Pen for detailing

[trev82 202]

Hey, 

What pens do you recommend for hard body detailing, such as window frames, door handles, even work on driver figure.  Black and silver be the main options required 

 

Thanks 😊

Posca or Gundam markers. Depending on if you want safe paint or toxic paint.

fwiw. you're probably better off buying a set of fine brushes, and using those little pots of acrylic paint (Tamiya, Humbrol etc) - not only will you get a more control with line width and paint volume, but you can also mix colours and adjust the thickness/viscocity of the paint with water - better for detailing fine moulded details.

Note if you plan to paint window frame and rubbers, use this trick - makes it very easy to get a sharp edge:

photo. mask the whole windscreen, then cut out the tape around the edge of the rubber with an x-acto knife...

photo. simply paint on your chosen finish (note Tamiya XF-85 'Rubber Black' is perfect for window surrounds to replicate actual rubber, rather than using plain satin or flat black) - and once dry, peel off the tape to reveal a sharp line.

Hope that helps!
