Montana Cans GOLD Spray Paint, 400ml, Malachite Dark (Model: MXG-G6150)

**Remove Shipping Tip Protection Ring Before Being Enraged That It Is A Defective Can. The low pressure action is superb. I'm painting a delicate 11"x6" wafer thin piece of slatted incredibly soft metal, hanging from a bungee chord for easy painting and minimal contact. It's primed with a gray base. The first coat was the quick-pass light tack coat, just to be safe. The 3rd coat I applied slower and slightly closer and slower. The closer you spray, the stronger effect. I was surprised how incredibly easy it is to use. There is no spitting or gas issues. In Cold Wather: I put the can in a freezer bag and in painters mixing cup with 160° water for at least 5 min. Degrease your project thoroughly, make sure it is as bone dry as possible. *I've noticed primer or paint will crack, wrinkle or repel, if you miss drying the edges, nukes & crannies completely from grease remover before painting. Sand multiple layered primer as multiple layers are prone to pit, peeling & uneven coverage. 600 800 **Check for pigtail swirls and long scratches on your primer. Once you put your first coat of color over primer with deep scratches and swirls, it is IRREVERSIBLE !! I found out the hard way after doing an expensive Candy paint project. *I'm wondering if a gloss clear will ruin the effect. 🤔

As a designer and artist— and a former professional painter, I have painted a lot. I was looking forward to this being a quality product. It was not. I shook the cans longer than the directions called for and maintained a consistent distance while overlapping strokes with proper starts and stops. I wiped the spray tip and shook cans often. The surfaces were prepared properly; cleaned and primed. This paint somehow had inconsistent finishes— some areas were gloss, some were matte, and some were textured— and there were plenty of spatters. I have never used a worse spray paint. I am so disappointed and angry for using this expensive product that ruined the project after all of the money, time, and effort put into it. I will never buy Montana Gold paint again. I am sharing this experience with all of my colleagues and warning you, as a potential buyer, to not buy this product. Do yourself a huge favor and buy anything else.

So, for someone like me who isn't particularly talented as far as spray paint technique, but can read basic details like what color this paint is and that there's a plastic safety ring under the nozzle you need to remove, this has worked surprisingly well. Unfortunately the entire line of Montana Gold spray paint has a much lower overall rating than it deserves because people apparently wanted to spend more money on a higher grade of spray paint, but not read a basic description. This spray paint is much better in terms of level of control and even application versus krylon and rustoleum spray paints in my experience. On my test run, shown in the picture, of what I wanted to use this for ultimately it worked a lot better than I expected. I want to use it to paint a GC controller and first tested it on the back half of one that was a little beat up and in particular the front half was badly cracked so it was no longer a good shell for a GC controller. After the results I got I'll definitely be using on a better shell as it came out great. On the final product I plan on using some hardcore automotive gloss finish to make sure it stays on and not chipped, etc during normal use of the controller. This color (Aqua) is closest I've personally been able to find compared to the "Emerald Blue" official Gamecube controller that wasn't official imported from Japan when it comes to high quality acrylic spray paint(I wouldn't use anything other than acrylic for a controller since I feel other types would to much thickness). Just to note I did first sand down the original controller using 400 grit sandpaper (enough to at least take off the original protective finish) and used white primer before applying this spray paint.

Farbe deckt sehr gut. Sprühverhalten allerdings trotz sachgemäßer Anwendung etwas ungleichmäßig.

Inconsistant finish, dusty in places, smooth in others (matt/satin). Has ruined a costume project and forced me to strip it all back to the surface and re-prime it. Frequently have problems like this with other Montanna-Brand products. Would not recommend for any fine work were finish quality matters.

great paint

Der Farbton ist genau wie oben an der Dose und hat eine sehr gute Qualität und ist sehr schnell trocken und man kann ihn über lackieren bzw nachlackieren. Kam in der angegebenen Zeit an und es war gut verpackt.

Brilliant, great colour
