say your guys at US customs to don’t charge too much, quit the ocean in between us, fix the exchange with dollar for the next years, find us another part-time job and we will be able to reduce the price.
Now seriously, let me know if there is around another brand MADE IN EUROPE and with the same relation quality/price. The price in the US does not depend directly by us, it depends by several factors, some of them mentioned above, we can not change.
What depends by us is giving you a great quality and safe product. We don’t want for you to breathe Toulene, for saving 1$....

I can not argue with you, you have the best product on the market. However I can only speak from a consumer’s point of view. Honestly to paint at a professional level would cost anyone an arm and a leg. This is not just me being cheap. I really do feel if the price was 1 or 2 dollars cheaper every one would benefit including MTN. Every one would purchase way more paint, the quality of work being produced would increase and your customers would be happy to buy your product instead of cursing them self for wanting to do a burner. With every product price point there is a tipping point and you guys are about to hit it if you haven’t had already. I’m not trying to be a jerk, I’m a just telling you what I feel and the sentiment of most of writers I come across in the states.

I really appreciate your critics, since it moves from a constructive point of view. Thanks also for your words about our product.
Montana exists since 1994, as the only independent factory, producing just graffiti products. After 15 years you can see so many brands, but again we are still the ONLY ONE,  proudly producing just for graffiti and surviving by graffiti. It’s our clear target to offer the lower price we can, according with our costs to produce such good quality. In Spain, where we have no customs and no sea freight transport, the Hardcore can is sold at 2,60eur, which is probably the cheapest price for a hi quality cans worldwide. Even in whole Europe we fix the cheapest price, in order to protect the final customer from the speculation of other subjects.
Obviously exporting outside UE means a lot of custom taxes, sea freight transport, long term credits and you know what? much lower profits than selling here in Europe. As you can see, our profits are really far away to be the cause of our price in the US, which is, anyway, lower than all other European brands.
Be sure that if Montana Colors disappears, prices situation will be tragic, as it was before we started, when people had to rack cans.
But until we keep going, our goal is doing our best for everybody to be able to buy the best quality at the best price possible.

hardcore price in mtn shop is 2,70eur, not 2,60 (which was past year)... other shops decide what’s the best price for them, since we can’t force them.
anyway if it seems to you we fool people, please go ahead buying other brands!

Montana Colors is the first and only Graffiti independent company, born in 1994 and keeping going on today, even after the adversities suffered thru the years.
Everything started in Barcelona, in 1994, when, mixing up Jordi & Miquel’s chemist knowledge and all the experience offered by Kapi & Moockie, Montana Colors rose with the first spray can for Graffiti Writers, a 200ml can in 60 colors. The characteristics were the ones which every writer dreamed about, clean lines, good pressure, excellent coverage and a very affordable price.
After that, we kept growing together with Graffiti, developing new technologies, from Hardcore to Alien and MTN 94
15 years later, the target is still the same, working hard for Graffiti writers’ needs, offering top quality paint, complete range of products and colors, the best price possible and a full respect for people and environment.
In our 15th Anniversary, it makes us so glad to join 12oz Prophet with all of you!
Love from Barcelona!
