At first I did not understand how to make the paint marker to give color of until I discovered that a manual is applied with mini signature directly on the pin. Deciphering was like my little tedious for old eyes. After it went well, I was very satisfied with the quality. Font and lines stand out clearly from the gray lacquer base and does not fray. Even after repeated use with longer pauses between the opacity is consistently good and is not dried up. A clear buy! One star deduction for Mini Font of the instruction manual.
