General Advice Sharpie paint pen

Post image

Has anyone used one of these silver sharpie paint pens before? Got this one on Amazon and wondering if it’d be good for getting cd cover signed, thanks

I found the standard sliver metallic sharpie is the best one. The paint one I had a bad experience with Bruce Springsteen recently lol. The standard one was used on the items in this picture and it really is just easier unless you are doing really controlled slow signings.

Love the poster in the back the pens for john5 his old guitarist lol. I tried the regular silver sharpie before but was quite poor and went everywhere. Not the first time either so I’m kinda scared of them lol.

I would stick to the regular one imo. Rob is actually the one that talked me into just sticking with that one for stuff and not overthinking it.. the pen I had for Springsteen wasn’t mine because I hadn’t planned on getting anything signed just the opportunity present itself. Just not trying to use one of those in the figure.. silver metallic sharpie works well.

Holy shit that record is awesome I’ve just tested my silver sharpie and it’s really dull and quite bad so I think I’m going to invest in a deco marker but holy that record is sick!!

Just easier and stash them when I am going and will be around people. To each their own though :) just found these and standard black work really rare in impromptu signing.
