Rust-OleumWhite, 215153 American Accents Satin Decorative Paint Pen, 1/3-Ounce, 0.33 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) (Packaging May Vary)

Never have I ever received a product and reviewed it on the same day and never have I ever given a product one star and would have given it a 0 if it had been an option. I ordered this pen because it was Rustoleum and I have some old fashioned cabinet hinges that needed to be repainted. I tried finding some Rustoleum paint in a can in the stores but all I could find was spray paint. I got on Amazon and found these pens and thought they would be perfect for my job. I received the pen in the mail just a while ago. Opened it up and followed the directions for shaking and pressing the tip down. Never got it to work. Like so many others, the bone dry tip fell out with absolutely no paint on it, stuck the tip back in and tried again. Again no luck. Tried shaking and pressing several more times, just to make sure and nothing. The packaging wasn't the same as pictured and my suspicion is that these are old. As a matter of fact, the packaging says 2018.

I have some small wood picture frames that I wanted to paint black. I purchased this pen thinking it would be less of a mess and easier to use than some of the other paint options.I received my paint pen yesterday. I sat down with my first picture frame, with a newspaper underneath, and went to work.It’s difficult to get started. You mash the tip down and the paint soaks into the tip. I expect it to be slow on the initial use, but each time I put it down and picked it back up half an hour later, it was difficult to get started again. Frustrating, but not a dealbreaker.The instructions say it takes 15 - 30 minutes to dry. I let it dry overnight. This afternoon, when I went back to it to put a second coat (one was nowhere near sufficient, as the wood still showed through almost everywhere) the paint was tacky and a little came off onto my hands. I wondered if it would do the same to my wall.As the second coat was drying on one side, I noticed that there are still places that were going to require a third coat.An hour later, I picked up the frame to put a second coat on the other side. Once again, I mashed and held the pen down to get the paint flowing again. And mashed and held, and mashed and held. The last time I pulled the pen up to see if the paint was flowing yet, the entire inch long tip came out of the pen, bounced off the newspaper, off my shirt, off my shorts, and then apparently across both legs before skipping across my bed sheet and coming to a rest on the sheet. (I’m disabled and some days, the bed is the only place my hips will allow me to sit without high pain levels). It left a trail of paint everywhere. I included a photo showing the pen minus the tip, the biggest blob on the sheet, and the paint left on my hands. I’ve had the pen 24 hours.I purchased a name brand so this kind of thing wouldn’t happen. I’m frustrated, I have ruined clothes and sheets, I’m still trying to get the paint off my hands, and my frame still needs another coat.

So this is actually Testors paint pens. If I would have known this, I definitely wouldn't have bought it. I've tried Testors paint pens numerous times before and they aren't worth the money. I tested this one just in case on a metal light fixture. It does not cover the surface, even with multiple coats. This is exactly the same issue I've had with Testors before. They dont adhere well to metal. They also dry up or have issues with the tips falling out.Also, the color is not even close to what Amazon is showing. It is a solid sienna brown looking color, not dark at all. Tried to return, but Amazon will not let you return these! Lucked out and got a credit for it, but keep that in mind before you buy!

I got this to touch up a pool-table lamp that has the painted on "oiled-bronze" style finish. It worked great. I've also used it on some chairs with a similar finish. It worked great on them as well. Very handy for this type of need.

This is a pen type device with a pointed hard tip that may be good for painting small narrow lines or filling in scratches. .I tried using this to paint a 4 inch high furniture leg. The tip prevented anything more than a narrow line and when I painted several side by side it was very streaky and did not cover well even after depressing the tip numerous times.I tried painting this small 4x4 inch area and even after letting it dry and trying to re-coat it, I had to abandon using this product due to very poor results.

Used this to change the color of my hinges on my kitchen cabinets. Went from silver to black. Worked great.

Used it to cover some exposed metal on my gym equipment where powder coat had chipped off. The color isn't 1-for-1, but it's good enough.The only thing I don't like is how it can be hard to get enough paint to come out if you are trying to use it at a large angle. I ended up repeatedly mashing the tip on the surface to get paint to come out.

This product was exactly what I needed! About a year ago, when my cabinets were painted, the cabinet hinges (which were originally brass colored) were spray-painted a bronze color. Over time, patches of paint have rubbed off. I used this pen to patch up the damaged areas, and it looks great. It's been a couple of weeks since I did this and there is no sign of wear on the touched-up areas so far. I'm not sure why the Espresso color is more expensive, but it was worth the money for me.UPDATE: The paint does rub off over time, and it's somewhat hard to reapply. I think this would end up being better maybe for art projects on surfaces other than metal.

Ease of use, smooth even coverage.
