Montana Gold Spray Paint

Montana is one of the most recognised and well-respected spray paints on the market. They have just re-launched their vast range of Montana Gold - adding new exciting colours, a bigger range of nozzle widths and new fancy packaging!

Montana provides a specially developed Low-Pressure-System, for maximum accuracy and professional results. The paint is a high quality acrylic lacquer with a matt finish, which is lightfast and can be applied to a variety of surfaces - including flexible surfaces.

To find out what Montana is really like to use, we asked local spray artist Readybreak (aka Matt Barton) to review them for us, and compare them to the other leading brands of spray paint on the market. Matt is a regular Chromos customer and uses Montana in his work.

'Two-tone' Stencil cut out ... before the spraying. Must require a lot of patience!

Here is what Readybreak has to say:


"I have used both Belton Molotow and Montana Gold in my work, and have found the main differences between the two brands are colour range and can pressure. Montana Gold has by far the biggest and most varied colour range, with more tonal shades for each colour (which is great for producing monotone multilayered stencils). Montana also has lower pressure when spraying, allowing more can control - particularly in the thickness of paint being applied. (Belton Molotow cans have a higher pressure so spray thicker and faster, which can be good for covering larger areas quickly but can get messy and be difficult to spray an even layer). Really it comes down to personal preference and what type of work you do. I do a lot of multi-layer stencil work on canvas so I really like the range of colour and the pressure control of Montana Gold. They are not the cheapest spray paint out there, but in my opinion they do offer the best quality and results for work on canvas or board. Also, Chromos often have special offers on and also do good deals on bulk buy, so its worth stocking up a few cans at a time!"
