Molotow ONE4ALL – A Modular Acrylic System for Graffiti Artists

Molotow ONE4ALL is often compared to other acrylic markers, but it is built around a different idea. Instead of being a disposable drawing tool, ONE4ALL is designed as a modular acrylic paint system that can scale from sketching to canvas, studio work, and advanced mixed media.

This guide is written for graffiti artists who already draw and sketch, and who want more control, consistency, and long-term flexibility from their materials. Rather than focusing on step-by-step tutorials, it explains how the ONE4ALL system works and why many artists choose it as their main acrylic tool.

 

What Is Molotow ONE4ALL?

Molotow ONE4ALL is an acrylic-based paint system available as refillable markers and liquid refills. Both formats use the exact same paint, which means the color, opacity, and finish remain consistent regardless of how it is applied.

The Molotow ONE4ALL paint is:

  • Acrylic-based
  • Semi-gloss
  • Highly opaque
  • Permanent once dry
  • Quick-drying
  • Strongly UV resistant (except fluorescent neon colors)
  • Non-toxic
  • Suitable for indoor and outdoor use
  • 72 vibrant colors

It works on most surfaces, including paper, canvas, wood, plastic, metal, glass, and stone (surface testing is always recommended).

Why ONE4ALL Is Different

The main difference with ONE4ALL is that it is built as one paint across multiple tools. The same acrylic paint can be used for:

  • Sketching with markers
  • Painting with brushes
  • Refilling and extending marker life
  • Airbrush work
  • Mixed media applications

This means you don’t need to change materials as your workflow evolves. As your work moves from sketchbooks into canvas or studio environments, the paint stays the same.

This consistency is one of the main reasons artists commit to ONE4ALL long-term.

 

ONE4ALL Markers – Designed for Reuse

ONE4ALL markers are fully refillable and built to be reused many times — often 50 refills or more, depending on use.

Key characteristics:

  • Refillable bodies
  • Exchangeable nibs
  • Compatible with the full ONE4ALL color range

For artists who sketch regularly, this makes the markers feel like long-term tools rather than disposable items.

ONE4ALL Nibs – Sizes, Uses, and Marker Compatibility

Molotow ONE4ALL markers use exchangeable nibs that allow you to change line width and paint flow depending on your work. Nib compatibility is based on marker size and series, so different nibs fit different marker bodies.

Below is a practical overview of commonly used ONE4ALL-compatible nibs, what they are typically used for, and which marker series they fit.

Round Tip 1.5 mm

  • Use: fine sketching, clean outlines, controlled detail
  • Fits: ONE4ALL Acrylic Twin markers

Round Tip 2 mm

  • Use: general sketching, outlines, everyday drawing
  • Fits: 100-series markers (e.g. 127HS, 127HS-EF, 111EM)

Round Tip 4 mm

  • Use: heavier outlines, faster sketching, smoother flow
  • Fits: 200-series markers (e.g. 227HS, 211EM)

Crossover Tip 1–1.5 mm

  • Use: expressive outlines, slight line variation, dynamic sketching
  • Fits: 100-series markers (e.g. 127HS, 127HS-EF, 111EM)

Chisel Tip 4–8 mm

  • Use: lettering, fills, bold graphic strokes
  • Fits: 300-series markers (e.g. 327HS, 311EM)
  • Broad & Extra-Broad Nibs

Broad Tip 15 mm

  • Use: large fills, background areas, fast coverage
  • Fits: 600-series markers (e.g. 627HS, 611EM, 411EM)

T-Style Tip 20 mm

  • Use: extra-wide strokes, large graphic elements, calligraphy lettering
  • Fits: 600- and 400-series markers

Extra-Fine / Specialtech Tip 1 mm

  • Use: fine outlines, small details, precise sketch work
  • Fits: 100-series markers (e.g. 127HS, 127HS-EF, 111EM)

Choosing Nibs (Short Guidance)

Most graffiti artists don’t need many nibs. A simple setup often includes:

  • One round or extra-fine nib for outlines
  • One chisel or broader nib for fills

Always check marker series compatibility before buying new nibs.

The ONE4ALL Color System

Molotow ONE4ALL is available in 72 colors, shared across both markers and refills.

This unified color system means:

  • Marker colors match refill colors exactly
  • Colors can be mixed
  • Refills extend marker life indefinitely

For artists developing a personal style, this consistency becomes more valuable over time.

ONE4ALL Refills – More Than Just Ink

ONE4ALL refills contain the same acrylic paint used inside the markers, supplied in liquid form.

They can be used for:

  • Refilling markers
  • Painting with brushes
  • Mixing custom colors
  • Airbrush applications

At this point, ONE4ALL stops being “just a marker” and becomes a flexible acrylic paint system.

 

Refill Extension Rings – Cleaner Marker Refilling

Refilling markers can easily get messy due to the small internal parts in the marker body. Molotow Refill Extension Rings are designed to keep those parts aligned while refilling, making the process cleaner and more controlled.

They are especially useful if you:

  • Refill markers regularly
  • Want to avoid spills and wasted paint
  • Work with refills indoors or in a studio
  • Prefer a faster, more controlled refill process

Refill extension rings are optional, but they make frequent refilling noticeably easier.

Refill Extension Sizes and Compatibility

Refill Extension A
Fits: Molotow 100-series markers (e.g. 127HS, 111EM)

Refill Extension B
Fits: Molotow 200-series markers (e.g. 227HS, 211EM)

Refill Extension C
Fits: Molotow 300-series markers (e.g. 327HS, 311EM)

Refill Extension D
Fits: Molotow 400-, 600- and 700-series markers
(e.g. 411EM, 611EM, 711EM, 627HS)

Choosing the Right Extension Ring

The correct extension ring is determined by the marker series, not the paint or nib. If you use different marker sizes, you may need more than one ring. Using the correct size helps keep refilling clean, efficient, and consistent over time.

ONE4ALL and Airbrush Use

ONE4ALL refills are perfectly suitable for airbrush use, which is why they are commonly used in studio and mixed-media environments.

Reasons ONE4ALL works well in airbrush setups:

  • Fine pigment structure
  • High opacity
  • Acrylic durability
  • Smooth flow when diluted correctly

The paint can be diluted with water or acetone (1–3%), depending on setup and preference.

Airbrush use allows smooth gradients, even color layers, and large-scale applications, while still matching marker and brush work.

Who the ONE4ALL System Is For

ONE4ALL is well suited for:

  • Graffiti artists developing studio practices
  • Artists who work across sketchbooks, canvas, and mixed media
  • Those who want one consistent acrylic paint system

It is less about quick tagging and more about control, development, and long-term workflow.

 

A Sensible Starting Setup

A simple way to begin with ONE4ALL is:

  • A small selection of ONE4ALL markers
  • One or two refill colors (black and white are common choices)
  • One spare nib or a refill extension ring
  • This setup keeps things simple while allowing room to grow.

 

Final Notes

Molotow ONE4ALL is best understood as a system you grow into. You can start with a few markers and gradually expand into refills, canvas work, and airbrush use — without changing materials.

For graffiti artists looking to take the next step, that continuity is often the deciding factor.
