MOLOTOW Liquid Chrome Pump Marker Pen - 1mm Nib 703.101

Easy to pecans good quality paint pen, great for painting lights, mirrors and wheels on my model coaches

I recently tried the MOLOTOW Liquid Chrome Pump Marker Pen, and it’s been a fantastic addition to my collection of art supplies. The 1mm nib provides excellent precision, making it perfect for fine details and adding a touch of metallic shine to my projects. The liquid chrome effect is absolutely stunning – it’s reflective and gives a mirror-like finish that really stands out. The pump-action marker is easy to use, and the ink flows smoothly, creating consistent coverage without any streaks. I’ve used it on a variety of surfaces, including paper and metal, and it works well on both. The only small downside is that it can be a bit tricky to get the perfect flow at first, but once you get the hang of the pump mechanism, it’s easy to control. Overall, I highly recommend this marker for anyone looking for vibrant, high-quality chrome effects in their artwork or craft projects!

Amazing pen once you've experimented with it on different materials and textures. Do be aware, on normal paper or card, you won't get a mirror sheen like you've probably seen in videos; however on certain surfaces that don't absorb the ink, such as wax, tracing paper, plastic etc you'll get the mirror finish. So If you do want it on normal paper, put down a coat of nail varnish or something like that. Either way, for a silver pen, I'm very happy with it! Considering it's £2 more than say, a similar pilot metallic pen, but turns super shiny on surfaces, I'd definitely it's worth getting at least 1 to try for yourself!

For years and years, I've wanted to find a really good way to fix up toys whose chrome / vac-metal finish had worn off over the decades. And then I found some YouTube reviews that featured these Molotow Liquid Chrome Pens (they come in various handy sizes), so I bought a couple of them to try them out. Wow! The YouTube videos don't really do this product justice. You get a decent idea of the end results in the videos, but they're so much better in person. Having tried to photograph some of my own finished projects, it IS rather hard to get good pictures of how well these Molotow Liquid Chrome Pens work. After giving the pens a good shake and spotting the nibs a couple of times, the "liquid chrome" flows nicely. I've never used a paint pen before, but with a little practice, I soon get the hang of it. With a slow, steady hand, you can get excellent, smooth coverage with the paint. Once you've finished painting, leave the project to dry for three to seven days (depending on the thickness of the coat you just put on), and you'll find the finish is nicely set. If you try to handle the newly-painted surface before then, it can smudge horribly and mar the effect. You can also open the pens up and tip the paint into an airbrush (if you have one) for smoother, faster, and more even coverage. You'll need a little practice and patience with these at first, but once you get the hang of them, they really do an amazing job of replicating ultra-shiny chrome / vac-metal finishes. Highly recommended for model-makers, toy customisers, or for people who just want to restore their old Death Star Droid or add some zazz to a project.

Had a small chip on my chrome kitchen tap. this pen did the job of hiding mark with it's liquid chrome ink. Very good product for this type of problem

This stuff really does resemble chrome, perfect for modelling for instance the Tamiya range of 1/12 motorcycles or cars have a lot of chrome parts and there will always be noticeable marks where these parts fit together or sometimes the chrome finish they supply is just not quite right. This stuff can be thinned with paint thinners , I use Vallejo and it can then be sprayed with a small airbrush like any modelling paints, just push the nib into a mixing cup and pump it up and down a few times and then add a few drops of thinner. This paint is actually so good and self levelling that some parts can be brush painted and it leaves no brush marks, you can use it straight from the pen or thin it a bit if required, I brush painted the wheels on a Tamiya 1/12 Z750 and the wheels really do look like chromed steel. The results truly look like real chrome and it seems to fairly hard wearing, nothing I have used it on have chipped, worn or gone dull. I am sure this has many uses for many arts and crafts but it certainly is the best stuff I have ever seen at replicating chrome on models.

Amazing product!!! 😀 Genuinely unbelievable how good the mirror effect is. Not too hard to get used too using either once you get going. Great value for money as well!

This pen has a wide use of purposes in Arts and Crafts, but I purchased it for a different reason. My elderly relatives and I struggled with reading the numbers on our credit and bank cards for when making online purchases, due to the numbers wearing off over time through use and storage in wallets/purses. For me, this was an issue when using the "scan card" function to input the payment details that some sites use these days (including Amazon and Apple Pay). So, before helping the relatives, I thought I'd give it a go on a couple of my dark credit and debit cards to bring the numbers back. Safe to say, this pen did a great job and is practically identical in color to the original paint/ink used on new cards. It's helped easily identify the numbers and expiry dates on the cards, so it's done the job we wanted of it. Obviously I won't be providing a photo, but you can take my word for it! I guess that's just another example of how versatile this kind of product can be!

Le rendu est absolument parfait ! Un vrai aspect chrome qui reste brillant avec le temps . Utilisé pour refaire un liseré dans une voiture ancienne , résultat bluffant.

El marcador hace su función muy bien, si da el efecto de haber sido cromada la pieza. Yo lo use para pintar plástico y en algunas partes pase varias veces el marcador para que pintara mejor.

AMAZING Pen! I'm VERY Satisfied with this product. The Chrome ink adheres to my model cars perfectly which let's me add the details I want. I have tried other products but they definitely don't compare to the shine and smoothness of this Liquid Chrome. The "ink" flows smoothly which makes it easy to apply to anything. It adheres to metal and plastic with no problem. I'm getting more of these pens now that I know it's quality. I would recommend it to anyone, whether it's for art, car models, Gundams, and any other kits. It's great!

I used it to correct the chrome on a plastic part of a desk lamp. The resulted chromed looks like the original.

This will get your toys looking ALMOST as good as new. If you don't want to work with expensive, dangerous chemicals, this is so far your best bet that I've found for small chrome style projects... I bought this pen after careful research and looking for ages for an affordable solution to restoring "silver chrome" surfaces to old toys (in this case, some heavily worn vintage Kenner "R2-D2" Star Wars figures). As many others online have suggested, after covering a generous surface of the plastic toy, I left it untouched on a shelf in the open air for 1 week (actually 8 days) before handling. It retained its shiny, mirror-reflective surface (far superior to the mere "silver" spray paint, acrylic paint and paint markers out there that don't look like chrome). It's not 100% perfect, the actual aluminum coating on "chrome toys" is somewhat shinier and brighter and I expect has a harder coat, being bonded directly to the plastic in most cases. I took the advice of others in working quickly, not touching the clean & dried surface while working, and not applying a second coat while it was drying. Over 1 week later, I can touch it (with clean hands) and it doesn't immediately dull as others have indicated happens if you touch it before 1 week. Overall it works pretty well. I would recommend though that the surface underneath should be as clean and paint-free as possible before you begin. I had previously painted one of these figures myself and while the reflective "chrome" coat looks beautiful, you can see the imperfections from my earlier brush strokes underneath. Now I only wish there were other versions of this, say in GOLD (then I could touch up C3PO!). I see others have tried "mixing" this chrome pen with acrylic paints to get other colors but the results have all been dull, in which case you might as well just use some gold acrylic paint, as you immediately lose the chrome effect. I have not tried applying a clear coat, as I'm told most clear coats dull the chrome effect. Update: I have had it recommended to me to use "Liquitex professional high gloss varnish" as a clear coat AFTER the liquid chrome has completely cured. I acquired a jar of this varnish (it was quite expensive, $18 for an 8 oz bottle at my local Hobby Lobby store) but have not yet attempted to see how it looks. The bottle says it is "permanent" so I will probably test it on a piece of plastic scrap at some point and post results, which of course will take more than a week to complete!
