theres a couple of paint shops on ebay sell fairly cheap paint, but then you have delivery on top.

Cellulose paint is what you use to graffitti walls

Ł2k is what you spend on expensive hookers and cheap champagne

Yep you need hardener, and you will need an air fed mask to spray 2pack paint. That is if you like being able to breath!!

Celly is air drying, 2pack dries via a chemical reaction (ie using the hardner)

2k is dangerous shit, legally you arent allowed to use it, inless you operate a sealed booth which filters paint fumes before venting to atmosphere... Which I doubt you have as you would know the difference if you did

to spray 2k paint u will need the necessary respirator as the paint contains isocyanate which will damage your lungs severley!!!
