No I don't have the fancy smancy decal machines. I still hand write on the rod blank. But my previous best paint pen by Crayola is no longer available locally. What other good pens with a sharp point have you guys found to work well? Need white color mostly.

I have yet to find a paint pen that I have been happy with, They leave globs are to fussy or just stop working. I have been using Createx auto air paint reduced down with water and these Nibs they work good ! It took me awhile to find some that write a Super fine line, [www.amazon.com] You just have to have a steady hand. Some use Testors paints but I like the water base Createx paints they clean up well with windex. Next on my bucket list is to try a Epson Lable printer LW400 it prints 4 lines - with white and gold on clear tape. Tight lines Jaa

I think that the best pins are the pen and nib style using India or Acrylic ink to letter the rods.

I generally use "Speed ball " products for my pen and quill needs.

Be safe
