OTR 401 Soul Tip Paint

I bought this particular paint here.

This paint, although dirt cheep (as far as mop paints go) is tops. I bought myself a bottle of this paint in black, just because I wanted something to run though a drip mop mini that was pretty cheap. I expected an ink that was med-quality at best. I figured that it would be watery, as far as mop paints go, and matte.

I stand happily corrected.

This mop paint is one of the juiciest, glossiest paints I've ever tried. The liquid is rather thin, and obviously alcohol-based (you can smell the alcohol pretty easily) but I've never once had it streak on me, and the drips are thick and juicy. The ink, from the moment you apply it, is as glossy as all wet paints are. What is amazing about this ink is that once dried, it is still one of the glossiest paints I've ever used.

Pros: Cheap, super-glossy, nice drips, runs great through a threaded nib.

Cons: Especially at this price, I can't really think of any.

I would definitely suggest this paint to anyone that enjoys using drip mops. I haven't tried it through a flow-valve marker, and even though it's both thin and alcohol based (as far as mop paints go) I wouldn't suggest it, as it might clog up the nib.

Here's a video of the paint in action:
