The Army’s PS magazine announced that touching up weapons where the finish has worn off just got easier. Repairmen can now order a solid film lubricant (SFL) paint pen dispenser with NSN 9150-01-646-0099. The dispenser makes touching up nicks, scratches and shiny spots a snap. The pen costs $33.
Is it a “lubricant” or “paint” pen?
It is a solid film lubricant – graphite in it must cover like paint
It youtube videos of solid film lubricant are anything to go by, it looks a lot like powder coating.
Come again? Not quite understanding what your saying
that first “It” should have been an “If”
I was (attempting) to say was that from the youtube videos I saw, the application of solid film lubricant appears similar to powder coating. It looks like you’re spray painting, but the paint is a completely dry powder substance.
Sometimes paint or a coating can act as a lubricant. Check out powder-coated bullet for a firearms-related version of this idea.
This is all I can find:

Solid film lubricants are paint-like coatings of very fine particles of lubricating pigment blended with a binder and other additives. The lubricant is applied to a substrate by spray, dip or brush methods and, once cured, creates a solid film which repels water, reduces friction and increases the wear life of the substrate to which it has been applied. Certain film lubricants also offer additional properties such as corrosion inhibition. Solid film lubricants are used in the automotive, transportation and aerospace industries.

Will be used to draw penises.
So, this is basically the Birchwood Casey MLP pen, but 3 times the cost per oz?
Then touch up with some FDE/Tan Aervoe spray paint.
