What brands of spray paint and markers do you stock?
For spray paint, we stock all the major graffiti brands, including Montana Black, Montana Gold, MTN, LOOP, TAG and Belton. For markers and pens, we stock Molotow, Grog, Krink and POSCA, plus refills, caps, nibs and protective equipment. Browse the full range in our Spray Paint and Markers collections.
Do you sell fine art supplies too, or just graffiti/spray paint?
Both. Alongside our graffiti and spray paint range, we stock a full line of fine art supplies for painters and illustrators — acrylic paint, oil paint, watercolours, artist brushes and brush sets, canvases and paint boards, palette knives and paper & pads. See everything in our Fine Art collection.
What’s the best spray paint for beginners?
Montana Gold is a great starting point — it’s a medium-pressure paint with one of the largest colour ranges available (200+ shades), which makes it easier to control for detail work, blending and learning technique. Montana Black is a high-pressure paint built for fast coverage and bold lines, and tends to suit writers who are already comfortable controlling flow and overspray. Read our full Montana Gold vs Black vs TAG vs MTN guide for a detailed comparison.
What’s the difference between Montana Black, Montana Gold, MTN and TAG?
Montana Black is a high-pressure, matt-finish paint designed for fast coverage and bold, confident lines. Montana Gold is a medium-pressure, high-pigment paint with the largest colour range of the three, popular for detail, blending and beginners due to the extra control. MTN (Montana Colors) spray paints, including MTN 94, are a reliable, affordable all-rounder with consistent flow. TAG is an Italian-made spray paint and has the mattest, flattest finish of all the brands we stock — a good choice when you want zero shine and solid, even coverage. See our full brand comparison guide for more detail.
How do I know which caps or nibs fit my marker or can?
Caps and nibs are matched to specific paint systems and marker models — for example, certain caps only fit Montana or MTN cans, and certain nibs only fit Molotow, Grog or Krink markers. We list compatible cans/markers in the description of every cap and nib product. Read our Caps & Nibs beginner's guide for the full breakdown, or tell us what you’re working with and we’ll confirm before you order.
How much spray paint do I need for a mural?
As a rough guide, one can covers roughly 1–2m² of solid fill, so a large mural can use 40–100+ cans once you factor in outlines, layering and detail. See our full spray paint coverage guide for a size-by-size breakdown.
Do you deliver UK-wide, and how much does it cost?
Yes, we ship across the UK, with free shipping on all orders over £70. See our Shipping Policy for full delivery details and costs on smaller orders. You’re also welcome to order online and collect in person from our Gateshead shop — just get in touch to arrange it.
Is there an age restriction on buying spray paint?
Yes. Under the Anti-social Behaviour Act 2003, it is a criminal offence to sell aerosol paint to anyone under the age of 16 in England and Wales, and we apply the same standard to aerosol products. There's no age restriction on our other products, such as fine art supplies, markers and accessories. We may ask for proof of age online or in-store for aerosol purchases.
What’s your returns policy?
