[edit] Montana Colors

Montana Colors is an aerosol paint company that manufactures specialty paints for graffiti artists. It should not be confused with Montana Cans, also a paint company for graffiti artists.

[edit] History

In 1993, two writers who were opening a hip-hop store in Barcelona, Spain, contacted a paint company inquiring about prices of their paint. The commercial manager there, Jordi, heard the idea of manufacturing paint for graffiti artists, and was willing to act on it. The manager, however, was unable to convince the company of the idea's profitability. Thus, Jordi and the writers worked together to create an ideal paint for artists. In 1994, an event called "Aerosol Art" became the place in which the first Montana Colors aerosol spray was unveiled to the public. Soon after the "Hardcore" 400mL can was also unveiled, a common product today. Then in 2001, the "Alien" cans debuted. These were smaller, lower pressure cans that came in a wide variety of colors.

[edit] Today

All cans are hand-made at the Montana Colors factory. Montana distributes to many countries around the world, despite being a small company of about 50 employees.[1]
