About Paint and Ink Markers
Paint markers work well even on dirty, rusty, wet, and oily surfaces. They leave textured marks you can feel with your hand.
Ink markers work best on a clean, dry surface. Marks dry faster than paint and are smooth to the touch.
Both paint and ink markers are permanent.

Marking Fluids
Stain metal items such as bearings, springs, nuts, and other components. These fluids repel oil, adhere without flaking and scaling, and won’t interfere with part performance.
Opaque fluids conceal the color of the part.
Transparent fluids allow the color of the part to show through and are thinner and dry faster than opaque fluids.
Fluids that cannot be sold to the listed areas exceed local regulatory limits on VOCs (volatile organic compounds).
