Walid Jumblat Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Ah yes, seen. I'm embarrassed to post my stash right now as given some recent sales I think my Export and Repco paints far outnumber anything quality that I have (yes, I buy my paint). On the by, been using the Zeniths lately, quite a fan of those, actually. Decent paint, good colour range and affordable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnitzel Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 have you tried all the nozzles that are out for male can's fatties and the like some are pretty good. some are kind of rubbish but given the enamel paints seem not to block nozzles they last pretty well.

gyva Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Thanks, took me a good few days really got into it, all exports (mainly white bases) but used a fluro yellow and dulux dazzle pink though. Their sale is on for another week so hoping to get a few more and mix a few extra colours. Have made a really good mixing nozzle out of two of those stock calligraphy caps. Got a tube from CRC and drilled a hole in the top through the hole of the two caps (make sure your hole is tight on the tube), block the red nozzels with some glue. Join the two caps with the tube make sure its not too long about 10cms is good. tried to super glue the caps together but it doesn't work that well, just make sure when you pull the top can off that you hold the top cap together with the bottom one.

Walid Jumblat Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Wow, that is excellent mixing. Wish I had the patience and space to try it myself. Recently went on a Repco spending spree and the wife did some online shopping for me as an early/late Xmas/Bday pressy. Was pretty cool, let her choose all the colours so it would force me to branch out from the usual shit that I do. Some slimey green/yellows, some redish pinks and peaches, pretty happy with that! Next sale at supercheap I'll be stocking up in the pinks and purples, have a big wall planned. BTW, these are just the full cans, I have just as many halfies and scraps as well. Need to get some painting done to make some room in the shed!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnitzel Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 love those old formula montana blacks! Nice stash - montana white creeping on the left side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walid Jumblat Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Nah, used all the M.Whites I had, think I might have a few halfies somewhere. The blacks on the left are a mixture of Zenith, Crunch, Kolour and a few Bunning/Repcos as well. Need to get me some caps as well. What sucks is the only place that sells caps here is Eckersley's and they only have ironlak caps. I could buy from the deliv joints like ozgraff and Butchers but the cost of deliv is like $7, which makes buying 20 caps fucking expensive. Need a trip to Syd/Melb.....

Schnitzel Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 just buy enough caps to make it work on postage to tide you over while you're waiting to go north/south instead of buying 20 buy 100. I really lucked in buying a huge batch of mini spanish Montanas 2 years back.old male valve mini cans-(see in the middle shelf of my pic further up the page.) the cans don't work real well but do have a lovely little skinny round cap for exports/bunnings/etc. no adaptors requiredand have a nice stock tip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walid Jumblat Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 It would seem you 'strain cats have been dealing with that male valve system for some time now. Yeah, all paint was male valve systems when I started in the 80s, all the el-cheapo non-specialist cans are still males as well. I actually get a kick out of using the budget cans, makes me all nostalgic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hua Guofang Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Wow, that is excellent mixing. Wish I had the patience and space to try it myself. Recently went on a Repco spending spree and the wife did some online shopping for me as an early/late Xmas/Bday pressy. Was pretty cool, let her choose all the colours so it would force me to branch out from the usual shit that I do. Some slimey green/yellows, some redish pinks and peaches, pretty happy with that! Next sale at supercheap I'll be stocking up in the pinks and purples, have a big wall planned. BTW, these are just the full cans, I have just as many halfies and scraps as well. Need to get some painting done to make some room in the shed!! Just looking back I realise that I've only had time to hit the walls about 4-5 times since I took that last pic...., although I've continued to stock up. Each time there was a sale at the auto shop I'd drop in and pick a few, each birthday or xmas anyone that wanted to get me something was sent the link to an online paint shop. The stuff in the crate below are halfies and I've also added to my mega-box of cans 30% and less. Thought I'd have more time to paint in between semesters but ended up moving house and other shit that only allowed me out once. Semester is about to start again and looks like I'll get little time to paint in the next 4 months. So, stocks will probably continue to grow again....

Schnitzel Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 you need to get out more! a lot more! but I'm pretty much as guilty as you. why not get a mixing nozzle and stack some of those 30% or less into each other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hua Guofang Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Preachin to the choir, mate. This is the last semester of my masters, by Nov I'll have a life again. Couldn't be assed mixing the scraps. Just collecting a pile for a huge scraps piece. Just moved house where I have a bunch more space, might get in to mixing some colours when I get my weekends back.

injury Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 "wholesale" pricing on stops rust at home depot ($3.30/can for some colors when you buy six or more) is pretty legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backwaterbutthole Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 What country are you from Hua Guofang? I have never seen any of those brands. Whats up with the ones with the tops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hua Guofang Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Australia. The ones with tops are the $3:00 povo cans from the auto shop, called Aussie Export. When they are on sale you get 4 for $10 so I just stock up for doing fill and backgrounds. They're pretty thin and have a male valve, they suck in general but have their uses. Tanq, Crunch, United and I think Aeroskills are also Australian brands. Heaps of people jumped on the China bandwagon and started up their own lines of cheap paint made in Guangdong. Tanq is still around but I think United and Crunch may have gone under just recently and Aeroskills died ages ago. Monster is from the UK, I think, Zenith if from Singapore but made in China - decent paint though. The rest are Ironlak, Montana, Yard Master and now NBQ. Still never tried Beltons yet, they're out of my price range given my married and saving for a house status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backwaterbutthole Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Word, so are most of the aussie hiphop paint brands pretty similar in quality? I would fuck with those Aussie Export cans, seems like the OSH brand equivalent. Belton is abusively expensive, i dont know who their consumer base is because who could possibly afford a 7 or 8 dollar can? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hua Guofang Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Yes and no - they are around the same average quality, many say that Crunch is the old Ironlak formula and I don't doubt it as it's China and factories take intellectual property like paint and valves and sell them with different brand names all the time. I'd also put Crunch above the other three in terms of quality - although it's a low/med pressure whilst the others are mid/high pressure. The other three are much of a muchness, really. Where they are not similar in quality is that the batches can vary pretty wildly in regards to pigment ratios, pressure, actual tones, etc. So that makes them similar to each other in a general sense but often quite dissimilar and and of themselves, if that makes sense. AUD has been hovering around USD$0.92-0.95 for a while, Beltons go for around AUD$12 over here. Fuck that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
