Has anyone used Inline Paint Chrome Pens?

Sounds like it might be exactly the same a Molotow pen. Even the same price. 

Hopefully something a little more durable ( not that the Molotow is weak , it's just not a handle-or-touch-it-a-bunch-of-times finish ) . I ordered one just for giggles ; I'll test it upon its arrival .

I've pretty much replaced my Molotow pen with this. It looks at least 90-95% as good as Molotow, dries much faster (one hour), and is more durable. AND it costs a third as much. I've bought mine at Walmart. They haven't had them for a few weeks but I bought at least 3 when they had them, and next time they're in, I'll buy a couple more. 

Not only have I done window trim with it, I've done large chrome body trim, bumper touchup, and wheel touchup. Good stuff!

And with the DecoColor one Snake mentioned, DON'T forget to shake the pen to mix the ink before you use it the first time - I made that goof and it never worked right after that; got clear carrier from the tip and the silver pigment wouldn't draw through enough to cover anything.

According to the website, one of the two Wal-Marts near me has this in stock. What part of the store do you find it in? Crafts?

Dunno, haven't tried either thing. I've been quite happy with the results using it exactly as advertised. B)

I learned my lesson about 30 years ago about trying to shoot clearcoat over any kind of silver/chrome paint. I won't be trying it again. :angry:
