How Slobproof Works

Slobproof™ Refillable Touch-Up Paint Pens are filled by drawing paint directly from a paint can into the pen’s fill chamber using the included syringes. Once filled, the patented internal sealing mechanism prevents air exposure, keeping paint fresh for years.To paint, the user twists the pen clockwise to load paint into the brush tip, then applies the paint precisely where needed. To refill, the pen is twisted counterclockwise to reset the internal chamber before adding more paint.

Slobproof FAQs

What kind of paint can I use in a Slobproof pen?

Any latex or acrylic wall paint, or water-based stain.

How long does paint stay fresh in the pen?

Up to 7 years when the brush tip is thoroughly rinsed after each use, then capped and stored properly.

What surfaces can I use it on?

Any surface suitable for the paint used, including walls, trim, cabinets, furniture, floors and doors.

Is the Slobproof pen reusable?

Yes, it is fully refillable and reusable. To begin refilling, give the bottom a hard counter-clockwise twist and continue to firmly twist the bottom of the pen counterclockwise until the internal barrel fully resets. Using a paper towel or small pliers, gently remove the brush tip and add more paint. Snap the brush tip back into place, and you’re ready to start painting again. See our videos for step-by-step demonstrations.

Is this better than disposable paint pens?

Slobproof pens are refillable, use real wall paint, and last for years, unlike disposable single-use pens.
