Hey guys! I was wondering what kind of paint markers you use because I wanna start using them to get my figures signed.
Regards

DecoColor
I started off with Sharpie paint markers, then tried DecoColor. I was suggested to try Prisma, but didn't like them as much as DecoColor. And just a suggestion, while silver paint markers look cool, they don't look as cool from a distance. Brighter colors are better, like yellow, sky blue, pink, red, white, etc.

Brighter colors are better, like yellow, sky blue, pink, red, white, etc. I agree with the colors 100%. Gold is ok. Looks good up close, but IDK if I like it all that much. Honestly, my favorites have been Blue and a Light Purple/Pink. Thinking of trying green one dya. Probably should have done it for Becky Lynch's figure instead of blue.

I tried to use gold a few times with Million $ Man and Cody Rhodes, both messed up. I'll never use gold again.

They aren't cheap, and for me, hard to come by as I don't have an extensive art supply store in my city, and Hobby Lobby only sells the Fine Point markers and I usually use the Broad tip markers. So whenever I go to a city where there is one, I always stop in and get a coupe of fresh markers for future use. Or if I need one for a last minute signing, I'll get one off ebay.

Yea a 5-6 pack is $17.99 at Michaels. Luckily they had a 40% off coupon for today. I wish they sold them individual (in stores) as all I need was a neon pink for Bret Hart's auto.

The Michael's in my location sells the metallic DecoColor markers, not just the opaque markers I always use, so I have to still order online or wait until I go out of town to buy them locally.

I’ve only used the Sharpie ones but with the high recommendations of Deco I might have to give them a try.

I started with Sharpie paint markers, but when I started seeing them provide iffy results, someone suggested DecoColor to me, and while I did try Primsa for a minute, I quickly went back to DecoColor and haven't gone back since. Plus, if you order from DecoColor's website, they can be fairly inexpensive if you order a couple of markers.

Sharpie paint markers look nice on the plastic window of a MOC figure and Deco Paint Markers look nice on cardboard/other things. It's what I seem to notice when I get autographs although the Red Deco Marker seems to always suck compared to other colors, I'd go with Red Sharpie Paint Marker instead.

Yeah, I haven't had the best luck with red board point DecoColor paint markers. I stopped using red for that reason, but also because it doesn't pop as much as other colors. I mainly just now use yellow and white. For some I'll use light blue or pink, or if the person signing something for me suggests another color, like Jerry Lawler suggested red, so I trusted him and his red came out great, and Mick Foley suggested blue on a figure of his instead of my yellow and came out great, too.
