Best paint pens on the market.
“These pens are amazing. Exactly what I needed to make my paintings pop. I have been using them to paint in all the finer details of a series I’m doing showcasing the heritage houses on Launceston. They are clear, bright, reliable and I love the interchangeable nib allowing me to change the thickness of the line. Highly recommend them.”

“Fantastic paint pens. Definitely give other brands a run for their money! … they give a broad and even coverage in a couple of strokes! The matt finish is flawless. Writes on most surfaces with ease.”

Get your creativity going
“Excellent paint markers. They get you creating and thinking of all the ideas without the fuss of getting out a heap of equipment. I couldn’t stop, I painted rocks then had to get ideas online as I didn’t want to stop. Then I painted a chair and then shoes then my iPad cover….”

I honestly love adding details to my creations with pens and these are THE BEST!

Quality and paint flow from tip is amazing! I would love to see full colour fine tip boxes for us artists not doing murals but are chasing the same vibrancy on canvas.

I had a lot of fun!

I Love the storage case, I can fit the whole color range in it to take with me anywhere. The extras that come with the case are very useful. The water pen is easy to use and great for blending the SurfPaints.
M
I had not used these very much in my artwork for a while, but once I started using them, I am hooked on the extra depth of detail that I achieve in each piece when using them.
So very happy with my purchases.
B
These paints are fantastic for my wall Mural I’m about conquer for the first time.
I’ve used these before and they do not fade and are UV protection for walls.
I love them.

Purchesed this pen for a project. I was very satisfied, and the project looked amazing. Easy to use and cleaned off the marble with fantastic results. I would definitely recommend and use again. Thank you Danny
K
Great pens, I particularly like the fine nibs, they worked perfectly on my scuba tank
G
This was my first purchase of Surfpaints, and I bought them on the strength of the reviews I read. It is therefore my pleasure to say that I am more than delighted with Surfpaints pens. They have excellent opacity, great even flow, blend beautifully - both with a brush and pen to pen. I’ve so far used them on plastic, ceramics, wood, paper and metal. Metal was the only not so successful application; I will try again with better prep. Everything else just sits and won’t rub off, a total bonus for me when I create jewelry pieces.
These will be it for me from now on!
M
Very nice product! Just wish they were a little bigger - capacity and tip size, that is. Otherwise, the application and colors are great!
M
What an amazing paint pens. It doesn't matter if you are pro or not, these pens will show you like an artist. If you want to draw something to your board, this one is the only address
K
Excellent coverage and long lasting! I love them.
R
Love my Surf pens have purchased more and will continue to do so in future.
They have excellent coverage and colours.
Other pens have been thinner and the flow inconsistent out of the pen leaving blobs .Thank you Surf pens
J
Love the beautiful colours and how robust pens are.
K
These pens are quite good. The coverage is great and for most part they flowed smoothly, however I I’ve had two incidents of Colour flooding onto a project and ruining the effect I was after.

Still unsure? Chat with us or email support@surfpaints.com.
