Posted By: slyle133 Re: Old Spray Paint Cans and Related Items - Sat Feb 25 2012 03:15 AM


Here is the first style of spray paint in aerosol form ever made. This is the original krylon can. I would pay serious money if someone found me this $200+ depending on condition. I am also interested in any other old spray paint cans in this style, but I can't say I would pay that much for other brands.
Posted By: gasoildude Re: Old Spray Paint Cans and Related Items - Sat Feb 25 2012 03:20 AM
Thats a cool looking Krylon can.
Posted By: slyle133 Re: Old Spray Paint Cans and Related Items - Sat Feb 25 2012 01:20 PM
All the original spray paint cans were shaped like that. The top was actually concave so in order to spray you would have to hold the can at a 45º angle. They were only made for a very brief time I would say 1949-1951 maybe a little longer. Lots of ads I see by 1951 had already changed the can style, to a slightly more modern look. I only know of a handful of paint cans that were made like this. You mostly see them as bug sprays. Other household products were also available. I will try and get some pictures of the random cans I have.

Anyone come across any paint cans lately?

No spray cans, did find a Dutchboy White Lead Paint pail... interested?
Posted By: slyle133 Re: Old Spray Paint Cans and Related Items - Mon Oct 29 2012 08:44 PM
Nope, but thanks for asking. If I started saving all the neat old paint cans I come across I would be in real trouble. Thanks, Dave

I would like to thank everyone here that has been able to find me cans over the years. I am still looking for old spray paint cans if anyone has come across any. Also looking for the self-feeding metal display racks with or without signage. Also signs from any brand that made spray paint. Including but not limited to Rust-Oleu (even their early pre-spray signs) Red Devil (paint company not the tool company) Derusto and of course Krylon.
Posted By: slyle133 Re: Old Spray Paint Cans and Related Items - Fri Jun 07 2013 11:51 PM
Thanks for all the interest. Lots of new cans popping up. Most cans prices start at $5 a can and can go as high as $50 or more for some of the more rare cans. I really appreciate people taking the time to email me. Thanks again guys....
Posted By: slyle133 Re: Old Spray Paint Cans and Related Items - Fri Jul 26 2013 12:05 PM
Looking for any type of spray paint display too. Lots of times people find the signs and destroy the display. If anyone comes across a display for paint cans I would be VERY interested in the complete display. It is a great way for me to display my collection.
Posted By: slyle133 Re: Old Spray Paint Cans and Related Items - Fri Jul 26 2013 12:08 PM

I am also very interested in this original style of aerosol spray can. I pay about $40 for these cans in clean condition. Sometimes more. Someone had one on here, but now I cannot get in touch with them....

I am on the lookout for old Spray Paint displays. Small floor models or counter models are wanted to aid in the display of my cans.



Displays similar to that one, not necessarily for older smaller cans, could be for the modern size cans.

Sears Acrylic Enamel Lime Green by slyle133, on Flickr

Another brand I have been trying to find more of, is anything made for Sears. Early cans were not labeled sears, but called Master Mixed.

WOW that is a neat lot. Only problem is that I do not collect auto related sprays. I have a couple of those cans, but tend to stay away from them. I appreciate the photos and if you find anything else I would love to hear from you. Thanks...

That Plastikote is the original style aerosol can. The sargent is real neat, along with the devoe. Its a shame the krylon is missing its cap, that is common for those cans.

I never understand why all the old cans I find are always in Coppertone, gold or brass. Lets not forget clear. It was like no one ever used colors. I guess it was alot easier than the old way with the metallic powders.

Are you interested in selling? If so could you PM me a price.

I only have a few that are on your list.

2009 Avocado
2011 Jungle Green

2110 Hot Pink



I probably overpaid for them, but Jungle Green was something of a holy grail for me...

I mostly wanted to applaud your thoroughness. Yesterday when I was trying to do some paint research I saw slyle133 in a number of forums. (I was the one who messaged you on eBay btw)

I was curious, however, are you looking for those colors (is it an updated list) in any era? Grade? I probably have a couple that I use still, the stock is running low... but, those are all 90's cans.
Posted By: slyle133 Re: Old Spray Paint Cans and Related Items - Sun Jul 16 2017 01:30 PM
Hey great cans. I could not reply via eBay as they flagged me for trying to deal outside of ebay. Contact me through DM here and send an email. I tried to messge you, nothing went through.
Posted By: Wimsta Re: Old Spray Paint Cans and Related Items - Mon Jul 31 2017 07:04 PM
I didn't follow up as I'm not in a position to do anything until my next paycheck (at the end of August)... long story...

I have read up a bit more, you're quite famous in a number of spray paint groups.

The easiest way to communicate would probably just be through Facebook. I'm the only Wim Laven in the world so I'm pretty easy to track down.

Anyway, following up with the thread, is the list in your first post still your wish list?
Posted By: slyle133 Re: Old Spray Paint Cans and Related Items - Sun Nov 25 2018 04:57 PM
