FAQs

What is the primary use for this marker pen?

The primary use is for marking motorsport tyres, but it's also effective on various other surfaces like plastics, metals, and composites.

What is the size of the marker tip?

The marker features a 3mm bullet tip, which allows for precision and control over the paint flow.

Can I use this marker on my car's bodywork?

While it can be used on painted surfaces, it's recommended to test on an inconspicuous area first, as permanence and removal may vary. It is not specifically designed for automotive paint finishes.

How should I store the marker pen?

Store the pen horizontally with the cap securely fastened to prevent the paint from drying out.

What colors are available?

The pens are available in a wide range of colors and are sold individually. A pack of 9 includes one of each color.

How long does the paint last on a tyre?

The paint is designed for durability, but its longevity can depend on factors like tyre cleaning frequency, exposure to weather, and driving conditions.

Is the paint permanent?

The paint offers durable marking. While it adheres well to intended surfaces, its permanence can be affected by aggressive cleaning agents or extreme environmental conditions.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not flowing

Shake the pen vigorously for at least 30 seconds. Prime the tip again by pressing it onto a suitable surface until ink flows. Ensure the cap was sealed properly to prevent drying.

Tip is clogged

Gently wipe the tip with a damp cloth. If paint has dried, try to carefully dislodge it without damaging the tip. Shake the pen again and re-prime.

Marking is faint or uneven

Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Shake the pen thoroughly and re-prime the tip. Apply additional coats if necessary, allowing each coat to dry partially.

Ink is smearing immediately after application

The surface may be too porous or not properly prepared. Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Allow adequate drying time between coats and avoid touching the freshly applied mark.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Precise application due to the 3mm bullet tip.
  • Can be used on a wide variety of surfaces beyond just tires.
  • Durable markings suitable for demanding environments.
  • Available in multiple colors for clear identification.
  • Comfortable to hold and use for detailed tasks.

Cons

  • Ink permanence can be affected by harsh cleaning or extreme weather.
  • May require multiple coats for opaque coverage on very dark surfaces.
  • Sold individually, so purchasing a full set requires multiple purchases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Shake Well: Before the first use and periodically during use, shake the pen vigorously to ensure the paint is thoroughly mixed.
  2. Prime the Tip: Press the bullet tip firmly onto a scrap piece of paper or cardboard for a few seconds until the paint begins to flow.

Compatibility:

  • Primary Surfaces: Motorsport tyres (rubber), plastics, composites, metals.
  • Other Surfaces: Can be tested on wood, glass, and painted surfaces, though permanence may vary.

Care:

  • Storage: Store the pen horizontally with the cap securely fastened to prevent drying out.
  • Cleaning: For best results, clean the surface to be marked before application. For accidental marks on non-target surfaces, wipe immediately with a damp cloth. For dried marks, gentle solvents may be required depending on the surface.
  • Tip Maintenance: If the tip becomes clogged, gently wipe it with a damp cloth. Avoid excessive force.
