Krylon Short Cuts 1/3 Fl Oz Black Gloss Paint Pen - 1 Each

People must think I'm crazy buying high end guns, and marking the sights. But none of the factory or after-market sights are perfectly designed in my opinion. I use this pen to mark the front sights around the tritium glow dot. Under daylight or dim light use, when the tritium is poorly visible - the white mark stands out with high contrast against my black rear combat sights. I further use it sparingly to mark a wispy thin horizontal cross mark on the top portion of the rear sight. Why? To look like a rock star -> using combat sights to make small group shots at 15 yards on paper. The horizontal mark acts like a cross hair when lined up properly with the front sight top edge. But when I go back to rapid combat shooting, my brain only picks up the front sight and ignores the small white marks again. I can go back and forth all day long this way. It works like a charm so I marked all my expensive handgun sights this way. No regrets...

I purchased these paint pens for use in a wall mural on a chalkboard-painted wall. I regularly use paint markers on a chalkboard surface. The best I have tried are Zig Posterman, Zig Woodcraft, or Uni Posca, which are all permanent water-based. I still can't tell if these Krylon Short Cuts are oil or water-based, but I do know that the paint comes out very evenly and smoothly, and they don't bleed / make a huge mess accidentally like the Zigs and Poscas are known to do. They were gunking up a bit while using them on the wall, probably mostly because I was painting over chalk lines. I expect my experience with them was a bit more disappointing than yours would be if you were using them on a clean, flat, horizontal surface.

TERRIBLE PRODUCT TOTAL RIP OFF MINE DID NOT WORK AT ALL EVEN THE SUGGESTED FIX FROM YOUTUBE DID NOT FIX IT -- THE WORST PART AMAZON WILL NOT ALLOW RETURNS ON THIS PRODUCT !!! WHY? THE OTHER PAINTS ON AMAZON ARE RETURNABLE BUT NOT THIS ONE -- AMAZON SHOULD HAVE A BRIGHT RED WARNING THIS IS NOT RETURNABLE

Replacement paint pen worked well. Read directions on priming the paint tip. The first one was dried out and the paint tip had broken off.

Shake this very well. I bought this to go over the worn out hot-stamped chrome of my dashboard. I have a 1979 Datsun 620 pickup, and the chrome trim (and lettering) on the instrument cluster bezel has worn off over the years. I gave the area a quick scrubbing with alcohol to degrease after cleaning, and got this handy little pen out. This doesn't really smell like paint. In fact it doesn't really have a smell at all, or at least I can't really smell it. It dries within seconds when it's warm out and in the sun. The pen tip is spring loaded so you push (kind of like liquid highlighters) to get the paint into the tip. Too much and it drips. Not enough and your coverage sucks. You'll find that sweet spot pretty quick, this pen is super easy to use. I re-did the chrome striping on my dash in 10 minutes, including the alcohol prep. Be very careful, and don't let the paint get too heavy or it'll dry weird. You're best to just go over it once and let it dry, then go over it again. This way the paint is more 'level' and it will take on a better 'chrome' look. This is a very fine silver paint, not chrome. Don't get confused, there is a massive difference. But unless you're looking at a brand new chrome piece next to this, 99% of people won't know if you do a really good job. Cleans up with rubbing alcohol, this stuff isn't meant to withstand the ages. I think if you purchased some matte clear (or gloss clear if you're ballsy), you could go over the entire dash piece - and this chrome pen - and it would last for years as long as the clear doesn't fail over the plastic. I was also successful in re-doing the Datsun badges for the glovebox on my 510, and even fixed a nick in the chrome on a window crank handle. For <$10 shipped, don't complain. It's two digits cheaper than sending your part off to get chromed.

If you are looking for real chrome this is not the product for you. If you are looking to clean up an old dashboard (for cheap) like I did on my 1971 Buick, which had all of the little raised chrome letters and borders worn off then this is EXACTLY what you want. This is a small "rattle can" paint pen with a nice chisel tip that allows for broad and or fine lines. It dries fast and looks good. It is SILVER colored, not chrome but for what it costs I would say you get a lot of bang for the buck. A BIG thumbs up for this one!

I bought these before and use them on my kitchen cabinets where the color has chipped or scratched. They work great! Sometimes they require a few coats, but they make the worn-off paint or scratches almost unnoticeable.

This is OK for what I needed to do but would be nicer if it gave a shinier finish. Had a couple of minor scrapes in the front bumper on a 2014 F-150 pickup that we just bought. This makes the scrapes less noticeable, but if it could give a shinier finish it would be nearly perfect.

Great for rusted screw. It is not for putting on Chrome. . . . . . . . . .

Great
