The Doloha Direct Ink Soft Tip Metallic Marker Set is a convenient water-based acrylic marker set designed for model kit detailing, touch-up work and custom colour accents. With a soft brush-style tip and direct ink flow system, these markers make it easy to add metallic colour to small parts, raised details and curved surfaces without using a brush, paint tray or airbrush.
For model builders, this set is especially useful for adding metallic highlights to weapons, thrusters, vents, armour panels, inner frames and mechanical details. The soft tip gives better control on small surfaces, while the metallic finish helps create a stronger visual effect than standard flat colours.

Usage Tips
- Shake well before use.
- Test on a spare runner or hidden area before applying to the final part.
- Apply in thin layers and allow each layer to dry before adding another coat.
- Metallic colours may take longer to dry than standard colours.
- For stronger durability, apply a suitable clear top coat after the paint has fully dried.
- Cap the marker promptly after use and store it flat to help maintain even ink flow.
Please note: marker-painted surfaces may be less scratch-resistant than fully cured hobby lacquer or airbrushed paint. For handled parts, moving joints or high-contact areas, a protective top coat is strongly recommended.
