Icy GrapeWI Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Originally posted by tré@May 17 2005, 05:47 PM i'm young with no job and no real steady source of income, so i try to find the best paint for the cheapest prices. flat black, silver, gold, green, red, blue and brown all by Color Place (walmart brand) at $.94 a can work perfect for me. their yellows, whites, oranges and other lighter colors are very runny and drippy, dry transparent and overall aren't even worth 94 cents. i paint with Rustoleum and Krylon when i have the extra money, but i'll never waste money on black or red. i think Color Place's flat blacks and reds are fine and just buy those. i prefer Rusto to Krylon because Krylon seems a bit more runny/drippy. Rusto's flat white is pretty much all i have on regular basis. when i need nice colors for a multilayered stencil or whatever, i buy Painter's Touch or American Accents. the paint quality is very nice and the price isn't too bad for the array of colors. good stuff. ialso came across this stuff Quick Color at my local home depot, it's pretty much Rustoleum's $1 can line. the flat black is all i've used so far, but its great quality stuff and also all my tips work on it (ny fats/thins, german outlines, german/rusto fats). german fats are the only caps that work on Color Place besides stock ones, and i like being able to use thins and fats on $1 cans. i pretty much have a stock of Color Place, a Rusto can or 2, maybe 1 Krylon, and then a few random Painter's Touch or Quick Color cans. works for me. [edit: Guesser, i see you're new to the game...i really hope you're not getting up with that name.] Quoted post yo ive been using quickcolor for a grip. it real cheap and its pritty thick. the darker colors are less likely to run, but i reall like that brand but i cann't fit them with ny caps at all :hatred: . montana is what i have mostly, im not rich im just 17 w/ a job.

Yellow Feets Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Hmmm... I was thinking of ordering some Montana Aliens (chill, just a couple of cans) but I guess I'll just mix paint instead. I'm still undecided as of right now - next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSAC Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 i like wal mart cans,they are pretty cheap and all so thats good,i fucked with painters touch a fue times. i never tried that european paint but from what i am reading its pretty good,its hella pricy like 5 bucks for a can. but a krylon with a NY fatty makes magic happen if you got the wrist. thats my 2 bits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bears_with_knives Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 :love2: :love2: ^also a rusto with a NY Fat^ :love2: :love2: . I like to use color place for the flat black, white, and silver because your hand doesn't have to go 100mph to make a highlight, border, or outline. and of course to top it off, it's cheap as heck... :king: :king: :king: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useurname Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 I use just about everything. But rusto americans accents or w/e is dope but you can't get the clean lines! somebody gave me a cap that is supposed to work like a greydot but for rusto so maybe I can get cleaner lines now, I'll find out soon enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useurname Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 That cap wasnt really different it didnt really work better in the way that I was thinking it would. The only thing I don't like about rusto is how it skips or delays before it comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
master bait Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 ^^^the post up there by rivers... montana usually covers lots of stuff but not always wet chrome. there are a couple of colors that do, though. some of the colors (spanish brand) to look out for are lake blue machine green black anyway, this topic is kind of retarded. there are so many brands of spray paint, and the opacity of the colors vary in every one, people have different opinions and experiences. you get people talking out of their ass about this and that and not clarifying which brand. most people think one should find out everything by themselves like back in the day, and thats true...but this could also be alot more useful. I was thinking about an amphibious regional spray paint thread with flicks and names of spraypaint brands from your area/country. like a shopping guide so you know what you're looking for if you visit europe from usa and vice versa etc. I'ma start this topic once I get around photographing the local paint we have here. unless I've gotten carried away by the caffeine again and everyone thinks this is a bad idea???

pugsly Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 i was wondering how many of you guys from the uk (like me), use monster colours paint?..i've tried it and personaly it aint nothing special plus you can order belton from europe for less or the same price! so why? :huh2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bears_with_knives Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 i recently tried the montana alien paint from a friend. it was my first montana i used, and i like how easy it is to press the nozzle... the paint comes out pretty good to... also i finally stocked up on painter's touch, and american accents. painter's touch is cool, it covers just like rustoleum. as for american accents, i didn't get the chance to use it as much but it came out runny for me. but it's probably the way i painted.
