    "dollar can bombing" in the UK

    the term is what it is, being bale to buy cans of spray paint for a dollar, but i was wondering if theres anywhere in the Uk that sells cans of spray paint for a pound? (£)??? i went into 3-4 different shops that i could imagine selling spray paint, and imagined it would be like £3 which i guess i wouldnt mind, but no, instead its £5 for some medicore spray paint when i can buy actualy graff paint with that apart from i cant cos no where locally stocks it.

    so back to the question again, have you guys in the UK found anywhere where you can get £1 (or similar priced) paint?

    I got some shit from Halfords a while back called Color Match for 1.50 each reduced but the colour selection was lacking, ended up with a few decent navy blue cans since all the others were just shitty grey and murky colors. There's also that Auto Extreme shit but thats £3 a can and you can get Mtn Speed for the same price up here.

    Alfreshco are free next day delivery on orders over £75. No idea on Illuminarty stuff. I Just go my local shop in Liverpool now a days, or alfreshco if its a big wall and need specific colours. Alfreshco's in Cambridge if your down south ways, Kak works there too, so always worth a visit for a chat and a brew, ha

    yeah i usually have to travel an hour or so to get montana (bus then two metros) - worth it though since its on one of the most common lines for graff so theres always new shit on the tracksides plus it gives the opportunity to get up in places i usually wouldnt be at (im from up north uk, newcastle-ish area)


    i ordered from alfreshco a while back, think i got four cans a few markers/refills and it was £6 next day although its free shipping over £75 so it'd probably be better to buy a decent amount of cans in one go and get free shipping as opposed to buying a few at a time and wasting on shipping

    i see you skate too, rad

    man if theres any dollar store around they might have them. also the Spanish montana paint company offers like super mini cans, legit you could fit them into a sock. but you might have to order those unless they sell it where you live.

    yeah i know about the mini cans i have (used up) 2 mini montana black cans i got for free haha, but the postage is £8 which is worth more than the can so fuck that

    yeah alfresh seems pretty tight, nice prices unlike graffcity which is pricey, was gonna order some more caps but £6 for like 10 caps sorta sucks :(

    yo wheres the graff shop in liverpool cos im going to liverpool again with the college soon so ill pop into there and lost art :p

    Lost art has moved to slater street now, and Zap (Liverpool Graff shop) is in Oldham place, not far from where lost art used to be.

    I got some of that last week, wasn't too bad actually aside from the female caps. 300ml and decent for throwups, think I got 6 or 7 out of two cans (two filled and the rest were hollow); would rather stick to decent stuff, noticed Wilkinsons had some Painters Touch/Rusto in the weirdest colours aka gold, fluorescent pink and fucking glow in the dark. racked the pink and it was pretty nice.
