Hey... Searched the forum and cant find a thread with what im about to ask.... does anyone here know a cheap place for spray cans (except for halfords) as im going to be practice painting, and i want some cheap spray paint to practise with, i dont feel like spraying a £5 can to practise with Even if its just a place with - black,primer,laquer that'll be fine. Thanks, c_d
Have you tried ebay there might be a bulk load or something that would go for next to nothing - most likely.
Yeh, i dont want a job lot, just somewhere like sub <£3 a can. Its just for practise, so dont want the cans to be expensive. Black | Primer | Clear Laquer Are what im looking for
Okay thanks guys, after searching for about 2-3 hours last night, it ends up halfords being cheaper with their 3 for 2 deal. Reason being, most online stores have cheap cans, but the delivery is high going above what halfords would actually cost. hopefully this thread wont be a waste of time, and will help and uk'er searching for spray paint that halfords is the cheapest store for spray paint.
but it REALLY isnt just because theyre 3 for 2 deal is on, you still end up spending alot to get a little cheapest PLACE in the UK to get spraypaint is trago mills, black/clear laquer/primer @ 1.35 for a large can, compared to the £4+ for that of halfrauds... plus i dislike halfords paint only time i reccomend buying paint from halfords is if you want to a coloured spray job the downside of trago is that they dont offer many colours, some places only do black/primer/laquer.
any where is that exactly? If you can point me to the online store where i can order from then that will be great, because im only after - black,primer,laquer. £1.35 for a can is a great price to practise with.
info on trago mills site: http://www.trago.co.uk you have to go there...no online shopping great place though, i have been to the Newton Abbot one
Im sticking my hand up for Halfords, I know it aint cheap but Ive bought cheap paint before for £1 a can from Poundland and it simply isnt up to the job. The paint runs and the nozzle is extremely bad and leads to "splatter" effect which intails a crap paint job. The halfords stuff covers evenly has a good nozzle and the finish of the paint is very good for bare Alu case. Also Halfords sell Plasti Kote paints which are well know to be verry good.
most small automotive spares shops have a bargain bucket with odd spray cans in em , and also the bargain buckets in b & q have em too if its only to practice im assuming you dont mind the colour
I say halfords too. I once had to paint the centre caps on my RS4 Alloys and was quite supprised to see that the paint actualy stayed on for a couple of thousand miles and numerous jet washes, not bad imho. Tis quite expensive though.
Paint is so expensive there! It's about 60p here! *does not look forward to moving to a Western country*
Have you tried asking around with your mates? Chances are someone you know has a few cans cluttering up their garage, I know I have
theres a shop that sells spay cans tailored for grafiti in leyton, or atleast they used to when i worked there, i think its about £3 a can but top quality stuff and alot of colours. dont know if the paint they sell is diffrent to the paint you get in places like halfords but i think it is, anyway the shop is skaters paradise on leyton highroad
for a massive selection of colors (all you could want) graff paint is the way to go; durability wise, well it sticks to walls for time (until it gets buffed by the council) anyways: google: monstercolors, valley of chrome, the layup all pretty good, bout £2.50 a can, delivery a bit of a pain
Nah my mates wouldnt have any spray cans laying about :/ Yeh delivery is the main price killer, after delivery it makes halfords cheaper by a few quid. Every time I go into bnq they never have anything like that, must be my b&q because alot of people reccomend bnq for quite alot of stuff (acrylic etc) and mine is either a total rip off or doesnt have it... Guess i'll have to practise with the halfords paint then, now i just gotta look for a case to do it on
