    You can get dulux which is fairly good from bunnings fairly easily. Get one of them green 'eco' bags nd go to the paint section and load it up when theres no one looking. Dulux purple is fairly fresh. Walk out into the gardening section and jump the fence. Exports are shitty but they do the job. Chromes are actualy pretty good for fills, i still use them for my pieces and the gloss black is alright. exports are best for bombing. you can fill quick with the fan nib if you turn it and then use a sek adaptor with a ny fatty for the outline. you can get about 4-5 throwwies rockin with one tin of chrome and one of black.
    As for racking them...you can get them pretty easy from any asian store. just gotta be quick and smart about it

    Never seen dulux cheap. It's always expensive here.

    Export go on sale quite often at places like Autobarn, Chickenfeed (sometimes) and Auto Repairs..And usually the deals are for x amount of cans will cost you $ and you save some money.

    Yeah WD Caps are great for exports, Glen 20 Desanitizar caps go well too, give a great outline cap and if anyone's tried Art primo's fat cap, they're great for flaring and filling. By The way, has anyone tried the Gloss White Export? 80% of the time it clogs up.

    FUCK!!! Exports are dope for hold back outline sharp lines, otherwise they are good for wild style bombing, fills on the other hand, you will need a converter from male to female to get a fat cap on that male can. If you're keen for a rack, go to bunnings super hardware warehouse, the place is well dope for a rack and run. if you want to be skilled at this rack, find some ones receipt and take some of those fucking cans back and get some fucking cash, they got some good stupid hardware ranges their which is good for all sorts of skill arrangements, if you want to get a fucking shit hoe ass job and buy cans like ironlak from a store, You are not even fucking trying, it's like giving a toy an ironlak and making think they got skill cause it was just given to them by default of the style that ironlak application works. If you really want to get better in australia, you cant just rely on just one brand.

    I've used brake cleaner, ironing starch and degreaser for caps on export, comes out alright, but that shit runs out really fast, and it varies a lot with can to can, some brake cleaner caps will come out really nice, and others just piss paint all over the shop.

    it was alright paint, it was kinda like ironlak but not as thick. a bit cheaper than ironlak too about $5 a can, and they also made them huge stomper cans as well. great for bombing

    i dunno if this has already been said.. but with the stock cap if you just want a dot and not calligraphy just shave off the small little dimoand on the red bit of the cap. it makes a nice circle and could help if using it for an outline.

    I use export alot for fills and what not but lately ive been doing all export pieces and burners using a female fat cap. Its a very nice cap and doesnt really come out that fat on exie, but it does the job. I would definitely try them out if you wanna do some good shit with aussie export.

    Hey, right after I moved to New Zealand, I wanted to get some cans. Like most of you here, faced the limited stock so I started experimenting with matching caps to the cheapest option - the exports. I began by slicing the diamond off from the original cans, then I tried super gluing the male nozzle to the female one. Result: a scary Frankenstein. We all know those whose careers ended after they emptied their first marker.

    I've been in the game for over ten years now, so I invested and ordered an uprok adapters, but one I lost and one has been stolen not long after. My endless passion led me to design my own adapter and build it to last.

    I designed, tested, and approved an alloy adapter. Yes, it's inspired by brothers from the USA. Frankly speaking, the shipping from there is way too expensive.

    I machined a couple of spare adapters and they all are suitable for the Exports, CRC, and Fiddly Bits (so far, not interchangeable with Rusto). If you would like to get one, hit me up here or on Instagram (same name as here).
