Has anyone else used these paint pens? I have recently picked one up that has a 1 mm tip at Hobby Lobby and I find it a dream when it comes to highlighting worn (read: polished) metal areas or picking out small details. I'm impressed so much I'm looking into getting other colors for picking out details in cockpits and such.
Has anyone else had failures or successes? I kinda want some feedback before I shell out mucho dinero for a set of them.

Yes. Great successes! I am sold on the thing. Great for small parts and areas that seem like a lot of work to crank up the airbrush for Alclad and clean up afterwards. There is a new product like the chrome pen that is in a bottle for brushing. One of my modeling friends has picked up a bottle, but I have not seen the results yet. Many of my modeling friends have started using the pens, especially the car guys, for window moldings and areas like that. They, too, love their pens.

Yes, me too.
I think the first FSM member to try them was Mustang Joe. That's who enticed me to buy mine, anyway.
I think good 'ol Model Master enamel Chrome (now labeled 'Silver', I think) was the old go to. Like Don said, more folk seem to be turning to the Molotow chrome pens for ease of use.
I picked up a 1mm one as well to do the mirrors and trim on a Jeep model, so far I like it very well, Hobby Lobby carries the chrome in my area, and not too bad with the 40% coupon.
Is also perfect for the oleos on landing gear on aircraft.
I have a full set of the pens/markers and in my opinion they are great I have taken a break from armor and I am working on some show rods and they come in handy after scraping off chrome parts for glueing
Success. My primary use is to touch the spots of the chrome parts that were cut from the sprue. I've also "painted" headlight backings.

Do you have different colors? How have the colors been in comparison to the liquid chrome? Any advice for overcoats or bad reactions to other paints?
