MOLOTOW Liquid Chrome Pump Marker Pen - 1mm Nib 703.101

For years and years, I've wanted to find a really good way to fix up toys whose chrome / vac-metal finish had worn off over the decades. And then I found some YouTube reviews that featured these Molotow Liquid Chrome Pens (they come in various handy sizes), so I bought a couple of them to try them out.Wow! The YouTube videos don't really do this product justice. You get a decent idea of the end results in the videos, but they're so much better in person. Having tried to photograph some of my own finished projects, it IS rather hard to get good pictures of how well these Molotow Liquid Chrome Pens work.After giving the pens a good shake and spotting the nibs a couple of times, the "liquid chrome" flows nicely. I've never used a paint pen before, but with a little practice, I soon get the hang of it. With a slow, steady hand, you can get excellent, smooth coverage with the paint. Once you've finished painting, leave the project to dry for three to seven days (depending on the thickness of the coat you just put on), and you'll find the finish is nicely set. If you try to handle the newly-painted surface before then, it can smudge horribly and mar the effect. You can also open the pens up and tip the paint into an airbrush (if you have one) for smoother, faster, and more even coverage.You'll need a little practice and patience with these at first, but once you get the hang of them, they really do an amazing job of replicating ultra-shiny chrome / vac-metal finishes. Highly recommended for model-makers, toy customisers, or for people who just want to restore their old Death Star Droid or add some zazz to a project.

The pen is much the same size as a Posca pen or a Sharpie. Flows well and easy to apply. the pen has bristles however, that are easy to damage, so be gentle. The chrome is ... chrome. Good enough to use as mirrors on models, or for spot details. Writing, whatever.

This is one of the best silver pens on the market but it does not provide the durable lasting finish that I was hoping for. It is described as durable, scratch and abrasion proof, but in reality the shiny silver finish can rub off really easily.

This stuff really does resemble chrome, perfect for modelling for instance the Tamiya range of 1/12 motorcycles or cars have a lot of chrome parts and there will always be noticeable marks where these parts fit together or sometimes the chrome finish they supply is just not quite right.This stuff can be thinned with paint thinners , I use Vallejo and it can then be sprayed with a small airbrush like any modelling paints, just push the nib into a mixing cup and pump it up and down a few times and then add a few drops of thinner.This paint is actually so good and self levelling that some parts can be brush painted and it leaves no brush marks, you can use it straight from the pen or thin it a bit if required, I brush painted the wheels on a Tamiya 1/12 Z750 and the wheels really do look like chromed steel.The results truly look like real chrome and it seems to fairly hard wearing, nothing I have used it on have chipped, worn or gone dull.I am sure this has many uses for many arts and crafts but it certainly is the best stuff I have ever seen at replicating chrome on models.

I was rather sceptical as to how well this would work but have to say I'm absolutely delighted with this. I build models and although there are many choices of silver paint available but they dont give a true chrome effect. This really does. The picture doesn't really do the effect justice, but the 3 cylinder head cover bolts look exactly as if they were a good chromed plastic. This was with a 1mm pen and because it is a pen, it is very easy to apply to wherever you want it. Excellent product. I shall be looking at larger widths! Strongly recommend. Opens up all sorts of possibilities and not just for model making.

This marker is excellent, really high shine and easy to use.It's worth noting that you should give it at least 10-15 minutes to dry properly before you touch the ink, as touching it before it's dry will ruin the shine.Also really important detail - I've seen on other feedback that people couldn't get the pen to work - it is a pump action pen, so you have to press down on the pen hard enough to make the nib depress into the body of the pen, after that the ink will start to flow.Great item!

Having used lots of other brands of paint pens, gave this one a try and was very pleased with the results. Consistent delivery of paint and went on super smooth. Deffo recommend.

This is very easy to use. It seems to work best if you're generous with it, and there are no brush/stroke marks.It would be nice if there were other shades except for chrome, but washes can help.

Es la primera vez que compro este producto, y no me decepcionó, lo utilicé en papel y muy bien, sobre una pintura acrílica y muy bien, creo se puede utilizar en casi cualquier superficie

I use it to paint scale and 3D Printed models, and I never had a paint that looks so amazing real on plastic. Simple a great product, easy to apply and dries fast.

Je l'utilise pour décorer mes coloriages pour adultes. Génial !

Queda muy bien, da el pego genial. En la foto está pintado recientemente, pero ya pinte otra cosa antes que al día siguiente se veía igual. Para detalles de figuras de colección, para darle más realismo queda genial. Los que decís que no queda bien para pequeños retoques de cosas ya cromadas es que os toca pintar la pieza entera. Esto es para pequeños retoques. Si es para maquetas y cosas del estilo tenéis pintura cromo para pintar en aerógrafo. Esto es cómodo porque es un bolígrafo y su finalidad no es la de pintar una maqueta entera con esto, es para complementarlo con pintura en detalles

Conoscevo già il prodotto, lo uso da tempo per verniciare le cromature dei miei modelli statici e funziona a meraviglia, con una brillantezza che dura nel tempo. La punta fine è resistente e permette di colorare anche parti con spigoli aguzzi senza rovinarsi, ottimi il flusso e la copertura della vernice.
