Listings show traditional permanent ink, alcohol-based markers, acrylic paint pens, and water-based paint markers. Descriptions often note quick-drying properties and water- and fade-resistance for several formulations.
Most paint-marker listings instruct you to shake the pen and press or pump the tip until color flows. Others use a pump-action or press-to-flow mechanism to deliver consistent ink.
Permanent ink markers are typically described as quick-drying and water- and fade-resistant on metal. Water-based paint markers may be permanent on porous surfaces but can be erasable on smooth non-porous metal—so permanence depends on the marker formulation and the surface texture.
Listings commonly cite use on paper, plastic, glass, wood, and fabric in addition to metal; several products are labeled multi-surface.
Many listings describe quick-drying inks that are water-resistant and fade-resistant. Some paint markers note they are permanent on porous surfaces but may be erasable on smooth non-porous materials, so resistance varies by formulation and surface.
