This is needed for my next custom boombox, but it's not sold anywhere in my country anymore.
I found it on amazon and a couple of other places but none of them ship to .au

Is there any chance one of you rockers could pick me some up and ship it? Happy to pay you for your troubles.

I need 2 cans of Black Granite, but you may need to see if you can ship it out of the u.s first, maybe it's an impossibility.


Please PM me if you can help out.



Rock On.

Im pretty sure spraycans aren't mailable. You may be able to cross reference and get a colour the same in another make, or at least extremely similar.
i would try anywhere that stocks hip hop gear, like music, shoes, clothing etc - a lot of those places have a HUGE range of quality cans for graffiti.
Otherwise get something which is the colour you want and have it made up in an automotive paint shop - they'll put it in a can for you and the thinners/nozzle ratio is really nice to spray with.

The problem with this is that it's a special finish, not a flat colour.

I've bought aerosol cans through the mail domestically but not internationally..

Scotty: thats part of the plan

Gluecifer, It looks as if FedEx is willing to ship spray paint. I found this on their website:

FedEx: Options for your Shipment:

FedEx Express is a world leader in the transport of dangerous goods and has specialists on staff to answer your questions. Your first step is to identify whether your shipment contains dangerous goods. Many items fall into this category, such as airbags, ammunition, butane, car batteries, fireworks, lighters, matches, paint and perfume. The list also includes aerosol sprays, cologne, dry ice, gasoline, jet fuel, nail polish, nail polish remover and nitrogen refrigerated liquid. If you have questions, call our Dangerous Goods/Hazardous Materials Hotline at 1.800.GoFedEx 1.800.463.3339 and press "81".

FedEx: International Countries: Dangerous Goods Acceptance:
Australia:
Dangerous Goods Delivery: Yes

Let me know if you want me to call the Dangerous Goods/Hazardous Materials Hotline and get more info. :-)

I've seen that mostly on kitchen countertops which gives it a really nice texture look.

It might look good on a boombox. Now I'm curious. :hmmm:

Good luck Glue.

I buy deoxit and fader lube in aerosols from the US off eBay because they're 1/4 the price (after postage) that I can find em here. Never had trouble shipping them.
