Experience a new way of painting with our range of markers.
“What is a refillable paint pen?” …… A paint pen you can refill ? Just a guess.
Thats way to easy lol ….. there must be a catch ….
I want to see a normal person actually refill one without getting paint all over themselves and every nearby surface plus a wandering pet or two.
Yep, it looks as if they’re not “refillable” 'cos they’re not filled in the first place. “Fill 'em yourself” would probably be a more accurate description…

I like the idea. Basically an AK play marker you fill with your own favorite colors and not tied to whatever colors the company wants to give you.
Looks like some of the refillable in the pen world. I think you’d have to use ink vs paint and if so color mixing would be needed to get more shades. A “do it yourself” paint marker others make, but could be good if someone doesn’t make an exact color you need.
now the question is how I decant a whole can of spray paint to put in this
Use aquarium air hose tubing to decant.
So, once it has a color run thru it, is that the color forever? I mean, the tube might be cleanable, but what about the nib? Is it rinseable or can you get a new one cheaply enough to just replace it every time?
I bought a couple of these way before Green Stuff stole the idea and filed a patent on their version. You can’t clean the nib successfully once it is contaminated. They were originally designed for inks and to tell you how great they are I now buy AK pens.
This is kind of on-par with refilling your own printer ink bottles.
I have 3 of these kind of pens bought in a store that focusses on artists. They were really cheap (5 euro a piece?).
I use these for water, micro set and micro sol when i am decalling. works very well.
