COLOR SYSTEM
The Montana GOLD color system has been completely overhauled and optimized by artist‘s and laboratory experts to make it perfect. Some existing colors have been replaced and improved, while new colors have been added to optimize color values and achieve a flowing color range.
SHOCK colors: For some consumers "less is more". So to avoid being overwhelmed the Montana GOLD Shock range was developed as a mini Montana GOLD assortment with the only the most high covering colors within these color scales chosen. This system became so popular that it also extended to some of the water based Montana ACRYLIC ink markers and refills making possible to use strong opaque colors in more mediums.
CLASSIC colors: Back in the days before manufacturers created high opacity spray paint for the specific use of graffiti art or Urban art, there were a few "classic" colors that were the preference of many street based artists. Normally chosen for their opacity or color impact, the Montana GOLD line has adopted a special place within the color range for these historical colors.
PROCESS colors: Inspired by the CMY color properties used in the printing industry, the CMY colors are powerful colors bound to draw attention to what ever they are applied on.
FLUORESCENT colors: famous for being able to glow under UV light. This is no exception with the Montana GOLD Fluorescent range. For best results we recommend fluorescent colors to be applied to pre-primed, dry white surfaces (e.g. Shock White i.e.). This will increase luminosity and improve coverage. Applying Montana GOLD clear coats will offer greater UV protection however may hinder the fluorescent effect slightly. In general fluorescent colors are less lightfast and not resistant to the elements. They are not abrasion proof like other Montana GOLD color shades.
CHROME EFFECT colors are achieved by having the metallic pigment particles located on the surface of the object you are spraying. This is achieved by the lacquer remaining "open" so that light can shine and reflect off these particles. However this results in chrome effect cans being less weather resistant and not abrasion proof. Finger marks may occur if handling chrome effect sprayed items. Applying Montana GOLD clear coats make the paint appear less shiny and prevent it from reflecting light as efficiently as prior to the clear coat application.
TRANSPARENT colors: The Montana GOLD range has 9 transparent color shades to compliment the existing Transparent Black and Transparent White. The new shades enable users to achieve greater visual depth and tonal variation. Also perfect in combination with colors close to the transparent tone, to achieve simple or complex gradient shifts and give dimension. Apply thinly or in multiple layers for perfect fading or shadows.

Why Montana GOLD? What is the difference between Montana GOLD and other paints?
Montana GOLD is the premium, high quality, low pressure aerosol paint for all artistic, creative or general DIY projects. With a unique and extensive color range (plus additional Effect/Technical and specialty sprays), the Nitro Acrylic paint base offers extremely high coverage and color vibrancy with the flexibility to combine mediums with other materials. Montana GOLD is easy to use, perfect handling for experienced or in-experienced users with a long lasting result that is second to none. How do I start using my Montana GOLD can? Remove the spray nozzle and turn the can upside down. Strike with your palm allowing safety ring to fall out. Shake vigorously for 2-3 minutes ensuring you can hear the mixing balls moving freely. Replace the cap back onto the top of the can valve and trigger away from substrate to test. If flowing freely you can start painting.
Is Montana GOLD acrylic?
Montana GOLD is a solvent based, nitro-acrylic paint. The solvents evaporate rapidly once applied leaving an acrylic paint layer behind once dry. What is Low Pressure? Montana GOLD is low pressure, meaning the gasses in the can allow the paint to be ejected slowly and smoothly. This can reduce spray dust, improve precision and increase how accurately users can apply paint.
How far should I hold the can away from the substrate while painting?
Optimum distance from substrate is normally between 15 and 25cm depending on your task. The closer you hold the can, the more paint is applied to a smaller area. The further away you hold it, the thinner the paint film applied will be.
How long does Montana GOLD take to dry?
Drying time is usually 6-8 minutes but can vary depending on substrate, ambient temperature, humidity levels and thickness of coats applied. The three stages of drying are apx: touch dry in 6-8 mins, working dry in 60 mins and chemically cured in 12-24 hours.
Can I paint over Montana GOLD with other tube paints?
You can paint over Montana GOLD with acrylic or oil based tube paints. It is optimal for all layers of paint to be cured before painting over with acrylic based tube or marker paints.
What temperatures can Montana GOLD withstand?
Montana GOLD can normally withstand indirect heat up to to apx. 80 degrees celsius depending on context. We do not recommend using in extreme contexts of direct heat and flames, (e.g. machine or auto parts).
How do I prevent getting drips?
Drips occur when the can is too close to the substrate during application, or spray passes occurring too slowly. You can either hold the can further away from the spray surface or increase the speed of your spray motion.
Can I change nozzles to have different application effects?
Montana âCans offers a wide variety of spray nozzles to create any marks of your choice. Nearly all Montana-Cans nozzles are interchangeable with all our spray products (*except ultra wide and some specialty sprays). Please ensure your replacement cap is the compatible before purchase.
How do I get the smooth coverage?
It is very important to shake well to achieve the correct balance between the high pigment load and the active ingredients of the can. Apply multiple coats thinly at apx. 15cm-20cm from your substrate, changing your application direction (horizontal and vertical) after each pass.
Can I sand Montana GOLD once it is dry?
Yes, you can sand Montana GOLD with dry or wet sand paper once dry. For optimal results, sand once cured (24 drying).
Is Montana GOLD lightfast?
Montana GOLD is extremely light fast using only the highest quality European pigments and added UV blockers to increase the longevity and vibrance of the color. Please note the longevity of your paint will be subject to many variables like exposure to UV light and the elements, pre-treatment of the substrate or amount of coats applied.

Is the Montana GOLD color range in the RAL system?
All though many colors from other color systems may appear similar, the Montana GOLD color range is a unique color system created by us that was developed with artists and creatives , for artists and creatives. It is not part of any other system. The colors were created individually in our labs and are mixed by us in our ISO certified production plants.

What is the best surface preparation for Montana GOLD?
Montana GOLD will stick to almost anything and can be used in almost any context. However for optimal results (and longevity), it is best to consider the following: -Working on PH neutral, non acid substrates is optimal for longevity. -Make sure your substrate is clean of all of oils, dirt or rust. -Use the appropriate primer for the chosen material if relevant. (eg. Plastic primer/Metal primer/Polystyrene primer/Universal primer if your not sure) -Smooth, non-porous surfaces use less paint. -The ideal color surface to pre-treat your artwork, object or project with is white. The more opaque the surface is, the more light will reflect through the applied color making it appear more vibrant and longer lasting. - Thin coats applied in multiple layers will add to the vibrancy of color and the sealing qualities of the paint. -Sanding between coats once dry (if possible) will create more tooth for further coats to adhere to. -Sealing with a Montana Varnish once paint is cured (24 hours) can seal, protect and increase the longevity of your artwork or project.
Is Montana GOLD compatible with other spray paints?
The secret for combining materials from different brands or chemical bases is to wait till al paints are totally dry and cured. Once Montana GOLD is cured completely, essentially only a film of neutral acrylic paint is left on the surface it was applied to. To avoid disappointment, always test spray on a scrap piece, or non-visible area of your artwork to see if you are content with the results!
Can I paint on the following materials?
-Polystyrene: Yes; Always pre-treat with Montana Polystyrene Primer and ensure the surface is completely sealed with all air holes covered. Any openings on the polystyrene surface may result in agitation or burning of the material. -Plastic: Yes. Success and longevity is dependent on the stability and chemical make up of the plastic. Not all plastics will allow a long term coverage. Always use Montana Plastic primer. -Metal: Yes. For best results free of dust, oils and rust. Pre-treat with Metal Primer and apply multiple coats to achieve color vibrancy required. -Glass: Yes. Ensure that the surface is clean and dry before application. -Fabric: Yes. However Montana GOLD is not a specific fabric paint. We recommend fabric paints for commercial fabric projects. It may dry hard on some fabrics and is not resistant to heavy use or some washing detergents over time. Please note the above listed surfaces expand and contract when exposed to heat and cold. If they expand beyond the abilities of the paint, then cracks or splits may occur in the paints surface. Extreme heat, cold or direct sunlight should be avoided. For all other surfaces see âBest Surface Preparationâ above.
Is Montana GOLD safe for me to use?
All our paints are CFC and Lead free. However all aerosol, or art materials that are in the form of vapor could become harmful if exposure is continuous and unprotected. (This includes water based materials!). Read the warnings on the packaging before use. How you protect yourself is a personal choice. Where ever possible we always recommend you wear a mask that filters dust/vapor/gas particles, wear gloves to cover hands, cover exposed face and skin and try to work in a well ventilated area. We do not scent our paints for your safety. If the above mentioned protection or working conditions are not possible, listen to your body. Take a break, ventilate or stop if you notice things becoming uncomfortable.
