Testors EPM25-2549, 1, Black

I use this for touching-up inside film cameras, lenses, and other optical apparatus after repairs or modifications. Marks left on screw heads vanish with just a dab. Great for those occasional 'oops I slipped' moments when replacing light seals. But they really shine for use on lens retaining rings. These rings thread into the lens housing and hold the glass lens elements in place. They have slots (or holes) to engage a lens spanner wrench. It's almost impossible to get them out without leaving some sort of mark in that slot. Sometimes the paint chips inside or around the slot leaving a bright metal surface - very unsightly. One little dab, wait a few minutes or hit the ring with a heat gun (before reinstalling) and good as new. Paint has good coverage, good adhesion, dries quickly, and flattens well. I haven't used this in areas that will get handled so I can't comment on durability.On the bad side the tip is a rather soft and flattens or gets fuzzy very easy. It's much softer than the tip of a regular marker. Also, to my surprise, the tip will very easily pull out of the marker. I often 'sharpen' marker tips by trimming them with a razor blade for fine work. I went to take a slice off the tip and the razor pulled it from the marker and it landed on the floor. Another issue is to get the paint flowing one 'pump it' by pushing the tip in and out, usually against a flat surface. This will blunt the tip.Until I found these I had been using a black Sharpie - acceptable for small spots but too glossy.Summary:Pros: (1) Works well, good quality paint. (2) Dries fast. (3) Super convenient. (4) Nice for camera work.Cons: (1) Soft tip. (2) Awkward to get started. (3) Tip not held in place very securely.

so far it is working just great for my jeep bumper !the other company , a well known one, i had was junk.it was dry or empty with one use- this pen is great so far and matchs the bumper way better then the other one i threw outlets hope it does not dry out or die as fast as that other brand ... the pen also sounds like it has more paint in it , i can at least hear is sloshing around in there where as the other one was sounding almost empty from start.i will update as the week goes by and let ya know how well its doing , so far i like this pen better

Wanted to touch up my matte black water dispenser faucet. Matte black faucets have a slight sheen so the touch up marker is definitely a flat matte black. Not an exact match but not bad either. Not sure if something else would work better for faucets. See my before and after photos.

👍🏻

This has superior coverage and color. It's not a marker. It's paint.

Been looking for a flat black marker that works on metal and this is the one. Love it. Drys flat. Paint pen doesn’t dry out like other pens. Perfect for my needs. I wish they had other colors in flat. Will continue to purchase.

This item is missing the tip applicator rendering it completely useless!! Adding insult to injury is it's not returnable and I can't get credit! Infuriating!!!

I purchased product for my 2018 Camaro black rims. I hit a curb and it scraped some of the black off of the corner of rim. Product is ok, I got the “flat black” seeing that glossy black wouldn’t be good for a “matte” rim. The product goes on easy, directions are easy to understand, but the black dries into a light gray color. It’s defin better than seeing the silver of the rim but the flat black product doesn’t dry as flat black.
