Comments about Decocolor Acrylic Paint Markers:

I needed paint markers for mixed media work (paintings) and decorative painting (glass, ceramic, etc.). After trying Elmer's, Sakura Permapaque and DecoColor, my top pick is DecoColor!

I tested these markers on ceramic, metal, glass, plastic and on top of (dry) acrylic paintings, and DecoColor was the best in all categories. Great coverage and opacity, and very little, if any, streaking. (All three brands had some degree of streaking, depending on the type of surface.)

Elmer's is my second choice. Good selection in their "sets" and a good value. The coverage is fair on all surfaces, but colors come out more muted than DecoColor.

Permapaque is just terrible: streaky and transparent--even on paper!

Here's a photo of each marker applied on unglazed ceramic.

They add a good dimention to creating mixed media works. They are fluid and have a nice application and texture....This is a very good product.

I own a small ornament business that uses these paint pens to personalize our ornaments... finding them discounted has been wonderful for our bottom line!

Comments about Decocolor Acrylic Paint Markers:

I used these markers for some paintings I was making for my senior exhibition. I had hated the idea of simply using sharpie, because I wanted my final piece to completely be acrylic medium, and not be considered "mixed media."

Overall, I was worried that these markers would dry out, or that they would run out of pigment quickly. They exceeded my expectations by far! --- They last much longer than I had thought, and they stay fresh as long as you keep the cap on them!

The only drawback is the slight glare that is produced on the lines they make in certain lighting conditions. However, some thinned paint on top of the linework fixed that problem.
