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.

I will also stop holding the nib in for long periods of time to get the ink out, and use the pumping method instead.
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.

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.

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
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

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?

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
Yes that will make an oil based pen tip clog. If you must, just make sure plenty of paint is in the tip of the pen to help Jeep it from clogging too fast
@@WelzieArt There is (or was) a marker they used in junkyards to mark pulls. It was a stick of stiff "grease", yellow, that was wrapped in foil that you peeled away as it wore down. Have been trying for over 30 mn trying to find on internet. "Grease Pen" or pencil yields something completely different. Application would be industrial. Couldn't find at McMaster either.
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!
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.
Do you have a recommendation for ballpoint oil paint pens? Most junkyards use a particular type that's like 100 Dollars. It's not for art really, but for utility.
Would using a blue oil base marker will work on marking a name on a black shirt? Would their be better colors you recommend. I just need the letters to be very clear on the dark fabric.
@@WelzieArt I found that out myself on Wednesday when Silver and Gold Oil Based Markers was all I had in my bag😂 The Silver worked good . Thank you for replying.
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!
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.
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!
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 🤙🏼
Great question. I think the best for leather is actual leather paint (but I’ve never tried it) posca pens work for sneakers but if you’re trying to do art on leather I would go with oil based pens. Hope this helps. Make sure to do a couple tests before just to be sure. Have fun and stay inspired 🤙🏼
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
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 🤙🏼
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!

Hey brother, what do you think is the best to use over epoxy resin to sign for a autograph, very nervous about it was thinking about posca,deco color,Molowtow. But would love to hear your thoughts and could send a picture of the piece if needed.
@WelzieArt hey was wondering if sharpies oil based pen had acidus ingredients that can sink into the epoxy writing over it cause have heard the regular sharpies can do such
Oil paints will work under acrylic, but you have let them cure. This could take upwards of a week. They can cure faster under a heat gun or blow dryer. Over acrylic is where they really shine. They tend to desaturated acrylic pigments. I use this in miniture painting to achieve a "grim dark" astatic.
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
I've been painting on glasses with DecoArt oil based pens. It doesn't take that long for the image to wear off. What do you suggest? Would it help to oven set?
I make rustic wooden American flags & I put a couple of coats of polycyclic on them. A customer would like some people sign it! What pen would work better?
Acrylic should work, but sometimes it doesn’t always work on poly. I don’t know why but it just doesn’t always work. Your best bet is the oil based. Works on everything.
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
Hi. This is wonderfully informative. I work with paint by numbers and there are some AMAZING pbns out there. I wonder if acrylic paint pens would work on canvas? Instead of painting with a brush. Would i need to prep the canvas? Do you think acrylic markers in canvas would work.
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 🤙🏼
@@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.
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
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!

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 🤙🏼
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
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 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 🤙🏼
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.
I used the Acrylic pens (Posca) on my handbags that are vinyl and faux leather and it rubbed right off. I wanted to know if the oil based pens would be better?
Yes the oil based pens will work way better. It won’t stay on forever but it will work way better than the acrylic. Don’t do a rub off test with the oils right away. Let it dry completely. Have fun. Stay inspired! 🤙🏼
I would treat it like it was leather and prep it before you paint it with posca pens . Also angelus acrylic leather paint is the absolute way to go for faux and real leather such as hand bags and shoes I would apply their clear coat regardless of how the paint adhered
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.
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
I am looking specifically for painting on glass. Do you have a favorite oil based brand? I would like as many colors as I can get without breaking the bank. Also, in searching, I've noticed some are neon colors..I don't think I want neon. Thx!
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 🤙🏼
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
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 🤙🏼
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.
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,

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 for the explanation! Are both pens suitable for works on primed canvas?
Yes
Oil-based doesn't work on polymer clay, rven though it's plastic.
Good tip! Thanks!
What about coloring them playing marbles? Any suggestions that would stay on?
Oil based pens will be best
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
@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
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
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.
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 🤙🏼
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
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!
is that your studio youre sitting in? i love how your poscas are stored. ive got all mine in some fancy packing box that was made for wine glasses

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
Hi i can use the acrylic pepo on the fins?
Should work fine
What about junk yard engines and transmissions: oiley, caked on grease, dirt, etc. will they clog?
Yes that will make an oil based pen tip clog. If you must, just make sure plenty of paint is in the tip of the pen to help Jeep it from clogging too fast
@@WelzieArt There is (or was) a marker they used in junkyards to mark pulls. It was a stick of stiff "grease", yellow, that was wrapped in foil that you peeled away as it wore down. Have been trying for over 30 mn trying to find on internet. "Grease Pen" or pencil yields something completely different. Application would be industrial. Couldn't find at McMaster either.
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
Sharpie has tons now! I use them for clothing/ merch for my band!
Sharpie makes great paint markers! Have fun and stay inspired 🤙🏼
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.
Do you have a recommendation for ballpoint oil paint pens? Most junkyards use a particular type that's like 100 Dollars. It's not for art really, but for utility.
I don’t, but if sharpie has one I. Et it pretty solid
I need to know if these work on Felt fabric . Thx GB U
I’m not sure if they work on felt but give it a try!
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 🤙🏼
Would using a blue oil base marker will work on marking a name on a black shirt? Would their be better colors you recommend. I just need the letters to be very clear on the dark fabric.
You’re going to have a hard time writing with any color on a black shirt. You might find that an oil based silver is the only thing that shows.
@@WelzieArt I found that out myself on Wednesday when Silver and Gold Oil Based Markers was all I had in my bag😂 The Silver worked good . Thank you for replying.
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!
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
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.
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's best for leather surfaces? Like: sneakers.
Great question. I think the best for leather is actual leather paint (but I’ve never tried it) posca pens work for sneakers but if you’re trying to do art on leather I would go with oil based pens.
Hope this helps. Make sure to do a couple tests before just to be sure.
Have fun and stay inspired 🤙🏼
@@WelzieArt thank you
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
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 🤙🏼
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
@@WelzieArt 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.

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

Hey brother, what do you think is the best to use over epoxy resin to sign for a autograph, very nervous about it was thinking about posca,deco color,Molowtow. But would love to hear your thoughts and could send a picture of the piece if needed.
Use an oil based pen. Should work fine
@@WelzieArt thank you so much means alot. Any brand you recommend?
@cadenwilliamss4270 in my opinion sharpie makes the best oil based pen, but it’s been a while since I’ve used molowtow
@WelzieArt hey was wondering if sharpies oil based pen had acidus ingredients that can sink into the epoxy writing over it cause have heard the regular sharpies can do such
@@cadenwilliamss4270 I think the oil based will be fine on epoxy but I always make sure you experiment first.
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?
Sharpie is my favorite for colors and quality. You can try some spray enamel for the acrylic on phone case. I have a video on clear coating
Oil paints will work under acrylic, but you have let them cure. This could take upwards of a week. They can cure faster under a heat gun or blow dryer.
Over acrylic is where they really shine. They tend to desaturated acrylic pigments. I use this in miniture painting to achieve a "grim dark" astatic.
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 🤙🏼
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
I've been painting on glasses with DecoArt oil based pens. It doesn't take that long for the image to wear off. What do you suggest? Would it help to oven set?
You could use a spray enamel but it will wear off too. Anything high use and rubbing won’t be able last
I make rustic wooden American flags & I put a couple of coats of polycyclic on them. A customer would like some people sign it! What pen would work better?
Acrylic should work, but sometimes it doesn’t always work on poly. I don’t know why but it just doesn’t always work. Your best bet is the oil based. Works on everything.
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!
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😊
Do the acrylic pens work on felt
I haven’t tried but my guess is oil based would be better
Hi. This is wonderfully informative. I work with paint by numbers and there are some AMAZING pbns out there. I wonder if acrylic paint pens would work on canvas? Instead of painting with a brush. Would i need to prep the canvas? Do you think acrylic markers in canvas would work.
Acrylic markers do work on canvas but you might find they can crack. Prep surface with acrylic paint. Stay inspired 🤙🏼
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 ☺️
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.
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
I am getting my canvas painting signed by the athlete. Deco or Artistro pen ?
Get it signed with an oil based pen. Make sure you get the pen ready to go before the signature. Good luck!
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
Which one works better on leather jackets? Wich one lasts longer on leather jackets?
Oil based would probably be your best bet but I recommend experimenting first a little
@@WelzieArt thanks
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!

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.
Can you use acrylic clear coat over oil based chrome pen?
No you can’t
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!!
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 🤙🏼
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
Can you use posca acrylic on car Tyres and it be permanent?
I would use oil based for car tires. 🤙🏼
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.🤙🏼
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 🤙🏼

Thanks!!
I used the Acrylic pens (Posca) on my handbags that are vinyl and faux leather and it rubbed right off. I wanted to know if the oil based pens would be better?
Yes the oil based pens will work way better. It won’t stay on forever but it will work way better than the acrylic. Don’t do a rub off test with the oils right away. Let it dry completely. Have fun. Stay inspired! 🤙🏼
Are these pens good for magazine doodling?
@odettagonzalez4355 i think posca pens will be perfect
@@WelzieArt Mahalo and Aloha🤙🏽❤️
I would treat it like it was leather and prep it before you paint it with posca pens . Also angelus acrylic leather paint is the absolute way to go for faux and real leather such as hand bags and shoes I would apply their clear coat regardless of how the paint adhered
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.
Yes use oil
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.
What would go best no fabric? Please tell me 🙏🙏
Oil based pens will be least likely to wash out of fabric. Hope this helps! Stay inspired 🤙🏼
sharpie has fabric pens now!
Great news!!
I am looking specifically for painting on glass. Do you have a favorite oil based brand? I would like as many colors as I can get without breaking the bank. Also, in searching, I've noticed some are neon colors..I don't think I want neon. Thx!

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. 🤙🏼
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 🤙🏼
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
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.
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 🤙🏼
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!
Which one will suit on paper
Both will work on paper but I would recommend acrylic over oil if working on paper.
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.
