Overseas Black Paint Marker Pens, 6 Pack Oil Based Permanent Markers

I didn't expect this but it's true. Six Overseas paint pens for $12 sounds like they would be junk. I was desperate to find a reliable black paint pen for an automotive exterior project. Over the past few weeks, I bought 3 other brands. Each one of them annoyed me in some way...flooding paint, running out quickly, inability to smooth out nicely, etc. So these came in - and I was very surprised. I only bought them because the previous reviews were unusually good. The nice thing here is that the control is really good....even and consistent flow. It levels out well, semi-thick- not runny. The tip size works well for my projects - painting in grooves of a recessed stainless steel item. I let the parts dry and then washed them in hot soapy water, the paint held great! Nice shine. NOTE: WORK FAST. The paint starts to thicken and set within2-3 minutes, so if you have to come back to your starting point, the fresh paint from the pen won't blend with what you did a few minutes before. It will leave a bump spot rather than smooth in. My items were all painted on a level surface in 70 degree conditions - optimal setting. I have not tried them on vertical objects. At this price these paint pens are a bargain. I tried pens that were $17, $10 and $7 EACH - two of those from a local craft/art supply store. None of them did better than these "Overseas" pens. So be amazed like I was. I will be buying more of them in the future.

Very happy with this. Bought this to use on writing on glass bottles. It does a great job. The tip writes thick like a Sharpie. The gold looks fabulous

I work in the aviation industry, where permanent marks are a necessity! While this is true, having a marker that can be cleaned up with a solvent when needed is super nice! Sharpies do a nice job but are prone to fading over time. These Black Paint marker pens are super dark and leave sharp lines without the bleed like other markers, with the added benefit that they can be used on any surface, even with oily residue! Even after fully curing, a bit of rubbing with a textured rag such as terrycloth with Isopropyl Alcohol will remove the marking when corrections or updated numbers are needed, as when modifying a panel! When the marker begins to fade, press down on the tip for a count of three, and in five to ten seconds, the marks will be restored to their original dark sharpness! Perhaps the most surprising thing about these markers is the longevity you get out of one. Unlike Sharpies, which go South after a couple of hours of continuous use, these markers are still going strong after three weeks! Need a sharper tip? A sharp blade, such as an Exacto blade, will bring the tip back to 20-point text sharpness! I've thrown away all my other markers, and these are the only black and white markers I'll use from now on for permanently marking if required, such as marking new part numbers or marking instructions on the back side of a panel!

These are good paint pens and I have tried alot of diffrent ones to finally find this quality and function to match our expectations.

great value, works great

Great for labeling auto batteries, gas cans, oil filters, and auto body panels. Its easy to see on dark parts as an oil filter.. Its a reminder of the date, mileage, and oil type for when it's time to change my oil again.. stay on the item and doesn't run like paint..

I like these pens but theyre really hit and miss. Value for the money is trivial. It dries at a decent rate depending on how my you apply. It is bright enough when applied. The quality is okay.

I was stumped with my latest purchase. Easy Fix. Paint Pen (Oil Based) Dry, Won’t Flow. Shake the pen up and down vigorously a dozen times (click-clack). Paint Pens have a spring-loaded tip (like an automatic centerpunch). Click it up and down 6 times to get paint flowing. Repeat as necessary. Good Luck!

These are actually great, really nailing the tough job I had for them: re-silvering the leather in my rug which had worn away from silver to black. It’s great to be able to control the flow of paint by how long you press down. You can see before and after in the pic. I’m ordering more.

My husband is a professional plumber, and these paint markers have become an essential tool in his kit. We have purchased them twice already because they simply work better than standard markers for his job. ​✅ Why they are great for pros: ​High Visibility: The pink color is vibrant and stands out perfectly on metal pipes and dark surfaces. ​Durability: The oil-based paint is permanent and waterproof. It doesn't smudge even if the pipes are slightly damp or dusty. ​Quick Drying: This is crucial for him so he can keep working without making a mess. ​Versatility: Although he uses them for metal, they work great on wood and fabric too. ​💡 Pro Tip: Make sure to shake them well before the first use to get the paint flowing evenly. Once they start, the flow is consistent and the medium tip is perfect for precise marking. ​Verdict: If they can handle a plumber's daily workload, they can handle anything. Highly recommended for both DIY projects and professional trades!

From some of the reviews expected a bit of trouble. No hassles though so far. Have used on brass taps. Easy to control line thickness. - even when need to do again when signage needs darkening up a bit.

Love these markers. I've now bought three packs for various projects.

They do rub off plastic and glass, but they're ok.
