It's good
It may say gun blue but it is black. A near perfect match on powder coated surfaces not just on guns. Goes on easy and dries fast to a flat black color. If you don't want to go thru and of the chemical blueing processes this is a nice alternative. Read full review

Great Concept, Poor Materials
I purchased this item as I needed to do touch up on metal surfaces on my firearms that were presenting with scratches on the black metal surfaces. After reading the instructions and following them, I opened up the pen to begin work. The felt tip fell out of the pen and I had to reinsert the tip and tried to get the ink to flow. It was to no avail after multiple attempts. Pen was dry as a the desert and then I followed the instructions on what to do when the pen is dry to reanimate the ink/paint. Again NO LUCK! Basically I think it was an old stock piece that needed to have been thrown away instead of being pawned off on eBay to a buyer. Will go back to thin tip paint brushes, or air brushes to apply the ink/paint like originally I had been doing. That’s what I get for trying the easy way. Never Again Birchwood Casey.Read full review

Nicely packaged but weak on features.
This product is a "Sharpie-like" paint pen with a reciprocating tip. Has promise but has problems to overcome. First, it is an extremely expensive way to buy basic flat black paint. The convenience of having it in pen dispenser disappears when it is actually used. The tip is a broad, chisel-shaped hard felt that doesn't apply the paint in a controlled manner. Blobs on and is difficult to apply smoothly. Also, even though I used the "flat" black pen, the paint dried to a shiny almost gloss finish and did NOT match my AR receiver's finish at all. I would avoid this expensive paint system. There is a MUCH better choice that works great, matches ALL parkerized finishes and is very cheap as you by a large spray can of it at about the same price as this pen. The paint can be sprayed on a paper plate or piece of cardboard and a small brush or toothpick is dipped in the spray and then applied. Dries fast and looks and blends in perfectly!! I won't give the brand, but is is a popular "rust-preventative" brand, and is called "High Heat - Withstands up to 1200 degrees". Get flat black and you'll have a lifetime supply of the best "black gun" touch-up refinishing paint available.Read full review

Bluing pen
The product is good if you are using it on an aluminum type metal or plastic, but steel. So it works fine for me and the bow cam that marred, but if you are trying to fix a weapon I recommend a gun smith.Read full review

not a good touch up pen at all
Ordered this touch up pen with great expectations that it would be good to touch up imperfections on my electronic gear. What happens is the paint in the pen gets clogged and it doesn't flow, and when it does flow , it comes out to thick in consistency, which is overkill for a touch up. I've had better results using a Sharpie black marker. the thick conisistency of the paint is a huge problem, it also causes the pen to clump up. Just horrible, don't bother wasting your money on this.Read full review

It works, but wont give you a factory finish
For small blemishes I'd recommend leaving it as is, even the flat black doesn't accurately match the factory finish on most milspec receivers. This pen will leave a slightly different, more reflective black. That being said, while it will be noticeable with good lighting or in a reflective environment it wont be as noticeable in a more dimly lit room or when looking at an angle. For small blemishes I'd hold off on this pen, for for deeper marks that expose what you might consider to be a distracting amount of uncovered aluminum you might consider this pen. Easy to use, cheap, effective to a point. Read full review

Best of the best touch up.
Surprisingly works great. I'm so so so happy for the result, I could not even find the previous scratch that i had. It matches with the original color of black mat or flat finish. Save you money, time and makes it like, look new again. Can't tell you had scratches before, highly recommend.Read full review

Not for a large project !
I " personally " feel that this product may be good for touching up some small dings. But I was trying to touch up some scratches on a " Flat Black AR-15 Lower ".
Seems like even with the felt applicator it went on just like an ordinary paint. I also got the same results from brushing on Rust-Oleum Flat Black paint.
As I originally stated, it may be a good product for touch up just a small scratch or ding. Read full review

Perfect for the iPhone 5 black
I bought this pen after reading other reviews on the 'net. This pen is easy to use and matches most flat black surfaces. I've used the pen on my daughters black iPhone 5 and it matched perfectly. And if you need it, they have a gloss pen as well :)Read full review

Gun Black Touch-up
Pen is OK for touch-up once you get it flowing properly. It has a push-down pump action felt tip that needs to be continually pumped to get the liquid flowing. It does cover the areas once the liquid flows.Read full review
