk around for a few minutes shaking it while you do other tasks. You need to hear the agitator going freely. Once you hear it going freely, continue shaking for a couple of minutes. Shake the pen periodically while working. Keep the consistency of the paint. You do need to pump the tip a couple to a half dozen times to get good flow. Be gentle with the tip. It's just felt!! Pump it gently. Once the paint flow begins, STOP PUMPING. If the paint flow slows or stops, cap the pen. Shake it a few times. Uncap and pump the tip once or twice. If you keep pumping the tip while you work you will end up with a flood of paint. Take your time!!! If you see something isn't going well, STOP. Assess what you are doing and what's going wrong.

They always work good. I use them on vehicles every day. They never dry up and stay good for years
