The LET’S RESIN 12 Colors Acrylic Paint Markers are a set of paint pens designed for a variety of craft surfaces, including resin projects, rocks, canvas, glass, and more. These markers come with three interchangeable tips—fine, medium, and brush—which add some flexibility for different line widths and applications. After testing them on several materials, I found they perform reasonably well for their price point, though there are some trade-offs to consider.
One of the first things you notice is the three-tip system. Each marker includes a cap that stores two extra tips, so you can switch between a 1mm fine point, a 3mm medium bullet tip, and a brush tip. This is handy if you’re working on a mixed-media piece and need to go from detailed lines to broader strokes. However, swapping tips can be a bit messy if the paint hasn’t dried fully inside the cap, and you may need to clean them occasionally to avoid clogging.
The paint quality is decent for general crafting. The colors are vibrant and opaque, especially on lighter surfaces like white canvas or light-colored resin. On darker surfaces, such as black stone or dark glass, you’ll likely need two coats for full coverage. The paint dries to a semi-gloss finish and adheres well to non-porous materials like glass and resin, but it can scratch off if you apply heavy pressure or if the surface isn’t prepped. For porous surfaces like canvas or wood, the markers work smoothly and soak in nicely.
In real-world use, these markers are best for small to medium-sized projects. I used them to add details to resin coasters and to write on smooth river rocks. The flow is generally consistent, but you need to prime the markers by shaking them and pressing the tip down on scrap paper until the paint starts flowing. This step is crucial and can take a few seconds per marker. Once flowing, the paint lays down evenly, but if you pause for more than a minute, the tip may dry out slightly, requiring a quick re-prime.
A limitation worth noting is the color range. Twelve colors cover the basics—red, blue, yellow, green, black, white, etc.—but you won’t get pastels or earth tones. If you’re a mixed-media artist who needs a broader palette, you’ll need to buy multiple sets or supplement with other paint pens. Additionally, the caps can be difficult to remove when the paint has dried around the rim, so it’s important to clean the threads after each use.
Compared to generic water-based paint pens or even some oil-based paint markers, these acrylic markers offer better versatility for crafters who switch between surfaces. Water-based markers often struggle on glass or resin, while oil-based ones can be too permanent and smelly. The LET’S RESIN set strikes a middle ground: it’s water-based but includes a binder that helps it stick to non-porous materials. That said, they are not as durable as enamel-based markers for outdoor use, and the paint can fade if exposed to direct sunlight for long periods.
These markers are suitable for hobbyists, DIY enthusiasts, and crafters who work with resin, rocks, glass, or canvas and want a single set that can handle multiple surfaces. They are also good for beginners because they are relatively forgiving—mistakes can be wiped off with a damp cloth if caught quickly. However, they are not ideal for professional artists who need high lightfastness or extremely fine detail work, as the fine tip is still a bit thick for intricate lines. They also won’t replace dedicated calligraphy pens for brush lettering, as the brush tip is stiff and doesn’t flex much.
Overall, the LET’S RESIN 12 Colors Acrylic Paint Markers are a practical option for everyday crafting. They do what they promise without over-delivering. The three tips add value, but the limited color selection and occasional priming issues keep them from being a top-tier choice. If you’re looking for an affordable set to experiment with different surfaces, these are worth a try. Just keep expectations realistic about longevity and color depth.
