Good gold metallic marker / pen for touching up damaged gold plating?

[TomVDJ]

Can somebody recommend me a good brand / type of metallic markers to toch up some minor imperfections on goldplated objects, so they do not stand out that much? I need that 24k gold color. A rather fine tip would be preferred. Thanks for your input!

Nobody with experience with these kind of markers?

Did you try Molotow pens?

 

[TomVDJ]

Nope, didn't use anything yet. First wanted to here some experiences here, or advise. So Molotow pens are good? Looking for a goldplating-like finnish...

I use these:

They make plain chrome too:

They are basically cheaper Molotow knockoffs. I've never seen Molotow gold (just chrome), but I feel these are quite shiny and gold-plating-like. I do use them for touchups!

Thanks! Looks good. I also found these (based on a review of different gold markers, but this was more in an "art and craft" context): https://www.amazon.com.be/-/nl/Saku...8C2S/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8&th=1

Green Stuff World Chrome Metal paint is the only 'chrome' gold I've found that actually works as advertised. I tried one of those gold Molotow knockoffs and couldn't get it to work at all, and even in user photos in the reviews they never look nearly as good as the listing photos try to make you think they will. Green Stuff World paint is the closest gold I've found to actual chrome and is way more durable than Molotow as well. I'd look up Youtube tutorials on how to apply it though, you have to put it on thicker than normal to really get the chrome effect. I was very pleased with how it worked on this cheap Hasbro headpiece:

And if you used an airbrush it'd look even shinier.

Thanks for the info; will try soon (I have a project that requires some gold painting)
