Sharpie39109PP Metallic Permanent Markers, Fine Point, Silver, 4 Count

I don't normally write reviews for magic markers but I am for this one only because of the following:For years I've been trying to figure out why magic marker companies like Sharpie don't offer the color white. Why white, well because like you, I've had many black items which I needed to write information on. And I'm too lazy to use a label maker. Besides, there are certain things that labels will lose their adhesion on. Example: Certain components in the engine compartment of your vehicle. Another example would be tires. The list is endless.I've read info. online that indicates that due to the pigment properties of the color white the manufacturers cannot make a white marker which would be useable.About 10 yrs. ago I called Sharpie's cust. service folks and asked why they don't make a white marker and the agent said, "You know what? That's a very good question. I'll look into this and get back to you. Never heard a thing from them.Anyway this silver metallic marker is the next best thing to white. I have been marking and labeling a lot of black items and it works great. It doesn't smear or fade out.

Gives a nice silvery sheen.

I use these at work to write on black plastic. The ink stands out well and lasts unless rubbed for long periods of time.

Made well and good price

We use these markers to mark food storage containers. Work great.

I always need to carry something with which I can write on black plastic surfaces. I've tried the white paint pens, but they seem to dry out on me. So do these sharpies, but they are easier to use - don't have to shake and then wait. I just wish there was a pocket clip on the top like other sharpies (ie, they tend to fall out of my pocket when I bend over. That and the tendency to dry out quickly is why I took off a star). The other metallic colors rate the same and I uses the other metallic colors interchangeably.

Received my package in excellent condition and undamaged

Great visibility on dark surfaces
