Mr.Black

I bought my Mr.Black here.

I bought Mr.Black (the brand name of the mop paint) in Mr.Green (the name of the color) when that color first came out (along with a Mr.Purple on Oink.) It was a new color at the time, and I wanted to be the first guy on YouTube to review it (which I was--score.)

I had been wanting to try Mr.Black for a while, particularly cuz it looked cool, I wanted to see what nitro-based paints were all about, and it's made in Italy.

What did I expect? I'm not sure, now that I think of it. It was probably something that was thick and glossy. Mr.Black ink is definitely thick. It's practically like a liquid plastic when it's not dry--definitely one of the thicker paints I've ever used. This wasn't a bad thing, though, because it flowed through my threaded mop nib really nicely, and I didn't have many problems with it clogging up the nib while not being used.

The plastic-like quality of the paint actually makes it rather "gooey," as far as liquids go. By that, I particularly mean that the drips are going to have nice arcs of paint connecting them, instead of being squirrel-ey lines randomly stemming from your lines. If you're having a hard time imagining that, don't worry; I've attached a video of this ink in action.

As for the gloss, I couldn't have been more off-course. Mr.Green is probably the most matte paint I've ever ran through a mop. This isn't, of course, necessarily a bad thing; it's actually one of the nicest-looking matte paints I've used so far.

As most people were, I assume, I was curious as to what "nitro-based" meant/had to do with the quality of the paint. By my research, and by what my commenters on YouTube have told me, nitro-based inks are kind of a medium between paint and ink. They stain hard, but are very opaque. I have to say, this would fit Mr.Green as a pretty good description.

Mr.Green doesn't streak much at all, which I was actually surprised about due to it's thickness.

Pros: High-quality, matte, low-streak, very juicy drips, nice colors.

Cons: Pricy (for it's quantity, which isn't particularly much)

Overall, this is actually a really great paint. If you're looking for a very thick, juicy-drip paint, this is definitely for you. If you're just bombing for the heck of it, and aren't in the mood to put as much effort into your tags, I would go with a cheaper ink/paint, just because of the price of the Mr.Black products.

*One after-thought- DO NOT run this through a chisel-tip, flow-valve marker. It will gunk it up almost immediately.

Here's my video-review of Mr.Green.
