My dad sent me few month ago some great photos of vintage spray cans. My pops is a scale model maker and architect for the past 40 years. Back in the day he used to paint a lot of his models with spray paint. He moved from cans to airbrush and other techniques less polluting the past 2 decades. The good and bad thing about my dad is that he can’t throw anything away from his studio… He found in his painting cabin this great selection of vintage spray cans all from 1974 to 1988… Still ready to spray. As you might know, I am from Switzerland and some of those cans were only available in stores in Switzerland. That’s why they might look obscure to you. Thanks again pops!!!

They look well taken care of too. Very clean collection.
