Touch-Up Paint Pens for Metal

Touch up small scratches on metal surfaces with these pens.

Black—Black pens have a beveled abrasive tip to remove rust and clean the surface. They have a roller-ball tip for precision paint application and a brush tip for general use. Once the paint dries, use the foam tip to apply the clear coat included in the pen’s base.

Conformal Coatings

Aerosol

Can

These coatings protect circuit boards and other electronics from moisture, dust, and static. They’re thinner than potting compounds, so they flow into the smallest contours of your components to cover them completely. Apply these coatings without needing a potting box or other container. You can remove them if necessary.

Acrylic Plastic—Acrylic plastic coatings are our thinnest option, so they’re the easiest to apply. They’ll also come off the easiest when you have to rework or repair your component—just use a solvent. These coatings dry in a day or less.

Sprayon—Sprayon acrylic plastic coatings dry in just 30 minutes, the quickest of our conformal coatings. They resist grease, oil, and alkalies. Ideal for metal parts, they prevent rusting. Along with circuit boards, they’re often used on batteries.

Dry-Erase Paint

Turn any surface into a dry-erase board. Spray this paint onto metal, glass, and plastic to create a durable finish that works with most dry-erase markers and cleaners. It can also be used on drywall and other smooth surfaces that are already painted.

Tamper and Vibration Detection Paint

Easily detect vibration or tampering—this paint becomes brittle once dried and cracks from movement. Originally used in the aerospace industry, this paint won’t corrode and adheres to most surfaces, including all types of metal. It’s useful on screws, nuts, and bolts in assemblies with high vibration, such as gearboxes or conveyor lines. Or use it to check for vibration between mated parts, such as pipe fittings and pipe, by applying it directly to both parts.

To speed up drying and curing time, blow hot air on the paint or place the item you’re painting in a warm environment.

Fluorescent—Fluorescent paint is also visible in dark environments and under UV lights. UV lighting makes small cracks easier to spot.

1 min. Time to Harden—Paint that hardens in 1 minute quickly dries to the touch, so you can continue your work without interruption. It fully cures within 24 hours for reduced downtime—most formulas take 10 days to cure.

10 day Time to Cure—Paint that cures in 10 days will achieve 80% of its cure within the first 48 to 72 hours.

Cannot Be Sold To—Paint cannot be sold to the listed areas because it exceeds local regulatory limits on VOCs (volatile organic compounds).

Enclosure Paint

Touch up scratches and wear on your enclosure with paint that matches its color. This acrylic plastic paint has strong adhesion and resists detergent and water—including in washdown environments—as well as abrasion, heat, and alcohol. It sprays evenly onto surfaces, with no need for additional tools such as brushes.

Cannot Be Sold To—Paint cannot be sold to the listed areas due to local regulatory limits on VOCs (volatile organic compounds).
