Pilot Metallic Permanent Paint Markers, 1 Each Gold & Silver, Extra Fine Point, Set of 2 (41400)

Compared to the gold ink from UNI Posca markers, the gold ink from Pilot pens is a shade darker and more mature. Pilot's gold are also not overly glittery and more subdued. This is not to say that it the ink is dull, because it is still metallic and reflective; I prefer this shade of gold vs the brighter and glittery kind. The silver marker is good too and has nothing bad to write about.

These are true chrome pens. If having the reflective chrome that looks like liquid gold and silver matters to you vs gold & silver colored pen, these are the pens for you.I've used them for a variety of purposes. I will share 1 way I used them (totally off purpose but might be useful), where o don't recommend them. I have used these to draw designs over my nail polish (before I got chrome powders for nail art), and the chrome does wear off when using it like that, and if you clear coat over it with clear polish, it didn't look like chrome any more. I don't know if there is a similar thing that happens when clear coating with other products, but I can't say for sure.Anyway, I love these pens! I have used them for writing English translations on my German kipper cards and they just look great and don't create any stickiness or smudges when allowed to fully dry (which doesn't take a super long time).

I wouldn't waste your money on anything else. The absolute best (and I've tried everything)!They last FOREVER, and I use them DAILY in my small business.

These are very nice - very paint-like. They take a while to dry, but that's expected of this type of medium. Be careful not to shake (as needs to be done to get flow going), over work-piece as they can leak a tiny drop of two. I ordered a second set just as a "backup."

These sapphire nail files are very good for keeping nails dressed. Much better that steel files, as the leave a very smooth edge, and allows touch up with light pressure. .

OK so first off I’m revisiting this purchase, and I see I made it 4 years ago. So secondly this formula has a place in my heart since I first saw it in the 90s and it’s really the same then as now, really bold and vivid. But it can also be really runny and after buying them over the years it’s kind of a hit or miss whether you’ll get a good one. I would say about every 1 in 5 can be funky so that’s why I’m taking off a star. Honestly once you put too much pressure on it, it’s game over, who knows what it’ll do next. So give it a good shake, test it on another surface by gently pushing the nib to get it to flow, and write at a bit of an angle. So I’m here buying the gold again because, yeah, she died quickly, it just did not go well. The silver baby is going strong, and I’m too lazy to store her on her side as instructed, so this girl is tough like ox. In comparison to the Uniball Signo, no comparison, the Pilot paint marker wins hands down. 2nd photo shows the Pilot marker on 4 mediums the second they were dry, mildliner in violet, Derwent inktense watercolor pencil deep rose (no water), Derwent inktense watercolor pencil in deep rose (with water wash), and apple barrel matte acrylic in purple iris.

I bought this set of pens so I could write a message on the inside of a baby mobile. I was sure that the ink would sink into the grain and be hard to read but it worked perfectly! As easy as writing on paper! The gold color is so beautiful. I would write on a scrap paper before writing on your actual project every time as the flow can be wonky when you first start writing

Inc not coming out from the tip and is leaking. I really needed the pen today, did not expect this kind of quality
