Acrylic Paint filled Pens

Posted in Custom Workstation

Greetings Fellow Realmers!

I was hoping to get some feed back from fellow customizers on using the Elmer's brand (and that's just the brand name manufacturer I came across at Michaels in the clothing/glass and crafting section. They are merely pens just like a regular ink pen, even with variable tip sizes of fine point, medium point and bold point, and are filled with basic acrylic paint!

There are some very fine areas on some figures (both on Marvel, DC and other PVC action figures and being a Disney-phile my vinylmations of Mickey and the new vinyl Stormtrooper helmets) that for me personally the use of a paint pen would be better to work with than trying a fine paint brush. I was hoping someone here might have implemented them in your finer detailed work and have experience working with them (Elmers or another brand manufacturer) and what pros and cons you have with them.

I appreciate the time, thought and response everyone here always takes to those of us who are new to customizing to make our lives easier!

Thank you greatly!
Chris

Any paint should work, just remember to let the ink/paint dry or cure completely before touching the area, then seal it. I've tried brush tip pens for fine details, and while it does make the job a lot easier, they take forever to dry and can still smudge even once it's dry, that's why I suggest sealer.

Anyway, give them a try and let us know how it goes, always good to hear about more tools out there.
