Top gun Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I know they are not that rare, are they exactly the same in Canada? But in France it's really rare, you can't find any Krylon in stores since 10 years, except old stocks, but i've digged all of them for a good part...

HAL Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Those are not the same as the ones in Canada. The Canadian versions look more like domestic american cans, and not everything is in French. The four on the bottom look the most like the canadian cans, but i don't recall the canadian versions having a huge "appret" on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffie crave 7 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 i prolly am wrong then,but i did see some of these cans while i was up there for awhile. heres a picture of the Mr.Spray guy i cant get over how funny this is and the fact they call the paint, Mr. Spray. These kinds of cans to me are GOLD just for the fact they are so cheesy and funny. i wish company's today had more weird humor. It looks like he even has a jean skirt on mabye Mr.spray likes to take it in the ass? idk...where the F is miss spray??? ok he is also standing on a rainbow, its a fact Mr.spray with his jean skirt is a homo.

Slyle CMC Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 I think we can whip one up.... Hal the french cans are similar to 50's cans here, no warnings no bs, just straight design.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAL Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 The golden age before lawsuits. Those Mr. Spray cans are some of my favorite oddballs. The silver is really, really good. Other than that I'd only seen and tried some awful yellow and a decent brown primer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top gun Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Is there a good, basic yellow available in USA? That covers, to make a fill-in? I mean, a real yellow, not pale, not orange, YELLOW. In Europe it's almost impossible to find a great one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slyle CMC Posted December 12, 2009 Author Share Posted December 12, 2009 Some of the rusto and aa yellows are not that bad, krylon Topaz yellow was a decent yellow. I had a few cans of catepillar yellow by Bowman that was some pretty thick shit. Most of the thicker ones are not a real true yellow. I remember using sun yellow on a white primed wall for some simple letters, and still needing 3-4 coats to really make it pop, you live and learn....

Top gun Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 The only one i really love is the Dupli-color Platinum Traffic Yellow. Those cans are so dope, and so free! http://www.platinum-colors.com/fr/farbtab.html Oh, and a Multona(Auto-K) one, but i don't know the name. A Sparvar one too...

HAL Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 My crew mate Burye had these spanish/mexican Krylon yellows that covered amazingly. He found a grip of them at a bargain store. Really ugly paper labels. Looked like John Deere/Bright Yellow, and covered in one shot. I had one can of the first generation Ironlak paints, with the colored, rounded plastic tops and smaller logo. It was Pineapple Park, which is one of their brightest yellows, and covered very well. I find it funny, because the current formulation is one of their worst colors. I'd say on par with something as bad as Krylon sun yellow, but the older version was like late 90's era Rusto Sunburst Yellow in terms of coverage. Ironlak Butter is pretty bright, and covers better than most yellows. I've outlined with it. Painter's Touch Sun Yellow is ok, and looks alright with two coats. It's totally solid with three coats.

Top gun Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 It is just a formula problem? Due to the fact that to obtain a real yellow lead is needed? They haven't find any substitution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graffiti Professor Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 if were talking yellow in general, mtn hardcore lemon yellow is not bad. I used it for a force field not to long ago which came out nice and solid over a red background... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAL Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 It must be weak pigments, because yellow is thin no matter what paint you use, be it bucket paint, artist tube paint, spray, whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varivaldi Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 AA Buttercup and Old Rusto Sunburst Yellow is good. Used the Sunburst the other day. it was sitting for forever, and when I started to use it it was terrible, but the nI got it working nice and I was really surprised at it's thickness.

Cracked Ass Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 It should be unanimous from all USA posters that Rustoleum Sunburst yellow is the last best American yellow currently out there. AA summer squash has gone downhill and is slightly paler, but still workable. Another thick Rusto yellow that I can't find anymore is Cornmeal. Union Pacific yellow is runny (although thick) and changes color while you use it, flirting with orange and then reverting. Really runny, not a great experience unless you're patient.

nocomply Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 It must be weak pigments, because yellow is thin no matter what paint you use, be it bucket paint, artist tube paint, spray, whatever. cadmium yellow is opaque, but it obviously shouldn't be sprayed due to inhalation hazard, cadmium is also pretty expensive....typically on housepaint (spray or bucket) the darker or more vibrant or intense of a color the more pigments are used and less titanium dioxide and other shit that makes paint cover well...that's why it helps to have a grey underneath a burgundy etc...otherwise you're doing multiple coats... like cracked ass said, rusto sunburst yellow is great and covers well..it does look like it has a tiny bit of red in it..but it's bright as heck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
