has anyone everyheard of colorplace real teal

 

 

I think color place was sold only in walmarts. One of my favorite all time colors was made by them. Cobalt Blue sort of a blue purple tint to it. They had a bunch of your pastel colors too like mauve, a light pink, the teal, a jade green color and a few others. Mostly similar to the pastel colors krylon introduced in the late 80's early 90's. Not the best paint out there, but very comprable to krylon.

thanks, good looking out.

 

i also found this about old paint in the uk:

 

Brands of Spray-Paint

 

Itallic=(mostly old school brands, that dont exist any longer)

 

Auto K......................................very thick paint, vibrant colours, used a lot in the old days, quite hard to find nowadays

Belton.......................................good colours of paint, old skool writers used mainly pink or purples

Buntlack...................................the preferred paint by old skoolers, once the best paint you could get, now watery & expensive at £15 per can

Car plan....................................the paint everyone has used at least once in the old days, was always considered sub-standard

Cycle Style............................... ..a range Halfords brought out in 1990, only had 2 good colours, pink & purple, but was good paint

Dupli Color.................................this was usually the last resort if you couldnt find anything else, very substandard cheap paint

Halfords....................................a modern-day replacement of car plans, not much better than its pre-decessor

Home Style............................... .the staple diet for every old skool writer, this was the most racked brand of paint ever!

thousand upon thousand of these cans would have been used on trains during the '80's & '90's

Hycote......................................a very good brand of paint in small sized tins, still highly rated, very good colours

Isoflex...................................... a gutter repair rubber based spray, that can be used to outline a piece

Japlac........................................a good replacement for smoothrite - easily racked from B&Q came in red white and black

Krylon...................................... england had a version of this paint, not as good as the U.S., but the black was favoured for trains

Marabu.................................... a little-known brand of Buntlack, but in smaller cans, nice colours, but drippy as hell

Montana...................................the ready made for graff paint, that has been around a couple of years

Multona....................................a German brand of paint, very rare nowadays, came in nice pastel shades (used by Shine & Quest)

Odds & Ends.............................miniscule cans of paint, that appeared in the mid 90's, still around today

Radiator Enamel........................used to be a last resort, in off white colours, nowadays they have a very nice chrome

Rubber Duck...............................legendary brand of spray paint that was actually meant for fixing leaking pipes, made of asphalt mastic it would leave a permanent stain on a train, bizzarely Woolworths used to stock them

Rust Not....................................part of Plasticotes old range, some nice colours

Smoothrite.................................the mainstay of every english writers pallette, this was not only the first choice, but the only choice of paint to outline a piece in, sadly in 1992 the makers changed the formula to a bog standard watery mixture

Sparvar....................................dutch brand of spray paint, usually racked by london writers on trips abroad and brought back to london, the range of colours was vast, and included a lot of muted pastel shades, came recommended by Kast

Spectra......................................spectra chrome was the main paint used for dubs back in the day, it was long-lasting, thick and shiny, cherish & karl used it on their whole train (BTP was featured on a news item collecting the empties afterwards and reckoned they used 200 cans)

Spraila.......................................comes from the same makers of Belton & Auto K, but is very watery

Stone Chip...............................a thick mastic spray that used to be easy to rack, and was thick enough not to sink in bare brick walls, so was good for outlining tracksides

Stop That Leak...........................same as rubber duck

Super Enamel...........................stocked by the old Texas Homestores (now homebase), small range of colours, but pretty good paint, its formula and style has been changed though, and is average nowadays

U-Spray.....................................the first ever spray paint available in the UK, came out in 1971, used by early writers including yours trully

Water Based Plasti-Cote...........initially seemd like a good idea, nice new colours deep purples and soft pinks, but was soon hated by writers, often clogged up, and froze in cold weather! nasty paint, thank god they dont make it anymore.
