Pen Lifespan is Short
I use these pens to label plant stakes for use outside in Pacific Northwest weather. I don't use any additional protective coating. Most of the signs that are multiple years old still look great. Some labels have faded somewhat, but those signs are the exception and not the rule. I might just retrace those letters eventually.In my picture, the paint is still in the process of drying. The paint doesn't look significantly different once it's dry.The biggest drawback to these paint pens is how short-lived the pens themselves are. My plan was to use one pen at a time and work my way through the whole pack eventually. After 2 years or so, the ink flow was horrendous and I started to hate these pens. Even technically brand-new pens that I had never opened had aged poorly. In some cases, the ink consistency was off. I'm really glad I gave these pens another try and ordered a second pack. Now that I'm working with newer pens again, they are wonderful. I just don't expect to use all the pens anymore. Eventually the pens will start to suck again and it'll be time for a new pack.

I absolutely love these! I use them on my rock paintings. They are wonderful. Color doesn’t bleed though the white, which is amazing. Easy to use, great product!

I’ve used a few different brands of paint pens, and these are my favorite!
They’re permanent and do have a relatively strong odor. This pack is the “Fine tip,” I posted a photo that includes the gold (not included) “Ultra Fine tip,” but they look similar in thickness.
I’ve never had an issue with these drying out. I would suggest shaking them and using them monthly or so, to keep the paint and tips fresh. Make sure the caps are tightly closed between uses.
I love using these to add detailed accents to my acrylic paintings.
