careful up there.
you can only go on certain hours (thurs/fri/sat 11-5) and you have to walk in and knock on the door to get them to let you in. There's no signs, but you'll recognise it if you walk past because it's got a big peice in the doorway.
if there's people shopping in the main bit you're expected to wait your turn in the waiting room.
if you look like a cop they won't let you in.

newport/ williamstown any idea where a good graf shop around that area is its around melbourne area
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There are 3 in melbourne.
One is below richmond station (just walk out on the swan st side and you'll find it eventually).
GIANT (VA's) is in north melbourne. 192 Dryburgh st. Catch tram 50/57 from elizabeth st to stopp 14 and walk up. It's hard to find (no signs or anything).
OBESE records is somewhere else. I forget where (never been there myself).

thanks a lot man. i think i might try that. so montana cans suck? i always heard they were good and didnt run that bad.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
montana make decitedly average paint, and market it as the best shit in the world. The aerosol art cans are alright (made by the same company), but normal montana cans are shithouse.
spanish montana, however, shits all over it. go get some of that.

There are some alright German Montana cans... you've just gotta stick to the more ugly colours and away from the good ones, really.
Be a real man, get Belton

Export gloss pink > ALL.
it's official. it's thick as shit, doesn't drip at all and has some awesome fucken coverage.
not to mention that pink is the new black, so it's super fashionable.

Hey man, Exports kick ass if you know how to use them. I've actually mixed Dulux into an Export can before because it's got better control and it's the only place I can find a transversal cap 
I've been able to do this same process with a Dy-Mark sprayink can and a Belton RAL can with a tool made from 2 pen tubes (a standard tubing from a Bic and another from one of those big-ass gel pens) stuck inside of one another, then glued together. The fat tube fits around the male valve nicely, and as with always the other fits into the valve of the female. Basically a plastic version of what you bought, and definately good for skummy pricks.
Oh, and Montana blues suck arse. THey've got dope reds and shit, but the blue/green range is terrible. Why I stick to mostly Belton/Hit Color/Aerosol Arts for anything these days
Not a bad tute, Marc
