We use fluorescent/neon paint pens in our business. The Elmer's brand has bright [except blue], opaque colors that work well on most surfaces, except soft materials & some plastics. On dark surfaces such as metal, we find it best to put a base color of white on first. Then, the fluorescent color on top, which will make it brighter. Unfortunately, the paint pens are very hard to get started. We tried hand shaking brand new ones for three minutes to get the ball bearing rolling inside to mix the paint. It wouldn't roll. Then we dropped them on end from 7 ft/2.3 Meters up, numerous times. Ball was still stuck. Next, we put 20 of them (4 boxes of 5 colors each) in bubble wrap and inside a sealed outer corrugated box. Then, we took the pens to a paint store with a paint shaker machine. After 3 minutes of rapid/violent shaking, the ball bearings were loose. Elmer's should do this for all paint pens they ship to their distributors and dealers. Another note: we've found that the white paint in their other pens tends to dry to an off-white color. It also seems thinner than other brands. Decocolor or Sharpie white paint pens are much better. And, for a fine tip (1.3mm), the Zig Painty pens are favorites. Unfortunately, the extra-fine tip Sharpie paint pens are harder to start and after a click or two, dump a puddle of paint on a surface.

Amazon classifies the pens under "Kitchen." Kind of a strange class for a craft or shop item!

I don't have any problems with the item I purchased it's great. However, I do have a problem with the company that sells it via Amazon.com. They will not ship to Hawaii for some reason incomprehensible to me. It's not like Hawaii is a foreign country...

Honest reviews on Elmer's Painters Opaque Paint Markers, Set of 5 Markers, Neon

I bought 5 packs of these for a craft project to be used on plastic since it says on the box that they can be used on plastic. When I tried them, the paint rubbed right off! I asked for a refund but the company said I was wrong so I sent them a sample of what I was trying to do and they still told me I was wrong. These were money down the toilet. I will not purchase Elmer's products again.
