These don't use the Real Colors paints (which are lacquer-based paints). These are acrylic paints.

There's a few places in the video where it looks like they're getting fairly fine detail out of the markers. I would have to give them a try before saying one way or the other.

I'm aware of Molotow paint markers as a brand, as I've seen them mentioned in a YouTube video before. Googling "acrylic paint markers" returns a surprisingly large number of results, but I have no experience or knowledge of using markers beyond dry erase markers on our whiteboard calendar at work.

"You listen to me. While I will admit to a certain cynicism, the fact is that I am a naysayer and hatchetman in the fight against violence. I pride myself in taking a punch and I'll gladly take another because I choose to live my life in the company of Gandhi and King. My concerns are global. I reject absolutely revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method... is love. I love you Sheriff Truman." - Twin Peaks

I've used acrylic paint markers for graffiti, they work well in my opinion. Some examples in the spoiler. The effect is limited by my lack of talent, not by the products.
