    Acrylic paint from walmart is real cheap like 50 cents for a small bottle. Put the whole bottle of paint in the mop and add like 1/3 water then shake it up and put in a brillo pad for a nib i use it all the time cuz ink never works for me lol i made a thread about this

    hold up, you can use water to thin acrylic and water based paints, paint thinner is for oil based paints. So it depends on what your thinning... and ink is totally different than paint, so the nib to whatever your putting it in should also very depending on whether your using paint, or ink.

    Yes it does depend on what your thinning, the only reason why you'd use water is to thin acrylic, as everything else water soluble is shit, typically if the paint smells weird then add thinners to it, I'm personally experimenting with addin thinners to acrylic rn

    The traditional different between ink and paint is that paint is made up of three things, pigment, binder, and water which you add yourself, while ink is just pigment and water, but in graff terms ink is typically some sort if solvent and pigment to make it stain more
