Today we're going to be trying something that i have never seen tried before! What you have
probably seen before, I'm sure, is this beautiful Krink silver formula that everyone raves about.
And sort of with good reason. The formula itself, it's thick, it's juicy, it's one of the shiniest,
brightest silver formulae i have seen. And although i don't regularly use Krink products
because of the hefty price tag that they come with compared to some other mops, i bought this one in
particular for a chrome formula review video. Link in the cards to that one, if you want to look at
it. And i was pleasantly surprised by the Krink silver. There, i admitted it! But that being said,
i still don't plan on using this Krink silver regularly and what better way is there to use
it up than to mix it with a high powered, high staining ink, such as this inkredible ink by otr?
Well, that's exactly what we're going to do today. By the end of this video you'll have seen number
one, what some Krink silver formula tags look like, just as a little reminder; and number two,
what it looks like when you mix a beautiful Krink silver formula with some sort of high-powered
staining ink such as this inkredible ink. We'll be seeing if the new formula in about probably a
three to two ratio of paint to ink keeps that nice light fastness, that a lot of paints have while
maybe maintaining some of that staining power of the ink. We'll maybe even do a bleed through test.
So if you guys are gonna get some value out of seeing me do that rather than you having to pay
like 15 bucks for a Krink k60 and another 10 for some of this ink, then maybe let me know
by hitting that thumbs up button and we'll head over to the testing area and get this rolling!
Welcome to the testing area everyone. This is where all the magic happens, and we're going to be
trying to create a little bit of magic here today and hopefully create a magical uh paint and ink
formula I guess is is what we're trying to do. Bottom line: hopefully this isn't a big waste of
some beautiful Krink silver formula. That would be a shame. So i'm going to start off by tagging
up some subscribers names who have asked me for hit offs with the Krink silver, straight up, just
to show you what we're dealing with here with the Krink formula, the juiciness of it, the thickness
especially of it and the shininess, what it looks like, how bright is it. And while i do that i'll
tell you a bit about the formula itself and who among us writers will enjoy using a formula such
as the Krink silver and who might not. If you are looking for more info specifically on the Krink
k60s, i would strongly suggest that you head over and check out our review that we have here on the
channel of the Krink k60. It is the number one review on youtube of the Krink k60 currently,
and it has been since it's been released. And, as always, if you do end up thinking you want to
pick up either of these products, we always have the products linked in the description where you
can pick them up that is. So, without further ado let's see what this Krink silver can do!
So, i know some people are going to say "Sciz, you're crazy tainting this Krink silver formula
with anything else," uh and i hear you, I do. So let me tell you some of the best features of this
Krink silver and hopefully demonstrate them as well for those of you who aren't familiar
with it. It really does speak for itself. As you can see the Krink silver specifically is
so thick. It's really a very white silver, has a lot of brightness, a lot of light fastness to it
as well. Something you guys should see is the comparison of how reflective the formula is as
well. I did a video comparing a bunch of the top chrome and silver formulae where you can
see that if you choose. Like i mentioned before, it's in the corner. But really, we're looking at
a hugely impressive formula despite the incredibly over inflated price tag on the Krink K60s, and as
someone who's taken quite a bit of time in past videos, like the one where i explained my sort of
analysis of some of Krink's business decisions, which you can see too in the corner or in the
description, i think it's fair to say that this silver is a cool thing by itself. But that isn't
gonna stop us from experimenting and trying to work some magic with the formula itself and adding
our nice inkcredible ink here. It is going to do a couple of things to the formula. And the number
one thing it's going to do is of course it'll make the Krink silver a little bit darker, right?
Especially with this sort of dark red that we have here, and that's one of the reasons i chose the
Krink silver specifically to try this out with. It's such a bright bright light silver, so i'm
hoping it can withstand a little bit of darkening and still maintain that nice lustre that it really
does have, like this is gorgeous stuff. You have to admit. And the second thing that's going to
be done to our Krink silver formula here is of course the ink will thin it. Inks in general,
very very thin. I hate how they sort of just their drips slide down the surface, don't maintain any
of the three dimensionality the same way that a paint drip does. So, that's another reason
i chose the Krink silver specifically. Being that it's one of, if not the, thickest silver
paint i have found on the graffiti market, i'm hoping it can withstand a little bit of thinning
and maintain a bit of the three-dimensionality and thickness, even after we add some of this ink.
And just to quickly let you guys know a bit about inks and paints, a paint formula,
such as the Krink k60 silver here, has an insoluble pigment in it. In the case of silver's
um sort of a shiny pigment to it. That's how they create the lustrous effect and that insoluble
sort of powder is suspended within a resin which helps it stick to a surface enough to tag with,
rather than just sliding down a surface as water would. And then there's also
a solvent added in there as well. Ink on the other hand, ink has a soluble,
not insoluble, a soluble sort of powder that is dissolved into that resin binder. So,
inks generally tend to be less lightfast. They do fade but they do offer much better staining
prospects and of course they offer some bleed through power as well. They do actually stain a
surface or bleed through a paint layer or a lot of layers that you can cover them up with. So that's
really what we're trying to do here. We're really trying to capture the best of both worlds here by
combining these. So we are trying to maintain a bit of the bleed through here, the stainability
of the ink while maintaining hopefully some of the thickness of the Krink k60 silver formula,
some of the light fastness of the paints; that's something that paints are really good at;
as well as in this case the fifth thing we're trying to maintain here is some of that lustre
from the silver formula itself. So, that's really five things that we're hopefully trying to hold on
to. We're hoping that the formulae don't really damage each other, but more assist each other,
mixed in proper proportions. But that's the hard part right? Mixing them in proper proportions. So,
what i'm gonna try here is something like maybe a three to two type thing,
so we're dealing with a bit more paint to hopefully keep the thickness, because i think
that's going to be the hard aspect to keep here. So let's see what we can do filling this up now.
So, we filled this up after we do a few tags on, number one, a dark surface here,
a black surface. I also have a white surface that we're going to throw some tags on. And
i do have to say right away i definitely underestimated just how insidious this red
ink is, so we are definitely dealing with a little bit of a darker mixture now and we may
get a bit of that coppery lustre uh. That would be nice! But, something else we are going to do
is we are going to do a bleed through test. We are just going to throw some paint over it,
probably just with a white, just to see if it stands up to any bleed through. And hey,
if there is a bit of bleed through, then we're definitely on to something and we have
not wasted our precious Krink silver paint. So, let's get started, throw some tags with this uh
new creation on the dark surface, then a white surface as well. Let's do it!
Wow!
Oh my goodness. Look at that!
Guys this is incredible. Just look at the the two-toned,
still fairly thick, - i have no words for this. I i can't even begin to describe what this is.
I may have created the best ink
and paint mix on the planet and i will stand by that claim! Oh my gosh.
Just look at the colour change in here too, like i i have no words for this.
Neither formula is hurting the other one. I i swear guys. Where do i even start with this
formula that we've created? I will back myself 100% in saying that i think this is the best
ink slash paint mixture formula that i have ever seen, and it might be the best one ever because
this is just, you can see it, like what do i even say about it? Despite the colour you're seeing in
the actual mop, it's maintaining so much of that shine and lustre. I don't think it's lost any of
that. It is slightly darker with sort of a three to two ratio remember. So you are seeing a slight
darkening, almost a coppering effect. But even mixing it in the mop itself quite consistently,
you're still getting sort of this this really beautiful, not necessarily a separation, but a
difference in how the colours look. Like there is a little bit of colour variation within the lines,
which is really present when you look at the drips. And when it does dry (because i'm looking
at this dry right now; you guys are looking at the tags) but when it does dry, it is a little less
inconsistent. The colour evens out a little bit and it does really just feel like you have
a beautiful shiny light fast silver with a red tinge to it, and it's just a it's a beautiful red
tinge. I can't emphasize enough how impressed and surprised really I am. I'm glad i was crazy enough
to possibly try and waste Krink silver paint and mix it with just a good, high quality ink to try
this out because this is my idea of perfection. I can't put it any other way. You guys tell me
in the comments please if this is as impressive to you as it is to me. Because largely we're not
seeing too much of a difference in consistency here. I would state even this two fifths ink,
three-fifths paint mixture that i have here it's still a thicker formula the way it is than some
paint formulae. I would say it's even thicker than On the Run Soultip paint the way it is
right now. It's probably thicker than some of the Molotow paints that come in the drip sticks. So,
we've really maintained one, the thickness, two, the shininess, hopefully the light fastness - i
can't see it fading at all; there's just so much of that shininess coming through that
the paint is obviously still in control there, especially with the thickness being there. But
what's really left to see here is if any of the staining properties have translated
to the formula and if they're gonna stand up to just a bit of a light bleed through test. So i'm
i'm just gonna run in get a can of paint for us and we're gonna try and cover this up and see if
there's any bleed through effect on some of these dried tags. And if it does end up bleeding through
at all and we do maintain some of those staining properties of the inkredible ink from otr, then i
i honestly am gonna be saying this is the best ink and paint mixture i have ever seen. It's
the best in the world! World's best ink and paint mixture! I'm backing it. That's it!
Okay, so you can see the Kavok and the Ortz tags here. Those are going to be the ones
we're covering with paint. More the Kavok one to show that the Krink silver itself doesn't bleed
through anything, and it will be a difference for this we hope. Just a side note, Ortz left a
comment mentioning how he thought my editing was getting a little bit better and i really
do appreciate that kind of stuff, so thank you for that comment Ortz! But we're going to get to this,
just cover it up with a white paint. We're just going to put a normal layer
of paint over both these tags and see if our mixture here, our golden mixture, does
offer any bleed through capabilities. Let's get to it
guys! I can't cover it! I can't cover it!
And as you see this paint dry you are going to see it bleed through a little bit more.
And i mean look at this. Obviously none of the lustre from the silver is shining through. That's
because that pigmentation itself is insoluble and it's not bleeding through anything, but the bleed
through soluble pigmentation of the inkredible ink here is exactly what you're seeing 100%.
To clarify, what we're actually proving here is just that it functions the way any other
paint and ink mixture would and it does bleed through. But to me, just this look: you can't
beat it, you cannot beat the look that you're getting here. If you wanted to tweak the formula,
you could probably go closer to a half half, but that's hard to do when you're playing around with
this Krink silver stuff, right? Like you don't have a lot to waste, hence why i'm here doing it;
so you guys don't have to spend the money to try and figure this out. But even though that's the
case, i still stand by my claim 100% that using Krink silver in a paint and ink mix formula is
something i have not seen done before and i really think it's produced a best-in-class
ink and paint mix. We were very lucky to sort of get the proportions close to right on our first
try here. And i do want to remind everyone that the difference between making a ink and paint mix
that really is great, like i would argue this one is, and one that's just sort of average
or even poor is very very slim in terms of those proportions. It really is a bit of a proportional
guessing game, so you do have to play around. That is the important part. But if you guys have any
ink and paint mixes that you've been rocking lately like this or just any sort of mixes,
i'd love to hear about them in the comments. You guys in the comments can share more knowledge than
i could ever fit in one compact little video, so the more knowledge we all share, the better off
we all are. I would highly recommend that you check out a couple of the videos i mentioned
during this video. Number one, the chrome formula comparison video: that one is an excellent look at
the different chrome formulae on the market. One of my personal favourite videos i've done is one
where i talk about the tactics that Krink uses to make more money in the graffiti market and
survive. So that one is one of my favourite videos I've made. I would highly recommend you check it
out. I hope you found this video interesting at least, helpful, something like that. And i
hope i'll see you in one of the videos on screen that i mentioned quite soon! Until then, peace!
