I’ve been teasing this one for a while, and I finally sat down and tested my acrylic paint markers so you don’t have to. In this video I compare 9 different acrylic marker sets from 7 brands, and I put them through the kinds of tests that actually matter for planners, journaling, and crafty projects. I swatch and write on both white and black paper so you can really see opacity and coverage (because that’s usually where these markers either shine… or completely fall apart). As I’m testing, I pay attention to flow/consistency, nib styles and how easy they are to control for small planner details, drying time, and how “user-friendly” each set feels right out of the package. I also talk about packaging and storage because, let’s be real, if a set is annoying to use or keep organized, I’m not going to reach for it when I’m trying to make a page I can actually stick with. If you’ve been stuck trying to decide which acrylic paint markers are worth buying, this comparison is meant to help you see the differences quickly and pick what fits your style and budget.
