anybody know where the heck to get one of these buggers?! i have checked a bunch of places for them and found, in some cases, decoart paint, but no paint pens. where have y’all found yours? i had wanted to touch up my older pieces but now i got my ruby lap today from grandio and (i hate to say it) it has some sloppy gold detailing that needs real help! i honestly might even need ruby paint to cover up the gold that got brushed/dropped onto the scales n feet, ( i know bottles of touchup paint are sent out to some folks for certain situations) but i’m not sure if i’d be able to get ruby touch up paint as it was different from their normal paint right? who would i talk to for that? i REALLY love the magic sealant they use to try to take the sharpness out of the very matte, gritty areas (its more matte than my black gold lap)…
in general its amazing how each paint job varies; my ruby scratcher is pure perfection everywhere and very shiny like a new sports car, but my lap is funny, almost like it didn’t even get sealant in some places, with a real grit to it and then the biff ups in the gold detailing…well, everyones human. input is super duper welcome!!Aaron Brothers Art carries them, Michaels should have them, or any art supply store. If they don’t, tell them to fix themselves…LoL
I got mine at ACMoore (Micheal’s had them too). I think they were in the aisle with colored pencils and other markers. They had there own little rack and were sold individually. My pen says DecoColor Liquid Gold Opaque Paint Marker on them. I remember them coming in Extra Fine (the outside of the marker was white but the cap gold), Fine (gold marker, gold cap), and Medium (gold/gold) (maybe larger sizes as well, can’t remember). But they also had all the other colors as well just with different cap and marker colors.
hmm. very mysterious. i’m not dummy when it comes to this stuff., but this little pen is a tuffy! i checked pearl paint, dick blick and michaels (in person), to no avail. i was really surprised at that!! at michaels they where total dunces as usual, i spoke to the manager at the ignorance or their employees actually- one of theirs instructed a customer totally unfamiliar with the world of clays to mix water to sculpey to make it more pliable and to be sure to wrap up oil based clay as it will dry out quickly if it is left out! she said you could leave water based clay out as long as you like though! lol! i butted in and instructed to customer correctly of course. like, duh!!!!!
anyhoo, there i did see the decocolor brand pen, i DID find that, but i was a little hesitant as i wasn’t sure if was the REAL thing. i know melody and dragonfeathers stated before to use the medium point, as the fine ones drip. is it really the same thing? i look to go to an art school store where i think i should be able to get it this weekend, as they have a good selection of stuff, but i figged i would ask here just to make sure i wasn’t losing my gourd!I think the DecoColor Liquid Gold Opaque Paint Marker I mentioned is the ones Windstone uses for gold accents. I’ve used it to touch up my Windstones’ gold accents and the color matches PERFECTLY. Way back when, in a thread long dead, someone posted a picture to the ones used by Windstone. I can’t find that thread again, but the ones pictured are the ones I bought (maybe I’ll look and see if I can find the thread again).
Yup, Lokie, that’s one one that was recommended by Melody and it works great. I purchased mine at Michael’s, too.

stupenderific! i just wanted be totally sure! phew! oh boy now i have totally ants in the pants to go get it, but they closed our roads in and out of town due to flooding from our rainy day here! lol! oohh i’m all kinds of excited now!! thank you thank you! (does happy dance and trips on dog)
Do you mean the gold leafing pens? I found them here in walmart for 5 bucks each in the house painting area. They had the gold, silver and copper ones.
i know what you mean about ruby dragon with rough, my ruby ow (from factory) has alot of rough patches too. i guess it’s just production i wasn’t sure anything could be done for it. it was the first o/w i got so i expected them all to be that way esp with how rough the b/g matte lap i got was, but i’d never had a ruby or o/w before
wow!!!! ouch THAT was my worry RIGHT there! ok, i recently decided i want a ruby ow cuz i love the ruby, like i said my scratcher was pure perfection.i was hunting around for a ow in shops to get a better deal, but then i thought better of it, saying to myself i know this color varies ALOT, from a pinky red to deep blood red. i figured i would have the best shot at getting a deep colored one with no matte spots from the factory directly and pay more to assure that, but boy i would hate to pay big $$ and still have him be gritty!! eep! they are good peeps though, i’m sure i could specify a good shiny one or maybe return it if it was super duper gritty. thank you for raising the flag on that! its a big investment so i want to be sure of what i’m doing!!!
