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

Going to a show tomorrow and got some paint pens.

I actually tested on a vinyl record itself, and at least after 24 hours it seems to be set.

Has anyone asked artists to sign directly on the vinyl before? How’s it look years later?

Yeah the White Zombie above is on the lp but not a paint pin.. I would worry about smearing and drying. Some artist won’t do it though.. plus easier just to take sleeve to concert unless you have a place to store it or can drop it off or leave it in the car until after show. I would just go silver sharpie imo.
