Sharpie paint markers?

[PGHtrooper21]

I picked up some Sharpie paint markers fine and medium tip to possibly paint the lines in the traps and tears.

Has anyone tried this? These are oil based paint. I painted the traps and tears using Humbroil grey. I know there was a thread that

somone used a regular Sharpie. Also I picked up an aqua color Sharpie. I want to see how close is the shade of blue for the tube stripes.

 

Here is a link to the site.

Lou,

 

I like using the "paint markers" It gives a "Hand painted" look.

The Sharpie paint pens suck. Streaky and they leave a strange appearance. I also found that the solvent they used liquifies the grey paint unerneath. I just switched back to using a brush and cutting the paint (paint the black perimeter first and only focus on the outside edge. After it dries cut in the grey and fill it in).

'Cutting-in' is a painters term, it's just a technique of painting up to or directly

on the edge of something that you are painting.

In this instance it means painting the borders of the traps and tear ducts with black

and then when dry applying the grey leaving a thin black edge / pin stripe all the way around

Simples!!

I thought about this idea as it would be easier. But on some plastics, it leaves a brownish, yellow stain.
