The 15 Best Spray Paint Brands Available In America.
15. Krylon
To
be frank; today’s Krylon Multi Purpose aerosol spray paint covers
poorly. 15 years ago; Krylon would have made #2 on this list. Over the
years, instead of catering to artists, the Sherwin-Williams company
(Krylon’s parent company) decided to shun the Street art community and
cater to D.I.Y.‘ers and craft enthusiasts, and they even have created a
program called ”Graffiti Hurts”. Graffiti Hurts is a graffiti abatement
program which encourages working with police to stop illegal art before
it happens, and is “designed to address the growing graffiti problem in
urban areas and small towns”. A few years back, Krylon changed its valve
system to a male valve rendering the spray far less controlled and less
clean overall.
Krylon retails for around $3.99 per can at Walmart (price varies per store) and is still widely available in many Paint & Hardware Stores across the United States. If Krylon is all that you have; it can get your message across, however it is not even in the same ballpark of what it used to be.

14. Plutonium
Both Jerry's Artarama and the Canadian site Curry's,
each recommended on the Plutonium Paint website as the major American
and Canadian retailers, list the price as $12.99 per can. I managed to
get a couple of cans “on sale” for 9.79 each--shipping not included!
Plutonium is the brand on this list that I am the least familiar with,
and I have to say, it actually seems like a really good paint. It smells
refreshingly nice and it covers remarkably well. Plutonium is a nice
and thick, environmentally friendly, American-made spray paint. It also
has a ''Anti-Gravity Valve'' that ensure the ability to spray paint from
the can from any angle. But while keeping the price point in mind, the
limited color range, and the fact that only Plutonium caps seemed to
work with the paint ( .75 cents each), your money or your racking
ability are most certainly better spent on any other brand of paint on
this list.
13. Kobra
The unfortunate thing about Kobra is that it is really not readily available in America. The Kobra website
does not list an American distributor, however I found a limited stock
at AllCity, but unfortunately the good folks there seem to be busy
promoting their own house brand. The valve on Kobra cans is real nice
and soft, and the matte paint dries super fast. Kobra is a mid-grade
designer spray paint. It has a middle range pressure system, but
unfortunately it also casts a bit of undesired overspray with typical
caps. All things considered; Kobra seems like a really good subway train
paint. Unfortunately, that is not the typical use for the average
American artist. Hopefully one day soon Kobra spray can make a few
slight upgrades and increase it’s American presence and better challenge
the middle slots of this list.

12. All City
All
City brand spray paint is a promising new brand made by the LA
Underground Hip-Hop shop in Albuquerque, NM. All City is available in 43
colors in both glossy and matte finishes, which is pretty awesome
because the difference between the sheen makes the brand seem like it
has double the amount of colors. All City 11 oz. cans retail for $3.99
each plus shipping. The cans feature a low-pressure smooth valve system
just short of Ironlak cans. All City is starting to slowly expand with 2
new stores and new colors promised soon.
11. Evolve
Evolve
Spray Paint is very similar to All City paint only its significantly
more established with a top-notch sponsored demonstration team, and 87
vibrant colors. Evolve Spray Paint is flat finished and it retails for
$4.00 plus shipping and handling at the 004 Connec
website. Like the All City brand, Evolve is also a spray paint that is
manufactured in China, and like the All City brand; it seems a bit less
“evolved” than the original Chinese paint; Ironlak. With that being
said, Evolve is a very decent, reliable paint, and its available for a
fair price.
10. Flame
Flame
spray paint is the brand new Chinese manufactured spray paint line from
Molotow. Flame is only available in 40 gloss colors currently, and it
retails for $4.49 per can plus shipping and handling at Art Primo.
The price of Flame is slightly more than that of it’s competitors in
the “Ironlak-knock-off” race, but it is the brand that seems to be the
most overall similar to Ironlak. Molotow is well versed in the
intricacies of making spray paint, so it will be interesting to see how
this brand develops moving forward.

9. Clash / Beat
Clash
and Beat spray paints are made by the same company in Italy but for two
different purposes under two different labels. Clash is a medium
pressure, highly opaque paint line and Beat is a low pressure line, both
are available in 130 colors, and both use the standard European valve
system. Both spray paints are designed for graffiti and graffiti art,
but they come with a stock tip that is not up to today’s cap quality
standards.
Clash seems like the better over-all brand of the two, Its an all-around paint that in some ways feels like a cheap MTN that dries a bit quicker but its nowhere near as sophisticated. Just as a heads-up; Clash has this annoying ring that gets in the way of painting sometimes and is quite hard to remove. Clash retails for $4.75 before shipping, and its available at 004 Connec.
Beat paint is very thick and it is a low pressure spray; but those two characteristics do not necessarily equate to opaque and quality lines. Its retails for $5.95 plus... you guessed it: shipping! Clash is available at ArtPrimo.com.

8. Sabotaz
Sabotaz
80 is a good quality spray paint at an affordable price. When Sabotaz
was first imported into America some years back, it was a crappy spray
paint that would have had trouble making this list. Cosmos Lac;
Sabotaz’s parent company continues make upgrades on the spray’s formula.
A new brand of Sabotaz 80 called Sigma 80 should make it to the States
by late summer. Initial tests have Cosmos Lac and their artists hailing
Sigma as good as or better than MTN 94, but I’ll believe it when I see
it.
Meanwhile, as far as the quality of the current Sabotaz spray paint goes; If Molotow’s Belton and German Montana brand spray paints had a baby, Sabotaz would be the “Walgreens” generic brand located on the same shelf. Possible side effects may include occasional flaking on certain surfaces.
Sabotaz comes in 120 colors and is available in a matte finish. Oinkartltd is the official distributer of Sabotaz in the United States, but it appears as though Oink is currently out of stock. It usually sells for around $4.00 a can.

7. Kilz
Kilz
White Primer Sealer Stain-blocker Spray Paint is quite possibly the
single best spray paint on this list. Unfortunately, It only comes in
one color; White. If you are out illegally bombing and regularly using
something other than Kilz to fill in; your either toy, privileged, or
you have already done financially made it!

6. Fresh Paint
Fresh Paint is a new American matte finish brand, the brainchild of Oink Art.
The viscosity of Fresh Paint is nearly identical to that of Ironlak and
all of the look alike brands, although Fresh paint currently has a much
more limited color chart. Upon initial results, fresh paint colors seem
to hold up longer than Ironlak, but only after more time passage and
proof can it be said with certainty. However the #1 selling point of the
young Fresh Paint brand is its $2.95 price, making it by far the
cheapest of the quality spray paints available in America.
5. Rustoleum
Rustoleum
is still a pretty damn good spray paint. It holds up on freight trains
for a really long time, its great for bombing, and if your the criminal
minded type; it’s free. If, by chance, you feel the need to be told how
Rustoleum could possibly be free or where one could find Rustoleum;
please stop reading this, seriously.
A few years back, Rusto’ switched their caps to an all-male system, and most of the older cans that were still in stores have been swooped up by the cool rap-letter sprayers. In other words, Rustoleum is a bit less customizable without the use of a separate cap adaptor; available here.

Ironlak
Ironlak
is the premier Chinese made, very high pigment paint. The paint is
thick and its reasonably priced. Ironlak has some of the World’s
greatest artists on their sponsorship team.
Back when Ironlak debuted, it was the cutting edge of Graffiti technology. In the time since, many companies have tried to imitate them and yet Ironlak is still the king of Chinese paint for now. ‘Lak has unprecedented cap compatibilities and an awesome valve. The colors are screaming vibrant and the black and the white cans are unbelievably good. However, the valve, and the thickness of the paint does tend to clog caps and cans on occasion.
In the past couple of years, Ironlak has begun to drip ever so slightly. It is note-worthy, because originally you could spray Ironlak at the same spot on a wall for a real-time 20 seconds and the pigments would just build-up in that one spot with zero drips at all. Also personally; I can’t stand the dodgy vanilla scent, but its just a matter of preference, and some artists absolutely love it.
Ironlak is made for graffiti and art, and it is awesome spray paint. Ironlak’s only real flaw is certain color’s tendency to fade in a short period of time.

3. Belton / Molotow
Molotow’s
Belton brand spray is one of best paints there is. Many writers and
artists consider it the best. Made in Germany, with the help of artists,
Belton set the standard for it’s pressure sensitive valve system.
Belton also has some of the highest grade pigment making the paint
completely opaque, consistent, and vibrant. The Premium line is low
pressure and contains more than 251 colors making it the largest color
scale available in an individual spray paint brand. Belton also has an
“Action-line” of high-pressure paint, which is the premier bombing paint
of it’s kind.
The Molotow website describes the High pressure line as “smooth,high coverage and fat! These products are dedicated to fulfill huge surfaces in a fast way.” I couldn't have written it better. Unfortunately, Belton is not widely available, and it is rather expensive at $5.95 plus shipping from Art Primo.

2. MTN
The
original Montana a.k.a. Spanish Montana; or MTN is as good as spray
paint gets and is the premier spray paint brand for solid quick
coverage. The Hardcore line is a nice consistent high pressure gloss
finish, and its available in a wide selection of vibrant colors.
"Hardcore 2" is highly anticipated and it is soon to hit the American
market, promising to be a quicker drying, high gloss, and high pressure
line with 88 total colors, 45 of which are new to the MTN brand.
MTN's 94 line available in 147 colors, is the perfect compliment to the Hardcore line with it's lowered pressure, matte finish, and the 9 step chromatic color gradations. If I had to "pick the fly-shit out of pepper"; the only drawback to the 94 brand is it's tendency to leave a very slight overspray on clean lines.
The MTN Colors site took me to this site to shop—but the prices are incredibly expensive. I usually am able to score MTN for around $4-5 dollars per can. For the price and its premium quick quality effectiveness the MTN lines are definitely one of the two best spray paints readily available in America today.

1. Montana
Montana
spray paint is the best paint in the world. Montana is the winner of a
close race; the price points keep MTN right there neck and neck to the
end, but Montana Black and Gold spray paints are without a doubt the top
dogs, the finest spray paint available. Montana is a super opaque
lacquer spray paint with excellent fade and line capabilities. Its
widely available for a wide range of pricing. ere's even a budget White
line Montana brand, but that's not what pushed Montana to the top of
this list. MacPherson's
lists the Gold line at an unbelievably high price ($10.00+), but it is
possible to get a much better deal if you look and ask around. Both Gold
and Black are weather-proof paints that function in any weather.
The Gold Montana is a low pressure, quick drying, high end spray paint. Gold Montana comes in 204 eye popping colors and offers outstanding line quality.
Montana Black is a 136 color high pressure line from Montana. Its very low-scented, rapid drying, and its perfect for applying paint quickly and consistently. The only bad thing I can say about “German” Montana other than the price is that you really have to shake it well, and I mean well, as in; “I think I have tennis elbow” well. Now go get some of these paints and try them out for yourself!
