Hi all, i'm considering painting my Subaru pickup with graffiti paint. Trying to search for images in google for this is a pain as you invariably end up with a lot of this:  and very few cars painted a single colour using graffiti paint! I know there's a few guys on here who have used it (Rich, stealthstylz to name a couple), but i've only seen a few cars with it actually applied. Does anyone have some photos of it on cars? Cheers George |

I know you've already seen them but for the purpose of the thread..  Hard wearing and easy to repair when and if damaged..  Cheap and easy. And not shiny. |

Strange, that one came to my mind too   MTN 94 Graffiti paint. Bloody brilliant stuff! Available in about 160 colours, and with a nice fat spray cap, any idiot can paint a car with it - even me! www.mtncolors.com/mtn-94/Because of the exchange rate, buy it from Germany - €3.75 a tin, so about £2.70. Even with postage, it's way cheaper than any UK store. I get my supplies from here: www.graffitiboxshop.de/And yes, they speak English... |

This got me thinking. How many cans of say MTN 94 would it take to do a whole car?
I know in the E55 thread, he had a whole box of them, but he didn't say how much was needed to actually do the car/what was left over.

I'm going to get 6 cans to do my mk3 golf but I'm not painting the roof |

I think it depends on how well you want to paint it.
I have gone through 6 cans so far and have only painted the lower half of my Prelude so far.

But it's a big car and I laid the paint on thick, did all the door shuts etc. Probably get away with 10-12 for your average Golf sized motor. It's a cheap way to paint a car however many you use! |

Depending on how amazing you want it to look and how many coats you give it will determine the number of cans but I painted the disco with 9 iirc, and the finish is still as good as it'll ever be.

I've painted my Rickman 3 times now with mtn Hardcore with the only prep being a flatting with green Scotch pads, panel wipe and a tack rag. I used between 10 and 12 cans each time and the coverage is so good that it only needed one coat.    |

Hmmm I have 8 cans of Montana Black to do my Polo, maybe I need more.
How have people painted. Just nice thick coat or couple of thinner coats?
