MTN Technical Fineliner Marker

As the name indicates, the MTN Technical Fineliner Marker is the ideal tool for outlining or making fine lines. The nib, or tip, is composed of a durable, nylon fiber encased in a chrome, tubular tip that is ideal for getting into extremely tight spaces and crevices. The overall advantage to this specific marker is the wide range of sizes that are available. Spray Planet carries the MTN Technical Fineliner Marker in 5 sizes from smallest to largest: .01; .03; .05; 0.7; and 1.0.

The ink used inside the .01, .03, 0.5, and 0.7 MTN Technical Fineliner Markers is a high-opacity, water-based black ink, which allows for fluid inking on paper and similar substrates. Although the black ink inside these Fineliner markers is extremely opaque, you should know up front that it does not cover well over gold and silver paints/pigments/inks.

However, to make up for the lack of silver coverage in the smaller Fineliner markers, the much broader 1.0 MTN Technical Fineliner Marker comes equipped with Montana Colors’ signature “Silver Killer” formula that is exclusive to the Nitro2G spray paint line. With this “Silver Killer” formula, the user is able to quickly (and cleanly) make marks and strokes over gold and silver inks/paints/pigments without worrying about the black being absorbed. On top of that, the 1.0 MTN Technical Fineliner Marker is also the only size of the MTN Fineliners that is also available in Gold and Silver.

MTN Technical Brush Marker

The MTN Technical Brush Marker comes equipped with a felt, brush tip that is similar in style and application as an actual paint brush. The tip is composed of a flexible, nylon fiber that makes this particular MTN Technical Marker a versatile tool for any artist who is already familiar with a paintbrush. The overall advantage to the brush tip is the ability for the user to achieve different line weights from extremely fine all the way to bolder strokes and everything in between just by the amount of pressure applied during usage. This means you can VERY easily get a wide range of detail work with just a single marker! And to top it off, it contains Montana Colors’ signature “Silver Killer” formula, so painting over silver and gold inks/pigments/paints is no problem!

On top of that, the MTN Technical Calligraphy Marker also contains the “Silver Killer” formula, so it will go right over any gold or silver pigments/inks/paints.
