Buena calidad, solo hay que practicar un poco antes, quizá aplicarlo sobre una prueba y después ya en el lugar previsto, aconsejo hacerlo con cuidado y poner quizá un poco de cinta para evitar que se corra la tinta

Green Pen let paint flow no problem. White paint pen seems like the paint has hardened inside, doesn't make the same sound when sharing prior to use and paint doesn't flow.

As with any product where the user needs to have the ability to do the work, I think the reviews will be all over the place. Those users that don't have the skills and/or patience will get a bad result, and consequently trash the product.Having said that, I am actually impressed! I didn't know what to really expect based on the bad reviews, but went ahead and ordered them. I am very happy I did, because the pen worked great. I only needed the orange one, so I can't speak about the others (yet). The color is really bright, and the finish is flat to avoid reflections.The pen's tips are "spring loaded" and one must press down, making the felt tip go "in" until it hits the stop. Do that a few times, and the paint will start flowing. Don't forget to shake it first.Also, for the green/orange colors to really "pop" one must paint over white. So get a white base coat on whatever you are going to paint first. I had white nail polish on the front sight already, so I painted over that. I assume the white pen is there to also perform duties as "primer" for the other two.The tips are a bit thick, but not terribly so. Just take your time and do several coats to ensure even coverage. Use a toothpick to "erase" mistakes.

I used these to mark my LCP II front sight. It is significantly faster to use, and results in a more confident sight picture. The less light there is, the more pronounced the difference. I applied a coat of white and then a coat of red.This paint takes some care to apply though. My procedure was as follows:1. Clean the front sight with a qtip dipped in rubbing alcohol.2. Put painters tape along the sides and front of the sight.3. Prepare the white pen. Shake it for 30 seconds and then press it against a paper several times to get it flowing. Make some short practice lines to make sure paint delivery is even and to get a feel for the pen.4. Run the pen from the top of the sight to the bottom in one smooth, slow, motion. If any of the sight didn't get paint, do this step again.5. Wait a few minutes for the paint to dry and then remove the painters tape carefully.6. Use a toothpick to scratch off any excess paint on the slide, or side of the sight.7. Repeat 1-6 using the orange pen after waiting 15-20 minutes for the white layer to dry.
