Everyone knows about the Silver Sharpie, but what about Michaels' Recollections, or the silver Staedtler or Permapaque markers? I honestly did not realize that there was actually that many challengers out there to the ubiquitous Silver Sharpie, and the surprising thing about all three of those pens - they're either on par or better than the Sharpie. But in the end - all markers should be considered to be disposable. Sharpie Metallic Marker

This is also an acrylic marker like the Molotow One4All, but the one thing that makes it unique from the rest of the metallic markers is that they tend to be more dull metal than metallic in appearance. It seems almost too perfect to use an eraser to clean up ink. And yet, a pencil eraser can often take care of the problem without requiring escalation. Erasers work by grabbing and pulling particles off the surface upon which they rub. This performs like the other paint pens, but there's a couple things that set it apart from the others I've tested. The first thing is that it's acrylic, meaning that it doesn't have any fumes, and you can refill these pens and see how much ink is left on the side thanks to a built-in window. Definitely an option to consider if you are sensitive to smells, and is by far the best acrylic paint pen of the four I tested. One thing that the One4All Acrylic line has going for it, is that it has nearly 50 different colors to choose from. Molotow Liquid Chrome Let the ink sit for a few minutes, and then wipe the surface with a clean rag. The stains should wipe away. Repeat as needed.

Fabrics are porous by nature, and they drink up any ink they encounter and allow it to spread through the fibers. Removing ink from clothes can be tough, but you can do it with a little effort. I'm not going to waste time talking about this marker - avoid it at all costs, as it's by far the worst one I've tested of all of the markers. When used, it did not yield crisp signatures, rather it was more diffused and bubbly, and was more translucent and glittery than the other paint pens.

Best of all, you can create most of our remedies with items already in your home. Clean Wood with Toothpaste and Baking Soda

Sharpie stains don’t only occur on fabrics and hard surfaces, of course. You’ve probably given yourself a few semi-permanent tattoos by mistake with a mistaken gesture or two. When you wind up staining your skin, you’ll have to take a different approach than when you deal with fabric or surface stains. This is a brand that I have heard mention many times by European collectors, but have not seen them myself in any US-based stores, so I was fortunate to get some help with obtaining some of these pens. Without typing up too much of the same stuff, they are just like the Decocolor paint pens, but are more readily available in stores to the European consumer. Solid performer and no issues with the end result. Like the Decocolor series, they're available in different nib sizes and colors, but are only identified as such with different numbers, such as 780 for Extra Fine, 751 for Fine, and 750 for Broad Uni Posca Mix the cream of tartar and lemon juice in a small bowl, and use a cloth to apply the mixture to the stains. Let the solution sit on the marks for a few minutes, and then rinse the fabric. Repeat if needed. Use a Professional Stain Remover You may have heard of Staedtler before with their blue Lumocolor permanent markers, they're a German company, so this brand is more available and popular over in Europe. This marker is a lot like the Silver Sharpie, but the difference with this marker is the tip, which has a finer point, which is useful for when you want to get a signer to do a quote or are adding a lot of signatures on an item. In my tests, I'd say it is comparable when compared with the Silver Sharpie in both results and price point, but is more reliable. One thing of note, is that it will wipe off of highly smooth surfaces like plaques, statue bases, and glossy trading cards.. Sakura Permapaque Marker Always use only the force needed to take care of the issue. A super-strong cleaner might remove the stain, but that won’t help if it damages the fabric as it cleans.Also, it’s ultimately up to you to test the pens for yourself to see what would work best for you and your item, as not every surface, climate, condition, etc can be reasonably tested for. This was just because I wanted to try out a bunch of pens and find the best one out there, and figured the community would enjoy the information.

Prismacolor Premier For example, there are 30 different colors in the Decocolor line, 22 in the Edding 751 line, and 59 in the Uni Posca line. Some words of advice when using paint pens is to carefully read the instructions for first prepping and using that particular pen, as some can be quirky, and the other is to prep and test the pen just before the item is going to be signed, as you want to ensure the best result possible. Silver is the most popular metallic option, so I went out and bought as many random and different silver paint pens that I could find, and here are my findings. Sharpie Metallic Paint Pen This is the BIC Intensity of the paint pens - comes in either an extra fine tip or a broad tip that doesn't allow for much detail work, but would yield nice and bold signatures on larger pieces. Liquitex Professional Acrylic Since I had been using their 'basic' paint pen for awhile, I figured I should give their "premium" version a try and based upon my testing, I'm extremely disappointed with it. For an item that's double the price of their basic version, there's nothing premium about it other than a new label and it's a little more 'glittery' than the standard one. Hard pass.
