Has anyone here used Kobra? What would it compare to??

Thanks

**BIGMETALCIRCUS** · (#4327)

Its nice, but stay away from the light reds, yellows and oranges.

**HAL** · (#4328)

I thought Kobra was good. The valve is really nice and sensitive.

How does it measure out against the Spanish and German Montanas? Can anyone give a good comparison?

**BIGMETALCIRCUS** · (#4330)

Buy a 6 pack, compare for yourself. The quality is at least good enough that you won't be wasting your money. It is not as good as the Montanas, but its decent, the valve is nice, and most colors cover in one shot.

Has anyone tried mailing paint?

I was thinking of sending to the destination in advance because I can't take it on the plane.

Was thinking of packing it real tight and saying it's media mail with USPS.

Anyone had any experience with this?

**Schnitzel** · (#4333)

nah use the local paint it's always fun to try something new
where are you going?

slyle · (#4334)

I usually do it the other way around. Travel and then ship paint home, but either way.....

Don't ship media rate, they are the ones that get inspected the most, because it is abused all the time. You can legally ship paint if it does not go by air, ie only ground shipping. If you are shipping overseas, people do it, and it does go through, but you are not supposed.

I agree with shnitzel and that is to try local paint, bringing it back to experimentation is always fun.

In 2007 on my trip to Louisiana I bought about 4 cans of Montana Gold and just packed it in my suitcase. They were fine when I got home. But I suggest ground shipping just in case..

Thanks fellas, I'm in NY heading back to the midwest but I don't want to spend money or rack a bunch of paint I already got.

Ground through UPS or USPS?

streetdreamz99 · (#4340)

I'd give it a runtime of 3 months, tops. Make that 1 month for pink and purples. I did a commissioned mural with Ironlak browns that turned grey after 3-4 months. They shouldn't have been so stingy so i could buy MTN 94. That stuff is indestructible.

ramona · (#4342)

im getting spray paint for the first time an im still pretty bad so what should i get if i just want to practice?

YellowFever · (#4343)

Its been said before, the cheapest you can find, use stock caps and just practice. Don't go wasting good paint when your starting out you will regret it later.

SheenOne · (#4344)

i miss this thread so much... it used to be awsome

Kolour by ironlak

SheenOne · (#4346)

SheenOne · (#4347)

OSH TALL BOYS AND ELMERS CAPS FTW

eviltrailer77 · (#4348)

The OSH tall cans have gone the way of the dinosouar round these parts, as well as the silver and gold.

I would use it it's basically 2nd's quality ironlak I used the four cans I bought and never touched it again. Although it may well have changed.. haven't seen it at any paint stores lately

ok guys, I live in far Canada, only things around(less than 30-50km) are a Canadian Tire, a Wal-Mart and a Dollarama.
With these three stores, what's (in your opinion) the best paint I can buy, considering the ratio
price/quality ?
There's like 50 brands at Canadian Tire, and I don't even know if wal-mart or dollarama sells some, just listed them in case

thx
