Grog: Handmade in Italy Since 2005
Grog was born in 2005 from the need of a group of writers to develop a deep, jet-black, permanent ink after historic benchmarks were reformulated and, as a result, lost effectiveness.
From this impulse came the first product, the Grog Buff Proof Ink. The brand's philosophy has always been clear: to produce specific tools for writers in Italy with an almost artisanal approach, focusing on every detail from chemical composition to design. This has led Grog to become the benchmark for those seeking high-performance technical tools, from Grog Squeezer to classic Graffiti Markers like Cutter and Pointer.
Grog Squeezers for Perfect Drips
The Grog Squeezer revolutionized the world of graffiti markers, simple as that. Unlike pump-action markers, the Squeezer has a soft plastic body that allows control over the paint flow through hand pressure. This technical feature enables forcing large quantities of ink or paint into the tip, generating the iconic drips typical of this marker. It’s the tool of choice for heavy drips and a fat, round line, something pump markers can’t deliver. Models like the Grog Squeezer 10 FMP are considered the best marker for drips, thanks to the balance between the soft body and high-flow tips, ideal for bringing to life the iconic tags with long drips that, over the years, have reshaped the look of streets worldwide.
Grog Cutter: For Sharp Handstyles
The Grog Cutter is the Squeezer’s sharp-edged sibling, same family, different attitude. It is a marker with a rigid body and a pump-action system, designed for sharp lines and maximum control. The flat chisel tip delivers the classic flat-line tag and can also push more calligraphic styles. A timeless staple rooted in graffiti’s golden age, still as relevant on today’s streets as ever. Models like Grog Cutter 15 XFP come pre-loaded with Grog Xtra Flow Paint, a finely milled, low-viscosity, alcohol-based formula optimized for the valve system, ensuring constant flow and solid lines on any surface.
Grog FMP: Your Go-To Universal Refill
The Grog Full Metal Paint (FMP) is a high-opacity pigmented paint. Unlike an ink, which penetrates, FMP sits on top of the surface, creating a solid and glossy layer. Its optimized viscosity formula makes it the best refill for Squeezer. Markers like the Grog Squeezer 25 FMP let you create thick, controlled drips by leveraging the technical characteristics of this paint combined with the marker's features.
Grog Full Metal Paint is perfect for Squeezer but can be used in any alcohol-based paint marker. While it doesn’t offer the ultra-fine milling of Grog Xtra Flow Paint, it’s a more economical option for paint markers, delivering dense, glossy coverage and reliable flow. Born as a classic silver, FMP now spans a wide palette to suit everyone, from hardcore taggers to beginners. Fast-drying and UV-resistant, it’s a dependable refill for street use.
Grog BPI: The Original Buff Proof Ink
The Grog Buff Proof Ink (BPI) is the product that started the Grog story. It is a dye-based permanent ink designed for maximum penetration. Unlike paints, its low-viscosity formula is engineered to "bite" into porous surfaces, staining them deeply. This makes it an extremely hard-to-buff ink. BPI is ideal for graffiti mops and mini drippers like the Grog Squeezer 05 BPI. Its chemical composition ensures superior resistance to weather and cleaning attempts.
Grog MCP: The Liquid Chrome Paint
The Grog MCP (Mercury Chrome Paint) is a special paint formulated for a mirror-chrome finish. This liquid chrome paint uses ultra-fine metallic pigments that orient on the surface to create a mirror-like effect. It is the best reflective chrome paint for those seeking a brilliant result on smooth, non-porous surfaces. The Grog Squeezer Mini 10 MCP is perfect for this paint, featuring a FlowTex tip that optimizes flow and finish, making it a distinctive mirror-finish marker.
Grog APP: For Artists, Customizations and Canvas
The Grog APP (Aqua Pro Paint) line represents Grog's entry into the world of water-based paints. This acrylic paint formula is optimized for illustration, customization, and canvas work. Its formula is low-toxicity, almost odorless, and permanent once dry, allowing for blending and shading (while wet). The Grog Pointer 04 APP, with its fine tip, is perfect for details and precision work, bringing Grog quality to those working in studios or on fine art projects.
Grog SKI: The Ultimate Staining Ink
The permanent ink Grog SKI (Street Killer Ink) is the extreme evolution of the original Buff Proof Ink formula. It is a deep black, alcohol-based ink whose chemical composition is engineered for maximum penetration and resistance. It is so aggressive that it deeply stains even the most difficult surfaces, ensuring almost absolute permanence. It is the choice for writers who want an ink that resists almost everything, without compromise. Its fluidity makes it perfect for all refillable markers and squeezers in the Grog range.
Grog EPT: Build your Custom Marker
The Grog EPT (Empties, Parts & Tools) line is dedicated to DIY customization. This series of Empty Markers and spare parts allows you to assemble your own tool based on your needs, making it unique. By choosing from different bodies, tips, and delivery systems, it's possible to create an original marker, loading it with your preferred Marker Refills. This modularity offers total control over the tool's performance, adapting it to your style, the surface, and the desired effect.
