December 9, 2010I collect vintage spray paint cans. Looking for any brands particularly Krylon, Rust-oleum, Red Devil, NYBCO, Illinois Bronze, Zynolyte, Derusto, or any smaller brands. Functionality is not an issue, and I am interested in large amounts. Conditions do matter somewhat, but I accept all conditions. Located in the Northeast and can pickup in the region. Looking to save cans from the garbage dump, for aesthetic reasons, historical worth, occasional color matching, archiving and collecting value.
