SHARPIE Fine Point Paint Marker (White) Set of 3

This review is for:Fine Point Paint Marker [Set of 3] Color: WhiteIf you are an artist, a visual journalist, someone who likes to write on photos or sign artworks, then you probably need these. I bought them based on Jane Davenport's wonderful book "Beautiful Faces", because she revealed it as a secret trick to open the eyes of your subject, regardless of medium. I'd also add they are perfectly wonderful for adding small stars to any dark barkground as well.Unlike regular Sharpies, these are paint-based, which means you have to shake them a bit, and the pen does write in a liquid medium. It is beautifully opaque, and mostly easy to control - mostly. You do want to test it on a scratch pad first and get the feel of the pen - it's easy to accidentally drip a huge blob on your work, and this is not as easy to clean up. Thus the removal of one star, because while I shall never live without these, it did cause me to ruin a calendar due to the overenthusiastic speed with which it tends to flow.They don't have the typical sharpie smell, and there isn't any bleedthrough that I've detected (which is also different from sharpies). It dries to a glossy and not a matte finish. It is the definitive tool for highlights of the smallish kind, and it also works wonderfully with watercolor and pastel.PROSExcellent highlightingNo bleedthroughFine, sharp point give you intricate precisionShiny, beautiful opaque finishCONSThey will run all over your project if you aren't careful

I use these to draw thin white lines 4 in apart onto my picture window in the living room to prevent birds colliding with my window. The pen needs a little shaking and priming before it works, then it works well using a 2x4 plank as a ruler. The lines stay put through rain and weather but need to be redrawn after window washing. However, this has been an effective and cost effective way to protect birds from window collisions for me.

I've been meaning to clean my super old and super dirty ultraboost shoes for a while. I had rinse them and tossed them into a bag and into my washing machine (delicate cycle, cold water) and air dry and while the mesh part of it looked great, the bottom part was still forever stained.Everywhere I looked, people would say oil based white sharpie was the only thing that would make the white part looked good again so I finally caved and got them and yup, they sure worked! It took me a bit (like 2 hours) to color them in and as you're working on it, you can see what is clearly white paint going on but from a distance, like 4 feet tall with the shoes on the floor, they look great and super clean. I used one sharpie for 4 shoes and it seemed to still have paint left in it. When I thought it was running low, I'd just do the whole rigorously shake and tap the tip again and the paint flowed out again.10/10 would buy again. Great product for shoes.

Great for rock painting!!!

If you have not used these Fine Point Paint Markers [Set of 3] Color: White, here is an introduction to this handy pen. When they come they are usually tightly wrapped and sealed with a plastic cover. Cut around the removable lid and it comes right off with a pull. The contents needs to be shaken, like a paint spray can and when doing so you can hear the bead inside rattle. After a few shakes, don't despair if it doesn't mark. You need to push the tip until it unseats from its mounting seal. This will start a flow of ink onto (into) the tip and you may begin using the pen. It will mark on plastic, metal or most solid surfaces. Not really all that great for wood, but it will paint paper. They last through a pretty good amount of use and are permanent. Goo Gone will take them off. I ordered the White to mark voltage and amperages on my assortment of wall wart transformers I have accumulated, for easier identification. So far about 20 and they dried quickly. After that I had some sinkers, for fishing, of different weights, which are stamped into the bottom. I inked/painted these stamped numbers for easy reading in low light. Nice. In general, there are numerous uses for a white, black or colored use and I like them their versatility. I am glad I've discovered this paint marking pen, for too long I've just tried to use lesser tools for this.
