Montana Hardcore rattle can spray paint

[rrb124@sbcglobal.net]

Saw this and the unusual color availability and bought my first can and will try it out this weekend if weather is okay. Anyone have experience with this?

Never heard of it.

Keep us updated.  I'm very interested in the results. Montana offers several colors I've been wanting to try.

Supposed to be top notch, weather resistant stuff. Mural artists use it, and you usually find it sold by art supply sources.

Okay, here goes on the Montana Hardcore rattle can after a little time working on it:

Bought at the chain Ace Hardware about $6.

Haranga Orange.

It markets it self as for large art displays and graffiti artists. Nothing on the can or site about appropriate surfaces.

Temp was 71F and 26% humidity.

Sprayed over non primed white model car hood and it smelled a lot like a lacquer but was thick like enamel. Very opaque. Almost a grainy appearance.

After 24 hrs I tried rubbing the single coat out with Mequire's mirror glaze 205 ultra finishing polish with a cotton terry rag. No. real improvement.

After 24  more hours same materials. No real improvement

After 24 more hours same material, a bit better.

I guess it is more Enamel than anything else and I have rushed it. I like the price, opaqueness and variety of colors but have been spoiled by Tamiya rattle cans. I don't have the patience now to correctly deal with slow drying paint.

Hope this helps those interested.

If it is marketed for graffiti then I expect that paint to be rather viscous and very opaque. 1-coat coverage!  It will also adhere to pretty much any surface.  Just look around you - graffiti is everywhere on everything.
