Paint spray advice?, by skylarkin on Jun 4, 2008 11:32:09 GMT 1, Hi All,
Wonder if you can help? Have created some designs for a forth coming project. It should arrive in 2 months screaming and shouting and I have created some prints that I want to convert to nursery stencils.
(Not being happy with the fluffy trite that is out there I thought I would have a go at knocking up a few of my own).
My thoughts were going along the path of looking at getting them screen printed. But as some of them are using up to 4-5 colours I think this is going to be way to expensive. (any idea how much a screen print is to get created at the mo out of curioisty?)
This then led to the thought of sod it, just do a spray paint stencil onto canvas. In which case I would need some non toxic paints. Can the hive offer any advice on the pro's and cons of different paint sprays? Pref along the lines of toxicity and what to stear clear of.
Any recommends would be greatly appreciated.
cheese then

Paint spray advice?, by stickitup on Jun 4, 2008 14:03:12 GMT 1, best bet for the most non toxic of paints (although it is still not a good idea to eat it) is a paint called marabu buntlack, you get it in the london graphic centre and its pretty damn expensive. its what is usually used if polystyrene is sprayed so that the polystyrene doesn't melt. all others have lots of dangerous thinners and toxic stuff in.

i doubt youll get far on the streets or get the spray paint finish without using proper spray paint.
