Yes. They are acrylic paint markers, so the pastels cover dark surfaces rather than soaking in. For the softest, most even colour, let the first coat dry and add a second.

Coverage. A 10mm Wide nib is for letter fills, block letters, chunky outlines, characters and colouring whole panels of a skate deck, a canvas or a pair of sneakers. It does in one stroke what a 3mm marker needs ten for, so your colour stays flat and even instead of stripy.

Shake it well with the cap on until you hear the mixing ball rattle. Then hold it nib down on scrap paper or cardboard and press the wide nib gently a few times until the paint soaks right across it. A wide nib holds more paint, so give it a little more time to fill than a fine marker, and do not pump it hard.

Yes. The ink is UV resistant and waterproof once dry, and Kent rates the range for indoor and outdoor use. For anything that lives outside, like a painted deck, a helmet or a piece on a legal wall, a clear outdoor varnish over the top keeps it fresh for longer.

Yes. The acrylic paint ink is opaque, so it sits on top of black card, dark wood, painted walls and kraft paper instead of sinking in. Light colours on very dark backgrounds may need a second coat once the first is dry for full, solid colour.

Work in one direction with steady, overlapping strokes, keeping the nib flat to the surface. Let the first coat dry, then add a second coat across the first direction if you want it solid. Going back over wet paint drags it and leaves streaks.

Yes. They work on glass, mirrors, bottles and clear acrylic sheet. While the paint is wet it wipes away; once it is fully dry it is permanent, so test on a small corner first and plan your layout before you start.
