Super Black Touch Up Pen Flat

This product does what it advertises, and does it well. I have a Windham Weaponry HBC AR-15 with a flat black anodized finish(like most AR-15s have) that started to get some dings and scratches from use, such as a silver spot on the brass deflector from brass being ejected. I bought Birchwood Casey's "Aluminum Black" product, but it didn't quite work out because it caused a chemical reaction that "kind of" turned the aluminum black, but didn't actually apply a new finish to protect the metal, plus the coloring didn't really take well. This is basically a sharpie marker that applies a fresh coat of flat black finish to gun metal. If you get up close you can tell that it's there, but it blends in pretty well and covers up those nasty silver spots to protect your metal from the elements. I've used it on the brass deflector, the dust cover, and even the flash suppressor with good results. It does take a minute when you first start using it to get the paint to flow. You have to take out some scratch paper and press in on the felt tip 4 or 5 times and then hold it to get the paint to start flowing. Other than that though, I'm very pleased with this product and it has made a worthy addition to my gun cabinet.

It kinda leaves a mark, but it makes the job done.

If your a gun guy or girl you need this , I have a couple new babies I bought over the last couple months, well one I custom built which is a beautiful side charge M4 AR rifle and when ordering and storing all the parts and accessories some things got a couple small nicks or scuffs and other blemishes in the anodized finish on the upper and lower receivers and other parts and accessories.I used an ACOG I've had for a couple years on another rifle to put on the new build so it has some wear and imperfections to the finish too so I ordered this paint pen and once it got here I primed the tip and started on the adjuster caps on the ACOG since they are small and the finish gets chipped and scuffed up and other blemishes to the finish so I started there and it made the caps look like new again so I went and painted the rest of the small chips and it also did a great job so I started on the receivers and same thing it blended nice and filled the little dips from the missing paint chips. So when I finished you couldn't see where I used the paint pen to fix up the finish on the ACOG and the new AR and it looks as new as it should with it only being a couple months old... I also got a new 1911 for my birthday in June, one I've been trying to get my hands on since they were released by Sig Sauer, it's a Sig Nitron 1911 from the custom shop with the Zombie themed limited edition finish and custom Houge Zombie grips. I took it out shooting and used a Blackhawk serpa holster and when I got it home it had a few nicks from casings hitting the ejection port and a couple other very tiny wear marks on the slide where it rides on the lower frame rails so I figured what the heck so I used this pen on the Nitron finish and it's a perfect match and dried real fast to where again I couldn't tell where I repaired the paint on her so now my new AR and my Sig Custom Shop Limited Edition Zombie 1911 looks all nice and new again so I'm pretty impressed with this paint pen.. One thing you'll run into with paint pens even if you make sure the cap is on tight is it drying out and no longer working as it should, and typically you toss them in the garbage when this happens but the instructions tell you how to fix this if it happens to your pen, you simply and easily pull out the tip and soak it in a little paint thinner and your back in business. I hope this doesn't happen but if it does I have paint thinner already so I'll be good to go. I own quite a few firearms and if you use them at all there's going to be nicks and scratches and other damage to your finishes, even with safe queens so it's a good idea to keep one of these in your gun case or cleaning kit for when you clean your guns which is when you notice most problems with your guns finish so I'll keep mine in my cleaning and maintenance kit that way it's always where I need it when I need it. I would definitely recomend this to anyone with firearms that have anodized or other black finishes to keep them looking nice and pretty for a long long time BC

This is a great product from Birchwood Casey. I used this pen to touch up the rail on my Stag-15 upper. The paint color is flat black, and it didn't match the finish on my rifle perfectly, but it's close enough. It's better than bare aluminum. This touch up pen is meant for black anodized aluminum, but I also touched up the steel barrel. I noticed that if I buffed out the dried paint on the steel barrel with a cotton cloth the paint finish went from flat to gloss, and it darkened too. It looks good. Buffing didn't have the same effect on the anodized aluminum upper. I highly recommend this product.

Biggest piece of junk I've ever bought from amazon. Thank God I was only scammed out of about 7 bucks and shame on you birchwood for ripping people off. When you first activate the tip after shaking by pressing down on it to release paint, a massive blob just comes out soaking everything in tons of dripping paint. I spent 30 minutes cleaning my hands and getting it out of my clothes. I am extremely dissatisfied with this. The tip inevitably gets so wet once the pen is activated that is just puts big black smears or blobs on whatever little part you're trying to touch up. It actually looks better to leave the scratches. The blobs dry like standing blobs or streaks that you can see above the level of your original finish. Much better just using a crappy old sharpie. Oh and I also got this trash on my carpet when it came rushing out the tip like niagra falls. Honestly, this has been such a pain I feel a sharp level of hate towards birchwood casey and will absolutely never put another dime in their criminal pockets.

It was pretty hard to get the paint to actually flow out into the applicator; I was beginning to think it had hardened up. But eventually it worked, and did a pretty good job at covering up a few tiny dings in the grey-black parked finish of my gun. How it would be on a larger area I don't know - probably OK if the finish was very black, less so if it was more grey-ish. In any event, the gun looked better after I used it than it did before, so that's what counts.

Tardó un poco, pero llegó perfecto. El articulo es justo lo que pedí, y e vendedor me dio asesoría. Volvería a comprar con el.

When I ordered this I was not sure if I was going to get it, but it came quick and with no issues.

works

It works as advertised!!! Used this with a few firearms to get rid of minor scratches. Blends almost perfectly with the original coating.

I bought this to touch up some minor scuffs on a Sig pistol. The flat black colour is great and matches well. However, after a short period of time, the paint rubs off. Good for ftouching up display items. Not so great for hard use items.
