Where have all the cheap spray cans gone? I've been looking around for some cheap spray paint to paint the inside of my garage Lately and I've looked at lots of places where they used to have them and I can't find them at all. Any ideas?

because the law now is they need to be under lock and key and you have to over 18 to purchase them.
cheep shops would then have to buy lockable cages..

or do what cal did when he painted his car, went to the guy that looked like the biggest dope, and had a carton and he scanned the barcode on the carton, comes up as 1 can (2.50), and got the whole carton for that

I see. I will look eagerly out for these cheap sales. And curse the spray paint laws.

I got a 12 pack of Matte Black Odd Jobs for $50, through the rep that comes around to my dad's workshop. Quality is way better than Export.

i always found lighter colours for export were shithouse. The chromes, matte blacks, sky blues and alike were pretty decent for the price..

I stopped using Ironlak when they shipped the manufacturing to china... Apparently the valves don't bleed all over your hands anymore though, which is a plus..

If its a black plastic bumper you can usually use tire shine to make it shiny again. You will have to spray it every few weeks but it looks a lot better than a crappy paint job.
