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!!!

nice little collection!
Always nice to see the way things were.
They look well taken care of too. Very clean collection.
Show some of your dad’s models too.
Whoa… I nearly expected some cans to depict the ‘swiss style’ !
Manor is almost there with univers. just the logo is a bit off…

Toute une époque, héroïque début de mon activité de maquettiste
Le temps passe
sprays datés de 1974 et toujours en état de pulvériser de la couleur
Trouve-t-on encore de nos jours des produits de cette qualité ?
Avouons qu’à l’époque, l’industrie ne se préoccupait pas du tout de pollution ou d’économie durable....
merci Kimou, ces images évoquent tant de chose pour moi.
Ton dad.
