hotsauceinthedickhole Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 have not touched a can in 10+ years and cannot believe just how much paint you can buy now!. No offence to Ironlak or the people that use it but its crap, I noticed around empty cans of Crunch?. Are there any Sydney heads here that can give a old guy advice on all the new paint out there and the best spots to get it (happy to pay to old to rack LOL) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnitzel Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 if you've not touched a can in 10+ years how do you know ironlak is crap? crunch is simply the old formula ironlak. as for second part try the paint thread 100's of pages of paint discussion.

Walid Jumblat Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Buy online. As another old head that got in to it after 15 or so years break I'd suggest that Ironlak is still a shit tin better than Fiddly Bits and whatever else crap we used to paint with back in the day....., except for Touch Ups and Tuxans. Can't hate on that stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotsauceinthedickhole Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 &Walid Jumblat, Good to see old writers on here, If you are in Sydney the Tempe St Vinnies had Navy blue and red Tuxans for $2!. @Schnitzel, mates tell me its pretty bad. What was the old Ironlak formula like?. What about the new ultra colors there look pretty nice with the female value?. Anyone in Sydney still getting dulux sky blue LOL?

Schnitzel Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Man compared to Touch up and Tuxans ironlak holds up pretty well I think I think people romanticise the old days a bit Old formula Ironlak - was nice but faded really quick New ultracolours- if you can get them cheaper than crunch ironlak - they'd be okay but I think they are a smaller tin (weight). The white sucked the black was comparable to ironlak/crunch \ Dulux sky blue - came up on a box of 6 of the old female valve ones last year and used them up. after 10 years they are pretty sucky. but it was fun since we were doing 90's era sketches so 90's era paint. try 567 king in Newtown HotSauce They have a huge range of paints - pretty staggering really or crockers at Sefton.

hotsauceinthedickhole Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 Thanks for the feedback, I picked up a few cans from around Sydney and had time to give them a go. The new Ultra color have some really nice colors but the paint clogged 16 vegan caps within 20 mintues (all cans started with a fatcap and shaken for a good 5 minutes LOL). This was happerning with 50% of the colors, maybe a bad batch?. Your 100% right I did not realise just how paint some of the paint was we used in the 90's. Where is crockers? Also is there a thread for Sydney cats?

hotsauceinthedickhole Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 I also have seen Sunspots and Super Comments cans around any feedback? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walid Jumblat Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Can't speak for them but I gotta say, I fucking love painting with Aussie export. Whilst some colours, such as the black and the white have worthless coverage other colours like the pinks, blues, purples, etc. are just fine and the style of can brings back awesome memories. 4 for $10 at supercheap at the moment as well. Two of the greys, two pinks and a blue on this were exports. Colours are good and was the most fun I've had painting in ages.
