Re: silver paint pen or black sharpie for football?
I LOVE a silver paint pen on an authentic leather football.
I personally go with a medium point for a nice signature. The fine points don't work as well. Also, a good silver paint pen will have a metallic flake effect in the signature.
I have used 2 brands and both are good.
Zig Painty (used by the NFL & PSA for NFL Auctions)
&
Elmer's Painters
I prefer the Zig to the Elmer's, but the Zig can be harder to find.
As far as paint pen lasting indefinitely, Yes and No.
I have removed silver paint pen from a football using paint thinner and a Q-Tip. It took a lot of work, and multiple applications of the thinner.
But, the paint pen should last as long or longer than the Sharpie under normal circumstances.

Wow.. That looks great on the jersey. Are they one time use? Once I activate the paint, is it only good for that day? Hour? Etc?
Thanks alot
