Your videos are so simple and right to the point. No useless chatter and very informative. Thank you
Thanks for the feedback!! 🤙🏼
Thank You, Welzie!
I referenced this video (and many others) to get a start with
painting 3D printed plastics, and this is a perfect foundation.
Awesome!!
NOTE:
I "Flip" RVs... Travel Trailers etc... for the last 30 years...
I have found out... I can dye or paint my FABRIC... Curtains etc to match my decor with...
the WalMart EXTERIOR Acrylic HOUSE Paint... and it does NOT wash out...
I use a big plastic tube... 80% Water to 20% to the house paint (I mix the paint in the water really well before adding the FABRIC... it come out Beautiful... I let it DRY in the SUN... Rinse it real well outside .. then wash it (without soap) in the washer with lots of fabric softener... It comes out very soft... and it works every time...
Thank you so much for this GREAT video..
Awesome great tip! Thanks!
Thanks bro just bought an oil based pen do I could decorate my controller and wanted to know more good to see a info vid so straight forward
Awesome! Yeah the oil base will work perfect on the plastic controller. No need to clear coat either. Have fun!
Hi! Love the detailed description on the video. I was wondering if you could suggest what kind of pens would work better on soy wax surfaces? Im interested in adding some minute artwork so that'd be great help. Thanks in advance!
I don’t know what will work on soy wax paper but if I had to guess it would be an oil based pen or even an alcohol based pen. You’re have to do some experimenting. Aloha 🤙🏼
Love the info here. I've got a question, what type of paint pen would work best on a foil cover comic?
Oooooh hard to say. I would geuss oil but I don’t know. I’ve never tried it. You’ll have to do some experimenting to see what works. Have fun and stay inspired 🤙🏼
Love your content! Very informative, clear voice, no loud music blasting in the background.
Btw, which one works well on rubber products? Like rubber shoes.
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback. Oil based pens will work the best on rubber. Stay inspired 🤙🏼
@@WelzieArt Tysm! Keep it up, the good work🌹
Thanks!!
very informative video. question for ya. i’m getting a Gremlins Supreme skateboard signed by an actor this weekend. it will be on the bottom side by the artwork. it has a clear finish on that side. would an oil based sharpie paint pent metallic silver work good? thanks!
Yes. That is exactly what I would recommend. Oil based sharpie. Make sure to open pen and get ink flowing before they sign it. It takes a few minutes for the pen to get started and I’m sure the actor won’t want to wait around till the ink makes it’s way to the tip.🤙🏼
What works best for cultured marble? Should I also use (water or oil base) clear coat to seal it?
I’ve never tried cultured marble and paint pens but I don’t think acrylic will stand a chance. Oil might work. Try a small sample first. Let the paint dry plenty before testing it’s adhesive quality. I would try oil based clear coat first. Acrylic over oil doesn’t work. Let me know how it goes! Good luck!! 🤙🏼
Thank you for the video. Starting to make earrings and jewelry out of acrylic, plastics, and wood. Mostly with a laser engraver doing the engraving and cuts. It was recommended to me by Michael's employee to use oil based coloring pen to color a couple things on red acrylic. But was looking for more authoritative guidance as I start down this road. I did use the oil based paint pen and it worked (where I couldn't get the acrylic pen to actually laydown well at all). The one thing I noticed was that the oil based pen coloring seemed to stay wet forever, I am sure I put too much on but do you have a technique trick for drying?
Oil based is the call for plastics. If you need it to dry quicker use a hair dryer or heat gun. Oil based pens are generally glossy. That’s why it looks wet. Good luck and stay inspired 🤙🏼
Sorry if this question has been asked, but I wanted to customize some none leather convers type shoes which markers do you recommend?
I think either pen will work. I’ve never done it before so make sure to do some experimenting on the inside of the tongue before you commit to the whole shoe
Which neon pink paint pen work on aluminium? I want to fill some recessed logos on some aluminium parts. I fear I will need to put a white primer down first so the colour is not washed out
Oil based will perk the best and I think sharpie are the best. Neon colors never turn out very neon but worth a try. Good luck 🤙🏼
Thanks for sharing this great info! Have you had experience using oil based pens on clear vinyl? Do you know if it will easily scratch off? If so, is there a coating I could use?
Clear Vijay you should use oil based pens. No need for clear coat. Good luck!
@Welzie Art
Question - what works best for EPP foam material, on RC plane/aircraft ? Can i use oil based pen ? Will in interact/dissolve the foam ? Will it stick well to foam surfaces? Many thanks
You’ll have to experiment on some scrap foam first. I think acrylic will be fine but the oil may dissolve the foam. Good luck
Thank you for the video!! I have this hardcase plastic suitcase I want to use graffiti markers on...but how can I protect my drawings on a hard plastic surface?
I had this idea for a long time and have tried it today on a random suitcase it looks fun and it makes me energised for more!!! Would love the art to last on it!...
Hard plastic will be best with oil based pens along with clear spray enamel. I wouldn’t go the acrylic route on anything plastic. Acrylic will work but not last as long. Stay inspired! Aloha 🤙🏼
What about coloring them playing marbles? Any suggestions that would stay on?
Oil based pens will be best
Hi, I have a question, if I want to paint some places with scratches on aluminum, it is better to use an oil pen? I've already tried use acrylic pen, but the paint doesn't stick very well.
Is there any dt can be refillable for oil paint marker,i use mostly oil marker,its costly, i wanted to refillable
Not that I know of. Montana paint pens used to have refillable but I’m not sure if they had it with oil pens.
Please can you recommend the best oil based pens to buy and use? And also, can varnish keep acrylic on a phone case from rubbing off?
Thanks for the explanation! Are both pens suitable for works on primed canvas?
Yes
Any suggestions on whether to use oil based, water based, or acrylic based paint pens if I’m going to use them on leather and then apply leather stain over the top of the paint-drawn area? Thank you in advance.
I haven’t experimented on leather yet but I think oil based will stay the best
What do you think I should use for a wooden outdoor sign? Can you also recommend how I should seal it?
Enamel paint will hold up longer than water based but house paint is water based and hold up great. Higher quality paint will last longer. House paint won’t need any sealer but you can add a clear acrylic sealer on it if you like. I always recommend doing some experimenting first. Every paint seems to react differently with sealer or paint pens.
Hello I wanted to ask a question if I buy jewelry and I wanted to keep it from chipping or tarnishing...Is alclad clear gloss good to apply over it to keep it from tarnishing and water proof...Or what does you recommend
I’m not sure what would work with jewelry. Different metals have different problems. Best of luck
What do you use to thin an oil based metallic opaque paint pen? Using DecoColor
I haven’t tried thinning an oil based pen. I’m usually trying to get them more opaque. Let me know if you have any luck! 🤙🏼
Hi! The oil based Can be use on mirror , but can I erase/clean my mirror drawings with alcohol or with something ?
If you want to draw on a mirror but be able to erase I would recommend using an acrylic paint marker. You can erase really easy with a flat razor blade. The paint will come right off. No scratches to the mirror if the blade is sharp, clean and flat against the surface. Oil paint markers will be a lot harder to get off if you can get it all off at all.
Good luck. Stay inspired 🤙🏼
Hello how long does it takes to dry on metal the oil base pen...Its for painting over earrings
Depending on weather, but here on Maui an oil based pen can take 1-3 min to dry depending on how much paint was applied.
Any suggestions on what marker to use if putting it on a Guitar body like if someone were to sign a guitar? A lot of people have been telling me I have to put a clearcoat after the signature even if it’s oil or acrylic marker but I’m afraid it’ll bleed and I heard oil markers like deco color is better because it’ll last longer and it won’t fade. What do you think I should do?
Oil should stay on the best bit you can clear coat it with an enamel. Nothing will last forever and everything fades eventually so don’t stress too much on that. If you are. Lock the guitar away in the dark and don’t touch it. But that’s no fun. Just enjoy it
i just got my guitar signed with a silver sharper a couple months it’s a black fender electric strat with a glossy type of coat. sadly it faded away so i wanna be planned for the time what do you recommend using for it. Also how should i make sure it stays? i was thinking clear coat but idk if it would smudge either
Make sure to use an oil based pen. If you want to clear coat it I have a video on clear coating your art as well. Good luck!
What would you suggest as the best marker pen for using on black spray painted metal surface ? I need to make straight lines on my truck about 1/16" thick. Thanks
Oil based for sure. Acrylic won’t work. Have fun!
I have a cotton hat I waht to draw on. What type of marker should I use?
Oil or acrylic will work but oil will be way more permanent. Sharpie makes the best oil marker in my opinion. Good luck. Stay inspired, aloha 🤙🏼
Great video! I'd love to know what you recommend to use to seal my art project and protect it from the elements. It's a wood based project with oil paints on it, but so far I haven't found good sealants that don't also melt the paint. Debating if epoxy is the best route to go or not.
Check out my video on clear coating. Clear oil based spray will work
Ok, so which is better for color under finishing resin? Posca black is ok but the Posca colors ran. Would the oil pens bleed colors under gloss coat?
What type of resin are you using? I don’t have a problem with poly resin over posca. I do notice sometimes a couple colors bleed but never with black.
Oil pens will not work under poly so don’t try that. I’m not sure how they would work under epoxy. Hope this helps. If you have any more questions feel free to ask.
Aloha 🤙🏼
I have a question ,hopefully someone can answer me.I do have lots of glossy black folder with golden shiny writting on it . But I discover a mistake in the writting. Now I am trying to fix it manually by adding the missing letter , I tried to use a golden sharpie but it appeared completely different.Can any one give me an advice for any type of permanent marker that can be used on shiny smooth folders ?
Hi! I think the best for shiny black smooth folders would be your sharpie oil based pens. If you stick to one brand of pens then the colors will always match up. Hope this helps! Have fun and stay inspired
Thank you. I’m so bummed as I really love the Posca pens colors. I think I’m going to have a hard time using them on the surfboard I just used epoxy on😞. I’m going to test it out & see if it works. I hope so
Sharpie makes great oil based pens with good color selection
Good question can you use artric paint pens work on skateboard decks vs oil paint pens?
Acrylic will work on skateboards. The level of quality will be base on how well the acrylic sticks. Is the skateboard sanded? Does it have a varnish over the wood. Does it have a decal? If what your drawing on is oil based then you should use oil based marker. varnish or oil based ink on the design will not allow acrylic to adhere very well. Try out a little on a piece of the board and see if works.
Hope this helps
Nice info. I have a question. What should i use if i want to use it on metal body like hotwheels?
Oil works best on metal. Acrylic can work but rubs off easier. 🤙🏼
Which can I use on a silicon coaster mold? Will it come off when I remove the coaster from the mold?
Sorry for the slow response, I had to check my molds and the oil based pen is the one that sticks. Just don’t write in the mold and you won’t have to worry about it coming off
The oil based pen will peel off with whatever you put in the mold.
Great video! I want to freshen the color of a small outdoor sign that is made out of plastic - so it's gonna be exposed to the weather - which is why I plan to use an oil-based paint pen. Question: Can I clear coat the sign after the paint dries - and what would be best to do it with? Thanks much!
Yes oils are the right call. And yes you can use a clear enamel spray from rustoleum which will work great. Have fun!
So, the clear coat like Rustoleum 2X?
Two light coats work better than 1 thick one.
Hi, could you please suggest what kind of paint marker is best for detailing purpose over a diecast car without stripping the stock paint of the car.
A fine tip oil based sharpie should work great
Is there anything I can use to help seal oil based paint? I used a paint pen to change the color on some Oakley sunglasses. They came out great, but after letting them dry for two weeks and trying to wear them, the paint on the inside of the arms started to come off from the sweat on my face.
Use clear enamel over oil based pens. Unfortunately paint pens don’t handle high friction but a clear coat will help
Hello so for autographs would you recommend the Posca marker or the sharpie oil based. Sometimes the wording on the oil based sharpies will fade a bit
It depends on what your signing. If you’re signing aluminum prints you need the oil based. If canvas or paper you can use oil or acrylic pens. I haven’t noticed the oil based sharpie fading yet. To me they seem like they last longer.
Have fun and stay inspired 🤙🏼
Same question. Which would work best for autographing 8x10 photos?@@WelzieArt
@@Lady_Strange oil based will work on glossy photos
Thank you for your quick response, and for this tutorial! I will look into buying some oil based markers for photos, instead of acrylic.
I have used Zig Painty FX markers in the past on photos, and they worked pretty well. Can anyone tell me if they are acrylic or oil? I have one here, and it just says "Xylene Freee" and "Alcohol-based pigment ink". (I am still going to apply the lesson I learned from your other video, and store this pen horizontally from now on!) I will also stop holding the nib in for long periods of time to get the ink out, and use the pumping method instead.
Hi, can I use oil based marker on the body of an electric guitar? The finish on the guitar is nitro-cellulose lacquer.
Yes oil based pens will work best on lacquer
What marker/paint pen is best for writing (autograph) on a crushed velvet type fabric?
Oil based and acrylic do work. Sharpie pens work too. Even fabric pens. If I were getting something fabric autographed I would use an oil based pen.
Thanks for making this informative video, i need your help with this thing that i used acrylic paint marker (Artistro) on a ceramic mug and even after baking it is getting scratched, can you please help? Which white paint pens could work best on ceramic ??
Oil based paint pens work best on everything. But if you’re going to be using something a lot it’s bound to get scratches
@@WelzieArt could you please suggest a good set of oil based paint pens for ceramic mugs ?
@dr.hardhyanshaarora6404 I like the colors sharpie oil based pens have.
Thank you for the content, education, and sharing. May you have one or two recommendations for Oil-Based Marker brands? thx.
Thanks! I haven’t tried every oil based pen out there on the market, there is a lot. But hands down the best one I’ve used is the sharpie oil based paint pen. The colors are great and the pigment is quite opaque. Hope this helps! Aloha
@@WelzieArt thx
Can you use posca acrylic on car Tyres and it be permanent?
I would use oil based for car tires. 🤙🏼
I want to paint a design onto a latex painted jewelry armoire. I was planning on using oil markers I have a spray clear coat Should I seal the art or just leave it without. It will be on front of drawers and possibly on top where people may put things on top.. or inside where jewelry may rub thanks
If it’s going to get a lot of wear and tear than I highly recommend using a clearcoat. Acrylic paint pens will be fine with the clearcoat but I think oils will be best for what you’re using putting a clearcoat over oils will really make them durable to wear and tear. Hope this helps. Have fun. Stay inspired. Aloha.
So I'm here cause not very savvy with a paint brush and wanted to use a paint pen to customize a metal model car,oil based is the way to go correct?? And do I only need to go over it once
Correct. I think they have oil based paint pens specifically for model cars but I may be mistaken.
Question......Dose the Oil based sharpie pen in white when using it on a metal surface dry glossy?
It’s got more of a gloss than an acrylic paint pen for sure. I would call it glossy but you’ll have to see if it’s glossy enough for what you need. 🤙🏼
@@WelzieArt great.... it will work great for the white work bench from home depot that is a white powe rcoat that is glossy. I just need it for a few touch ups.
I plan on painting/drawing on a gloss black motorcycle helmet. So presume oil based is best? Thanks for creating this video!
Yeah I would recommend oil. The high plastic polish is hard for pens to stick to but oil will work best. Have fun and stay inspired 🤙🏼
So I'm relatively new into art. I have a knack for oil paints on canvas but I think some of my work could use some finer, more controlled highlights/outlines.
I figured an oil pen/marker would help me achieve that. In my mind I'd let the oil paint on the canvas dry before going back over and adding a few lines with the pen or marker to touch up a few things.
Sound reasonable? Thanks in advance
Very reasonable! Oil based pens and pencils will be a great addition to your oil paintings. Have fun and stay inspired 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Hi! I was also considering using oil based markers on my oil paintings and i was wondering if you could some feedback if you tried it. I'm nervous about the paint cracking... did it come out fine?
@estelle8345 yeah it went fine. As I tried to elude to I was mostly just re enforcing some outlines, but I also waited until after my base coat dried. I don't have any tips for blending with them, but I will recommend that you draw a bit in some scratch paper ti get the paint in the tip and get used to them.
Okay thank you very much!
Thanks 👍,and one question:What is best on canvas?
Either works great. As long as not putting acrylic over oil. Oil is less transparent if that helps. Have fun!
question, im looking into this right now and have some "molotow" brand pens which advertise themselves as "high end acrylic" paint pens, and they seem to be advertised to work on most everything, molotow is a grafitti brand in any case. Im not sure exactly but i think it might have somethign to do with "enamel" or "acrylic enamel" which is a term i keep seeing pop up, but never really understood. Do you have any insights?
There can be acrylic enamel. Enamel is the type of finish not necessarily the chemical compound. Hope that helps
Hey! Thanks for the info! Can I use oil-based pens on LED light bulb surrounds? Will they be translucent enough? Cheers
I have not tried that but the oil base pens will stick to the bulbs. Oil based is thicker than acrylic so less light will be able to shine through. Good luck! 🤙🏼
@@WelzieArt Thx! Just caught your IG account - love your work!
Thank you!
Awesome info! I want to draw a design on my wall. I will need to remove wallpaper so will have some prep, for sure. To do design, oil based or acrylic? I’m not sure what type of base paint yet…depends On your reply. Thanks!
Definitely stick to acrylic based! Oil on a wall inside is a nightmare to get rid of. Acrylic will bond properly, easy to clean up, easy to fix… so many reasons. Try only use paint pens for small details. Acrylic paint will be quicker, cheaper, easier and higher quality. Have fun! Stay inspired!
Thanks so much for this reply! We definitely don’t need any nightmares on our wall. Excited to try this! So excited, that I might, in fact, do it in several areas! Thanks again!
Yay! Stay inspired!
If I make art with molotow and sakura pentouch acrylic inks on canvas, how long will they last with proper varnish coating? The manufacturers claims them to be of archival quality.
I don’t use those pens so I can’t really say. Generally archival ink or archival quality will last 100 years. If not placed in direct sunlight it should last long enough for a couple generations. Hope this helps. Stay inspired!! 🤙🏼
Can you use acrylic clear coat over oil based chrome pen?
No you can’t
Hello, and thanks for this great informative video.
I am working on a painting now using Gamblin oil paints on a large canvas.
Can I do my outlines using Oil Pen Markers?
I haven’t tried oil pens over traditional oil paint. You might find the oil pen markers crack a little bit. In theory it should work but 🤷🏻♂️ experiment first. Have fun and stay inspired, aloha 🤙🏼
Use an alkyd medium with the Gamblin (Liquin,etc) and paint in thin layers. It’ll cure faster and allow the oil pen addition to not crack.
What can i use to show up bright on black carbon fiber arrows?
Posca pens will work great but will have to coat with acrylic spray. Sharpie oil based pen might be just a tad less bright but at least you won’t have to clear coat it.
Have fun and stay inspired !
I want to paint my hard boot plastic skate with acrylic what is the steps to do it , do I have to make it With sand paper first?
It’s best to try a little bit of the acrylic on the plastic and make sure it sticks. If it does then go ahead. Oil pens seem to work much better on plastic but if you don’t have oil pens test the acrylic before committing to drawing over the whole boot. Hope this helps. Stay inspired 🤙🏼
Absolutely beautiful artwork in the beginning!❤
Please help me Can I use the Sharpie White Oil based pen
can i use it on a post it note? Surprisingly no one can answer this.
Thanks! You can absolutely use white oil based sharpie on a post it note. It might bleed through the paper, might not. But short answer is yes 👍🏼🤙🏼
@@WelzieArt thx hun! I went ahead and got metallic permanent markers instead lol
Hi there, what works better to draw on shrink plastics ?
Oil is best. Acrylic can work but rubs off easier. Oil will not rub off or need any sort of coating to stay on.
Have fun stay inspired 🤙🏼
Hey Welzie, Thanks for the video! Would Acrylic be alright on my PU boards for a while without clear coating it? (I was thinking it be nice if I could wipe it off with alcohol or something in the future)
Thanks,
Acrylic will work. It’s what I use. I recommend clear coat or it will rub off in the surf. In the future you can sand off the artwork if needed.
Stay inspired! Aloha 🤙🏼
@@WelzieArt Sweet! Thanks 😊
Thanks! I almost buy the acrylic. If I want to paint a phone case and add a coat of resin ?
Don’t add resin to a phone case. Best to use an enamel clear coat over the plastic phone case. Have fun and stay inspired 🤙🏼
I want to make hand coloured wooden pins and unique pieces tic tac toe boards (Burgers and Pizzas, Sushi and Fish etc...). What do you suggest I do to paint and finish the pieces for long term lasting? I have a laser engraver (Glowforge) and would just like some direction.
Oil based works the best but acrylic would be the”healthier” and “greener” option. Paint will work better for you than markers for sure. High quality house paint is super durable
Hi. 👋 I was wondering, what type of paint markers is best for drawing on leather?
I’m not sure but I will be doing some experiments with leather soon. Paint pens, and leather paint. Stay tuned
My white oil based sharpie paint pen doesn't seem to work on paper, it dries in a way that looks more like a whipped stain then an intentional stroke or dot. Am I doing something wrong or do they not work on paper?
I have a hard time with oil based sharpies on paper. They tend to just pull up the paper into the tip. A glossy paper might work better but again I don’t really do the oil on paper. I don’t think you’re doing something wrong it’s just white paint pen on white paper is a tough mix. Then add the oil based factor and well, problems. Oil works great on many surfaces and last a long time, but they won’t be your best friend with paper products. Keep experimenting, have fun and stay inspired. You’ll find something that works for you.
@@WelzieArt Thanks for the tip, I guess I'll have to get a new pen or find another way to draw it on. Thanks again!
Looking for a navy blue oil based marker only seem to be in acrylic from what I can find - just looking for it for an autograph on a funco (plastic part) would that be fine with acrylic?
If you’re not going to touch it an acrylic might work (plastics tend to vary on what works) but sharpie makes great oil based pens and I think they have navy blue. Good luck
I saw all "blues" acrylic set- going to get an autograph from Robocop - the cop uniform in the movie is navy blue but a lil different/I saw marker set of blue's one them matches that color/I figure the autograph marker same color as the uniform
If it’s same color it will be hard to see. I would recommend white. Something with high contrast to navy blue.
Hi, wondering if the Posca pens would work well for art over a base layer of paint on my bike? Would of course cover with clear coat. Like the color choices better in the acrylic pens. Also want to be able to fix mistakes as I go.
Your bike is painted with an oil based paint so acrylic won’t adhere as well. It may work temporarily but won’t last as long as an oil based paint pen.
Say, what oil paint pens would you recommend? Deco Color has a fair range of colors. Any others? Thanks so much. Also, what clear coat do you recommend?
@clayslocum5506 i like the color selection of sharpie oil based pens. I use crystal clear spray enamel from Home Depot. I have a video on it. Good luck
Also does oil bassed come of I I touch it alot cause I'm using it on my controller
Sorry for not responding sooner! Oil based should not come off on your controller and I recommend it over acrylic. You won’t need to do any prep with oil based. Just draw dry and play. Stay inspired!
what paint pens work for glossy card stock papper
We use oil based pens on our glossy card stock
Hello I enjoyed your video but I need to know can I use oil based pens on resin molds before the epoxy is added & will it stain the mold or should I use an acrylic paint pen instead?
That’s going to be hard for the pen not to transfer to the resin you pour in. You’ll have better luck with an oil based pen for sure. Acrylic won’t want to stick to the mold surface. I would recommend using oil on your mold surface, let completely dry, then apply your mold release being very generous over the pen marked area. I can’t guarantee this will work but it will be less likely to fail than acrylic. Best bet is to figure out how to not to mark up your mold with anything. Good luck. Don’t be afraid to experiment a little first. Stay inspired, aloha 🤙🏼
Thank you so much for the quick response ☺️
Thank you so much! Great information.
Thanks!
My brother, I have a question: What if I wanted to draw on a real car, which pen would be suitable for writing ink or oil?
If you’re going to not prep the surface I would say oil based pen. If it’s going to be sanded ahead of time and clear coated I would probably use acrylic
Do the acrylic pens work on felt
I haven’t tried but my guess is oil based would be better
Can you use these pens to sign your name on an oil paint canvas for art work
You can but I don’t recommend it. The pen can sometimes show through on canvas prints. The pen might not show through on a thick oil painting but on a canvas print it does sometimes show when held up to the light. I recommend using a soft pencil for signing the back.
If you’re talking about signing the front in oil pen over oil pen, you can do it but I don’t recommend it. Might as well do it with oil paint. It will look better and you will not run into any problems. Good luck. Stay inspired, aloha 🤙🏼
What would be better for painting plastic model kits, Acrylic or Oil based pens?
Acrylic can work on plastic but oil does work better. The downside to oil is the colors aren’t as bright but if the models don’t need bright colors oil will be fine.
Acrylic will rub off easier than oil so it will need a clear coat to stay on for any length of time.
Have fun and stay inspired 🤙🏼
@@WelzieArt thanks, appreciate your reply
Would you know which works better on terra cotta small planter pots? It's for guests at a party. Most of us are not artists. Thank you!
I haven’t tried it yet but sharpie oil based pens should work for sure. Posca pens should work too, just haven’t tried it. Posca will clean up easier as it washes off with water. Oil pens don’t. The posca pens might be less permanent but more convenient. Good luck! 🤙🏼
@@WelzieArt Thank you and Happy Fourth of July. I'm going to try the Posca pens!
Thanks! You’ll love them!
The oil base style pen was originally used for welding that way the heat would not erase your measuring mark.
Interesting fact. Thanks!!
I have a car that is vinyl wrapped and I want to do a cartoon style comic outline of the car what is your recommendation? From what I saw in the video oil based seems the way to go but would love a proper answer!
Oil based will be the way to go. Try experimenting a little on a part of the car that is hard to see. Good luck!
Hey, just wondering if the oil based pens will still to metal headphones (sounds like it should). On part of my headphones the black has worn off the metal (aluminium I'd say). Will this work?.... cheers.
Yes the oil based pens will park better and you won’t have to clear spray coat them. Good luck 🤙🏼
@@WelzieArt thanks.
We're starting a little farm stand. We bought some nice Loddie pens and a chalkboard/ sandwich board. However we had a bit of rain and it all washed off! What pen can withstand some rain but is also erasable as our offerings change every week? 🤔 thanks so much!
I don’t think there is a pen that’s rain proof and washable

They would Scrub off with a Scouring Pad & soapy water??

oil based paint marker suitable for tyre and how long it can hold sir ?
Not sure what a tyre but an oil based pen will last the longest compared to an acrylic pen. 🤙🏼
Hiya, amazing that you're still replying to comments on a 2 year old video. Just wanted to ask what you'd recommend for decorating fabric like denim or canvas shoes. I've got a black pair of shoes I've been using white acrylic paint pens on but I'm finding it quite hard to keep the paint flowing consistently and it's making my designs all blotchy.
Try oil based paint pens. But you’ll probably have more success with paint and a paint brush. It’s hard to have paint markers work on felt/fabric, anything not smooth
Are using poly with MEK catalyst or Uv cure on Posca color?
I use poly with MEK. But I have used UV cure on posca. I haven’t had many problems with both.
What kind of paint pens do you recommend for paper like index cards and such?
Posca paint pens work great. You may find that softer paper gets pulled up into the paint pen too but this can easily be sorted by wiping the tip off on the back of your hand. Have fun!

Very useful info, thank you ❤
Thank you!
If I ever get a bass guitar of my own, I think I'll go with the oils. I really don't wanna deal with pulling it apart and put a clear coat on it and then putting it back together.
That’s exactly what I would recommend 🤙🏼
Can I use posca pens on the glass or mugs or ceramic?
I have not tried on ceramic but glass yes. I have a video on drawing on glass.
Have fun and stay inspired 🤙🏼
@@WelzieArt thank you so much
Will oil based work on a latex mask
Yes it will. I use acrylic to decorate my 3m respirator and it works fine. Oil pretty much works on everything but a little tricky to work with. Hope this helps. Stay inspired, aloha
What type of pen should I use on a stainless steel water bottle? And can I seal it?
I’ve used oil based. Even sealed it will come off because water bottles are so highly used. Some spray enamel might seal it up but I’m not sure how well it will stay on stainless steel
@@WelzieArtthanks😊
Which one is best for canvas tote bag?
I would go with oil based paint pens for anything on fabric. Acrylic will just wash away. Have fun. Stay inspired 🤙🏼
HELP! I want to use oil markers before adding oil to my canvas (already gessoed the canvas so it´s very smooth) first I apply thin butn umber then completely dry, THEN I want to do a complex drawing with the oil marker (white) can that be done? After that I will apply ticker oil on top of everything, but fear it may damage the oil on top thanks!
You’re best bet is to use acrylic as it’s your first layer over the acrylic gesso. Oil does fine over acrylic paint pens. Oil pens will work as well as oil over oil works, but you might find that you have better luck with the acrylic. Hope this helps. Have fun and stay inspired 🤙🏼
@@WelzieArt thank you so much!
Is this the right thinking?
Making a giant “ruler” for some children’s heights:
1) Stained (unpainted) natural wood, then 2) Acrylic paint markers, then 3) clear coat spray enamel, and finally 4) Regular old sharpie to mark heights?
Or does 4) need to be an oil-based sharpie?
I’ve found for 2) that regular Sharpies bleed into the wood and don’t have clean edges.
Thanks!
Oil based sharpie will be best. Stay inspired
Tile Grout Pens, from Shein & Temu work very well & Not just on Tiles/Grout. They are water based, but waterproof when dry - I use them for painting my Fishing Floats (Red & Black) Available in other colours also, like Yellow, Green, blue & Metallic Silver.
Great tip thank you! I’ll have to get some of those and test em out. Thanks!
can i customize shoes using sharpie.
Yes you can. Oil or acrylic paint pens will work great. Acrylic you will have to put a clear on though. Have fun stay inspired!
Hello, what would be best for car stitching? I was to dye my white stitching to red. Thanks
I haven’t tried that but you may wanna use acrylic so if you get any on the seat it will come off easier than an oil based pen. Good luck!
Have you personally used a brand called overseas paint markers?
I haven’t
Very helpful, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I have a glass surfaced Darth Vader frame that lights up and I plan on getting it autographed, which pen would you recommend?
Definitely use oil based pen on glass. More permanent than acrylic. Make sure it dries before touching the signature 🤙🏼
Thank you very much!!
