i dont know about yall but i would shell out a few more bucks with no hesitation to have those cans sitting on my bookshelf, even the regular cans look fresh.

the only time when this becomes a problem is when the colors of the LE cans arent available in regular cans as stated by someone up there.

that being said, im expecting my first ironlak cans later this week. i ordered lil laks only because i didnt have enough dough for 6 full sized cans, but still.

samdrake123 · (#727)

I wanted to get the lil laks when they had them in all those diff. colors, but i missed out. unless some other site still has them in colors other than black and white.

*QUESTION FOR IRONLAK*

I just saw on Oinkart a new "*NEW* 500ml TAR BLACK". Is this actually the bitumen/tar like in the Molotow Coversall? or is it just a larger can of black paint?

**acer910** · (#728)

yea i saw after i placed my order that they used to come in smurf and stuff. was kinda pissed but not really

and not to be a downer, but if you live in the US id just stick with rustos "professional" flat black, its ~635ml and has a decent amount of bitumen. covers great, high pressure and for the same price as Ironlaks 500ml. just wait till ironlak comes out with a 650ml can because i know its in the works...

and samdrake, are you the one who im expecting a package from? i know the dudes sn starts with a s....

samdrake123 · (#729)

Yeah, good call. I've been hearin' about the 650ml cans and I can't wait to finally see them.

haha yes, thats me. I am sending this week. Sorry for the delays!

**acer910** · (#730)

yea if they go for under 6.50 and come in a decent array of colors then il be all over those fuckers.

its cool man, you have my new address right?

samdrake123 · (#731)

yea, I have faith that they'll bring out a nice color line with them.

Yeah, I got it, I'll send it asap this week

**acer910** · (#732)

as long as theres a nice blue yellow red green and purple.

Stylefive & rorucega,

You raise some good points, but we think that your argument should be more directed at major corporations that exploit Graffiti and make money from using it to sell their non Graffiti related products.

We're a very small company started by writers and still employing writers, we make our products for writers and give a lot back to Graffiti in general, through free paint, sponsorships and affordable quality tools for writers. We're not perfect but we definitely make an effort not to exploit or abuse Graffiti as a culture its something we're passionate about and participate in.

Thanks

i really badly need a job, feel free to hire me

plenty of graffiti companies hire people who use the internet. i know this from experience.

Ironlak, if any culture is being appropriated for profit it's being exploited, doesn't matter whether they are big are small - however yeah you're a much smaller player at the moment and you have given back a fuckload to the culture.
When will you're can's have a magnetic mixing pea?(your pre-chinese cans did)..It's the only thing letting it down really

ephect · (#738)

yea, and when will you start making ironlak flame throwers? those were dope

**acer910** · (#739)

were?^

get off their nuts, you act like its supposed to be the god of all paints. for 3.50 a can i think its pretty damn impressive how high quality it is. who cares if the ball isnt magnetic.

some kid said today.. 'ironlaks in league with the fuzz, why else would the stank be so strong 2 days after it dries, unless you wanted the police to know where the fresh paints at'
i said probably not, but the smell is disgusting

**acer910** · (#741)

it doesnt matter if they know where the fresh paint is at...

Tell that kid his a fucking retard.

**acer910** · (#743)

bruce willis is "stupid" in that movie^

thereya go, just ruined it for you.

and besides, if ironlak was in cahoots with the cops thered be a rfid chip in every can and ironlak would be getting mad grant money from the cops.

you're right, the only thing that lets down the quality of the paint is the fact that the can makes noise when you shake it

would you like someone to paint for you aswell and tuck you into bed sugar?

the kid who said that probably likes the smell and taste of petrol and lead paint cocktails.

What about jobs in the US? Eh?

i've only read about 10 responses in this thread but i just want to add this:

i finally broke down and bought a few cans. it seems like a lot of their colors are hit or miss. reef (weird blue) covers great and looks awesome, gangrene (well.. green) is like thick water, autumn is thick but doesn't cover THAT well, haven't tried flirt (pink) yet, and they had 500ml cans of tar black for a lower price than the regular 400ml? so i got 2 of those. they cover pretty well if you aren't moving too quick with it.

as for the smell.... holy fucking shit. i just sprayed a tiny bit in my basement to see how the colors looked and i ended up wearing my respirator around the house the rest of the night. i don't see how people could like that. even when i tried it outside i found myself holding my nose because it was so awful.
