    Rustos ftw.
    I ordered a shitload of the new Ironlak cans and the Reloads recently. A few of the Reload cans were giving me a real hard time. The cap like popped off 2 cans and paint started spraying out of the valve. The rest worked well though.

    OK.. here is my input.. IRONLAK... by far the best value for the dollar... goes on clean and smooth.. low pressure makes it amazing for piecing... montana is good paint.. but its NOT worth what they charge for it.. i would take ironlak or sabotaz over montana anyday... but REAL *****s learn to piece with Rusto or tremclad... if you cant rock a piece with solid paint like rusto.. you dont deserve to even TRY piecing with a paint designed for graffiti.. that is basically cheating and skipping over Key steps us Real writers go through.. i would take free rusto over ANYTHING paid for..

    not sure where you dudes buy your rusto but thast shit si around 4.99 a can here. so why would i buy new rusto with their weak color selection when i can get ironlak for almost the same price. nothing against rusto but its not worth 5 a can. what do u dudes pay for cnas of rusto?

    the laks use male caps, and for the price of them yes u should just buy em over rustos for great coverage and u can bomb with laks too. i pay 3.95 for a can of rusto and rack a few as well

    rusto around here are 3-4 a can, due to my current situation racking is not an option for me anymorre unless its just easy pens and shit. so ifi can pay 3 for rusto ill just pay another dollar for sabotaz, def my favorite paint. but i actually use a lot of color place, 99 cents, and of course ny fat/thin work fine on them

    i know this is ironlak vs montana, but how would you compare sabotaz to ironlak? lookin to try em out. color place is the shit!! the gray covers really well for only 99cents and there great for fills, usailly do gray fills with ironlak black outlines. works like a charm

    Since 2 years I work as a professional graffiti artist ( meaning nothing more then that it's the only job I have to support my finances). I use both brands; both have their qualities and prices.

    Montana Gold has a wider colour range, which makes it better to use for photorealistic work. It has not such a superior coverage as Ironlak or the Montana Blacks, for use on brick walls without any paint on it it's simply not suitable. If I have to paint on concrete or brick walls, most of the time I use Ironlak: sometimes combined with other brands to gether a wider colour range. Simple graffiti work or abstract work is also just perfect for use of Ironlak.
    Also: in my experience I'd rather save the more expensive products like Montana for projects with a larger budget. Cheap tricks go easy with Ironlak. Any graffiti bombing also...
    But there's just one thing about Ironlak: the smell.... pff gives me headaches

    there very comparable, both very thick and cover extremely well. in my experience ironlak might cover slightly better, and i mean very slightly. the medium pressure valve on sabotaz 80 is sick, put on a gold dot or any skinny cap it feel like a ironlak, use a fat cap it feels more similar to montana hardcore. Sabotaz also seems to dry just a little faster, but it smells fucking awful haha.

    its just a matter of opinion, i personally like ironlak better because its lower pressure but it all depends on what your doing, pieces/wildstyle-ironlak bombs/throwups-mtn
