Staedtler Lumocolor Acrylmarker 349-11 in gold is a paint marker with a round tip of approximately 2.4 mm that delivers opaque metallic lines on a variety of surfaces. The marker uses low-odor acrylic ink designed for clear, durable coverage on paper, cardboard, wood, glass and many non-porous materials. Its medium-fine round tip produces consistent strokes suited to detailing, labeling and decorative accents where a metallic gold finish is required.
Advantages
The marker provides highly opaque metallic gold ink that adheres well to both porous and non-porous surfaces. The low-odor acrylic formulation enables indoor use with minimal smell. Its round tip of about 2.4 mm gives steady, even lines for writing, outlining and small decorative work. The ink dries to a water-resistant finish that preserves color and metallic effect on many materials.
Suitable for
- Hand lettering and decorative accents on paper and cardboard
- Detail work and highlights on wood and craft projects
- Writing or marking on glass, glazed ceramics and other non-porous surfaces
- Labeling items where a metallic gold mark is required
- Art and hobby projects requiring opaque metallic coverage
When it may not be suitable
The marker is not intended for long-term exposure to outdoor weathering without additional protection; constant outdoor use may lead to fading or abrasion over time. It may not adhere permanently to certain oily or highly textured surfaces, and adhesion can vary depending on surface preparation and material.
Key specifications
- Ink type: low-odor acrylic
- Tip shape: round
- Tip size: approximately 2.4 mm
- Color / finish: metallic gold, opaque
- Suitable surfaces: paper, cardboard, wood, glass, glazed ceramics, many non-porous materials
- Drying properties: quick-drying with water-resistant finish
How to use
Shake the marker well before use to mix the metallic pigment into the acrylic base. Prime the tip if needed by pressing it gently on scrap material until the ink flows. Apply with light, even pressure for consistent lines; multiple passes produce more opaque coverage. Allow the ink to dry fully before handling. For non-porous surfaces, clean and dry the area first to improve adhesion.
What to consider before purchase
- Confirm the tip size (approx. 2.4 mm) matches the required line width for your project
- Check surface compatibility—very oily, heavily textured or untreated plastics may not give permanent adhesion
- Consider testing on a scrap piece of the target material to verify adhesion and appearance
- Indoor use is preferable for longevity; for outdoor applications, plan for protective coatings
Usage recommendations
For best results, store horizontally to maintain even ink distribution and always recap firmly after use. When working on glossy surfaces, allow extra drying time and consider a clear sealant for increased durability.
