Where to find Bronze colored paint pens | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

JdevleerjrOGR Forum Member

I am repainting my reproduction builders plates from the 1225 and I need some bronze colored paint pens. The last set I did I used gold color and it looked good but I want bronze to make it look more authentic. I can not find any except some fine tips ones. I need some medium or chisel tip ones to do the letters. Anyone know of a place to find them?

I have checked Michaels, Joanne Fabrics, Wal-mart, and Amazon. I am running out of luck and might have to go gold again.

Try some of the auto parts stores, O'Reilly's, AutoZone etc... I know they sell those types of products but I'm not sure if they'll have your color.

Try an art or architecture supply store. Such as Dick Blick.

Copper color might work better than gold.

Sharpie markers work great. There is a bronze, gold and silver 3 pc. set sold in Walmart.

Thanks

I ordered the Sharpie ones. It seems they only come in fine tip for the bronze color. Hopefully it will work.

Hobby Lobby also has a fair selection of paint pens in metallic colors.

Jim, In downtown Cincinnati on Vine Street is Suder's Art Supply. 513-241-0800. If they don't have it, you don't need it. John in Lansing, ILL
