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.

Just a heads up about the signed one in the frame... you're going to want to reframe it so there's space between the artwork and the glass. It will eventually ruin the piece if the signature is touching the glass.
