graffiti paint. my favorite for spraying general things would be montana 94.. its low pressure (most are high pressure cans), way more uv resistant than anything else, as well as far more durable.

its also extremely hard to mess up. you can see self level while its drying out.. where as krylon/rusto will just run.

If I'm not very much mistaken, that's a Troy Lee paintjob isn't it?

Try specialist paints ( www.specialistpaints.co.uk ) as they do 2k paint in cans, it's proper paint not the piss weak stuff you get usually in an aerosol. They also do cans of 2k primer which is superb, metal flake, flip paint, pearls & candies. Their products are excellent.

Yes it is. It was a b-day gift from my wife. No way I could draw lines that smooth.

@pimpin, not sure if the 'piss weak' comment was directed towards me (seeing as how you quoted me). But graffiti spray paint is anything but 'piss weak'.

Nah I was referring to the sort of shit we get in cans in the uk.
