  • having previously cut and made some stencil artwork using halfords carpaint,i always found the results very disappointing.Frankly the paint lacks lustre.Graff artists usually swear by Krylon,although i dont think its available in this country,Belton however is, and its of the highest quality, and comes in 251 different colours.Also, you can buy a selection of different cap sizes to get a finer spray (or thicker if you wish).useful for spraying areas where tubes butt into one another and you need more control and dont want such a thick coat.Changing caps between coats is probably a good idea too,to prevent blocking and uneven spray caused by dried paint in the cap.
    I say all this without having sprayed a frame before,but im stripping one now and hope to commence spraying within about a week.I will be using Belton.i will let you know the results ;)

    Isn't graff paint formulated differently to adhere better to surfaces more commonly painted on such as bricks and concretes? and not so good mo something like a bike frame... Just what I read somewhere.

    Or an oven if you have access, or for the more normal people a greenhouse :) Also worth a look is the rustoleum paints (even b&q stocking it now) as there like plastikote, dry harder and faster and are fairly tough.

    Isn't there something about alot of heat not being good for celluloid paint, and actually resulting in a poorer finish?
