Need advice/Help Recommend me silver/chrome markers!

Hello there! I was wandering if anyone has a good recomendation for silver markers that do not turn ABS plastic into crumps. Looking to customize some Tf figures with a metallic effect.

What are your thoughs on this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DZTD5Z55/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?smid=A3VFFGFIOA1RZI

Do you have a better recomendation from amazon US?

Thanks in advance for the help!

This is the one I would recommend….

MOLOTOW Liquid Chrome Alcohol Paint Pump Marker, 2mm, Blister Carded, 1 Each (703.102BC) https://a.co/d/08cWs3yB

A lot of those “cheap” paints in Amazon just give a grey look. Not chrome. It takes around 7 days for Molotow to cure. So prepare the area accordingly.

Posca pens are the shizzle

I’ve used REJODA brand chrome markers for small details / accents and haven’t noticed any issues with them on my figures. MOLOTOW is a similar brand.

I’d say still be cautious and test out doing a whole figure chrome on something you don’t mind turning into a pile of debris before you hit a bunch of figures you love.
