Cant beat this price

So I gave in and decided to try acrylic paint pens because I couldnt locate the huge plastic tub of brand new, never opened bottles of acrylic paint. The tub is somewhere in my craft studio, and that place is like a snake pit - I cant find anything! ANYway, I ordered three different sets of Posca Paint Pens - the 0.7 mm extra-fine pen tips and the 1.8/2.5mm medium bullet tip pens., as well as the black and white variety pack (sizes range from 0.7 to 8mm chisel tip to 15mm big mama jama). Takes a bit to get all the wrappers off. Then you need to burp the tip (hold the pen with the tip pointing up, and with your thumb, press down to get rid of the air thats settled between the inner paint skin and the new felt/plastic tip inside where you cant see it). While burping is fun, this is tedious. And can leave you with bruised thumb tips. Yeah. Its a thing. Once theyve been burped, the real non-fun part begins: you gotta prime them. You can shake, shake, shake senora, shake it all around, but you should have a piece of notebook paper or old foam core (I used foam core) so that once youve shaken the snot out of them, you can press down on the paper a few dozen times to coax the paint into the tip. Warning: you can and will poke through the foam core board with the fine tip pens, so be sure youre doing this on a surface that you dont care about - otherwise, itll end up looking like it has the measles once youre done. Youve probably read other reviews that say on certain pens you can pull the tips out and turn them around if they become frayed. I saw the same reviews. And I remember thinking, oh great - Im gonna spend this kind of money on paint pens that arent gonna last very long at all before I gotta swap the tips, and then have to get more pens sooner than later. Well, lemme tell ya, Ive had these for over 2 months, with daily heavy use, and Ive only got one tip that I should probably flip but havent because I can still use it for larger coverage areas. So, dont freak out. Theyll last a good long while. One bit of advice I learned was, dont push the pens away from you when drawing/filling/lining with them. The pens want to flow, and they will if you remember to pull them towards you, and pull them gently. Sure, rocks (in my case) have uneven surfaces and textures, but taking it a bit slower when it comes to outlining with a fine tip pen, youll discover your pen doesnt skip or leave little eyelash-length splats or flecks. Another pointer is, if youre lettering with these pens and you make a mistake/paint blobs out, if you keep a few clean Q-tips/cotton swabs nearby, you can pop one into your mouth to get it a little moist, and swipe away the problem. The very cool thing about Posca Paint Pens is that, once they dry (and they dry very fast! bonus!) you can go right in with another color and have that color show up bright and clear. The pigment is thick and unless youre trying to make white stripes on a solid dark background, one coat will suffice. You *can* blend with the Poscas. Not very well, because they dry so fast. BUT! You CAN put enough paint down by allowing it to puddle/pool a bit with your first color, then come in with the second/lighter shade and swirl/blend to your desired shade. Dont worry if you get color on your pen tip. Itll come right off after a few squigglies on a scrap piece of paper. Do some curly-cues and once the other paint is visually off the tip, press down to get the pens paint color to come back to the surface. Voila! Read around on other reviews to see how to get dried Posca Paint Pen residue off your clothes. It will come off finished furniture with a little elbow grease and WD-40; unfinished furniture, not so much. This stuff soaks right in and its impossible to get out - so you might as well just paint the whole tabletop since youve already got your paint out! Hope this was helpful. The Poscas are expensive, but youre getting a high quality product. The writing on the pens labels is minuscule and in Japanese, and while youre thinking hey, I can keep these in their cute little crayon type upright box, nah forget that noise. Just dumpem in a small plastic container, throw in a few Q-tips and maybe whats left of an old notebook youve had lying around, and then tote the whole thing to your favorite chair, break out the (clean) rocks and start painting!

Received sealed box (as pictured) with all 24 sealed markers inside. Shipped very quickly and overall very happy with the product and the seller.

They didnt arrive in a Posca box rather loosely in a shipping box. Is that normal. We only received 22 of the 24 markers. But my son is totally excited and jumped all around and said he is not worried about the 2 missing so if he is happy then I am happy!

Pretty expensive but totally worth the money

Kind of a pain to get started but once they are, excellent colors and flow. Love them!!

The paint in these is opaque, which is nice. The tips are a good size for the project that I needed them for but may not be good for every project. I did find that the tip bled a little and the paint takes a while to dry as such. You can get good coverage with these. I used them to paint small jewelry pieces. Ive had friends tell me that they work well on windows for signage and window painting, so Ill try them on that next.

Quality made and vibrant colors. A bit pricey, but worth it.

I was really confused trying to figure out which colors were included and what were missing from the color guide I found on poscas website, so after figuring it out I thought Id post it here for anyone else wondering. This set is for the full range of the Japanese line of the PC-3M, .9-1.3mm, Fine, bullet tip posca pen, MINUS the 7 lame sparkling colors. This is the JAPANESE full range - thus the Japan Import tag in title and description - so the pens have Japanese writing and some have different color names. The Japanese distributor and Western distributor of the Uni Posca Pens seem to have different colors available in their lines. Here are ALL of the colors available for the PC-3M, with their color codes, different color names, and their distributor: PC-3M in this set: 1 - White - Western and Japanese 2 - Yellow - W/J 3 - Bright Yellow / Yamabuki - W/J 4 - Orange - W/J 5 - Light Green / Yellow Green - W/J 6 - Green - W/J 8 - Light Blue - W/J 12 - Purple / Violet - W/J 13 - Pink / Momo / Peach - W/J 15 - Red - W/J 21 - Brown - W/J 24 - Black - W/J 33 - Blue - W/J 37 - Ash / Gray - W/J 48 - Sky Blue - W/J 51 - Light Pink - W/J 54 - Light Orange - W/J 66 - Coral Pink - W/J P11 - Lavender / Pastel Purple - W/J P2 - Sunshine Yellow / Pastel Yellow - W/J P4 - Apricot / Pastel Orange - W/J P6 - Aqua Green / Pastel Green - W/J 25 - Gold - W/J 26 - Silver - W/J PC-3M NOT in this set: 7 - Khaki Green - W only 9 - Navy Blue - W only 11 - Fuschia - W only 14 - Dark Red - W only 22 - Dark Brown - W only 31 - Emerald Green - W only 34 - Lilac - W only 45 - Beige - W only 46 - Ivory - W only 60 - Red Wine - W only 61 - Slate Gray - W only 72 - Apple Green - W only 42 - Bronze - W only L2 - Sparkling Yellow - W only L4 - Sparkling Orange / Lame Orange - W/J L15 - Sparkling Red / Lame Red - W/J L13 - Sparkling Pink / Lame Pink - W/J L12 - Sparkling Violet / Lame Violet - W/J L33 - Sparkling Blue / Lame Blue - W/J L8 - Sparkling Light Blue / Lame Light Blue - W/J L6 - Sparkling Green / Lame Green - W/J Again, only the Japanese line set minus the lame colors are included here, not all of the PC-3M posca pens available on the market.

Bought these as a gift for my boyfriend who’s an artist. He absolutely loves them, posca are amazing paint markers with a soft and not so harsh nib. Which is great because they wouldn’t shred up the paper. Highly recommend them A+++ Pros: - you don’t have to shake em after every use - very pigments - odorless - last a pretty long time Cons: - some lighter color don’t cover up to well (have to layer)
