Hey Vid, there's a new product that came out: Acrylic paint markers from Liquitex.
Have you tried them ?

The black is real black, compared to the Sharpie which looks like a dark blue-purple when you see them side by side. It is a bit more opaque also, and doesn't streak as much. I really like it.

I guess it will not smear when cleared like Sharpie and oil-based paint markers right ?

Thank you Drano, Molotow is by far the best.

Just so you know, litho film is the most opaque you can get. At noon when the sun is the shiniest, you can barely see it through this film.

Here are the values I get in Photoshop (relative to my scanner, just to give an idea).

Litho : 100%
Sharpie : 71%-87% blueish
Molotov : 91% uniform black
Liquitex : 69%-91% black
Waterslide : 89%

The image from my last post came from my scanner.
Here's a better look at opacity comparison

Oh, and the paint used in the markers can be used in an airbrush. The viscosity is perfect.
