posca PC-5M Water-Based Paint Markers, Reversible Medium Tip 1.8–2.5mm — Deep Grey 3-Pack, Opaque Quick-Dry

The POSCA PC-5M is a reversible, water-based medium-tip paint marker that delivers opaque, quick-drying colour on more than 50 surfaces.

Engineered for artists, makers and decorators, the POSCA PC-5M combines a stable 1.8–2.5 mm reversible bullet tip with a water-based, highly pigmented ink that lays down vivid, opaque lines on porous materials and can be removed from many smooth surfaces. This three-pack in Deep Grey is a versatile choice for outlining, filling, lettering and surface customization indoors or out.

How durable and versatile is the ink for different projects?

The POSCA water-based formula bonds permanently to porous surfaces like paper, wood and fabric while remaining removable from most smooth, non-porous surfaces such as glass and metal when wiped. It dries quickly and resists smudging once set, making it dependable for layered work and outdoor pieces.

• Permanent on wood, paper, fabric and other porous materials
• Often erasable on glass, ceramics and some plastics with a damp cloth or solvent
• Quick-dry finish minimizes smearing during multi-layer techniques
• Suitable for indoor and outdoor use when fully dry

What kinds of marks and effects can I make with the reversible medium tip?

The reversible bullet tip gives you two useful widths in a single marker: a solid broad stroke for filling and a more precise edge for controlled lines. Artists use the PC-5M for bold colour fills, clean outlines, hand-lettering and fine-detail accents in mixed-media pieces.

• 1.8–2.5 mm tip handles both fills and mid-weight lines
• Bullet shape provides steady control for lettering and edging
• Reversible tip lets you switch stroke width without changing tools
• Opaque pigment blends well for layered and gradient effects

How should I use and care for POSCA PC-5M markers to get the best results?

Shake the marker with the cap on before use to distribute pigment, pump the tip gently until paint flows, and recap firmly between uses to prevent drying. Store horizontally to maintain consistent ink flow and test on scrap material to judge opacity and drying time before working on the final surface.

• Shake well and press tip down until paint saturates
• Recap after use; store horizontally for even ink distribution
• Test on a sample surface for opacity and dry time first
• Clean tips on non-porous surfaces if switching colours

Why choose the Deep Grey 3-pack for my toolbox?

Deep Grey is a flexible neutral suited for shading, outlines, and tonal work where black would be too stark. A three-pack gives you multiple markers for repeated use, backups during long projects, or to reserve individual pens for different techniques.

• Neutral tone for subtle contrast and shading
• Three markers provide redundancy for prolonged sessions
• Great for sketching, mixed media layers, and craft detailing
• Compact pack fits easily into art kits and toolboxes

Who is this for? Creatives of all levels — from hobbyists and students to professional designers, muralists, and crafters — who need a reliable, easy-to-use medium-tip paint marker for decorating, illustrating or customizing diverse surfaces. Not intended for children under 12.
