The best Graffiti cans, compared.
Top pick: Montana GOLD 400 ml – Highest score in the set, from 4.4 and 1,422 reviews on one 400 ml can. The shade on the listing is not settled. Best value: Fluorescent 6-pack 200 ml – Lowest shelf price in the set, at about £11.55, with 4.1 from 1,052 reviews, and not the highest score. Updated October 2026.
A graffiti can is an aerosol paint container: paint under pressure, built to spray. Shoppers buy graffiti cans for lettering, a small permitted mural, fluorescent craft, and gloss colour on wood or card. You tell a suitable can by a full fill, a steady fan, a matching cap colour, and pigment for thin coats. Job, volume and the colour contract are in the [graffiti cans buying guide](/hub/paints-and-varnishes/graffiti-cans/sub/graffiti-cans-buying-guide). One can is a different purchase from a box of smaller colours. A fixed list of hues is a different contract from a fluorescent box that may send any mix. Solvent paint belongs outdoors or in a well-ventilated space. A waterproof tick that disagrees with the next field is not a weathering test, and CFC-free only rules out CFC propellant. Thin coats and when to stop are in [how to spray graffiti cans](/hub/paints-and-varnishes/graffiti-cans/sub/graffiti-cans-how-to-spray). Selling an aerosol paint container to someone under 16 is an offence in England, Wales and Scotland. Northern Ireland’s line is 18. Painting without consent is a separate offence. A mirror-effect aerosol is compared under [chrome spray](/hub/paints-and-varnishes/chrome-spray).

Question 1 of 2
How many colours do you need?
Montana GOLD MXG-S9000 is one 400 ml aerosol at £12.99 on amazon.co.uk, and 1,422 reviews put it at 4.4, the largest sample in this set. UK artist shops treat 400 ml as the usual lettering can, and the manufacturer’s GOLD help page describes a low-pressure nitrocellulose acrylic. On this listing the title mixes Gold, Shock and Black, the colour field says Black, Gold, and UK reviews mention gold chrome, silver and fluorescent red, so the shade is not settled from the title alone. The finish field says matte, while some of those reviews describe chrome and shine. Coverage is printed as 25 sq ft per can, and the can is listed at 230 g. Waterproof is ticked while the resistance level only says water resistant, and the dry-time fields disagree: full cure at 15 minutes against a dry time of 8 hours. One review said the film marks if it is touched. It is the top pick here on that review weight and a score of 88, which is listing maths, and you still confirm the shade before you treat the can as Shock Black.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want one 400 ml can for lettering or a small permitted panel, and you will check the live shade before you pay £12.99.
Less suitable: You need a named Shock Black you have already seen in a shop, or several small colours for one stencil job.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this can one colour?
The amazon.co.uk title mixes Gold, Shock and Black. The colour field says Black, Gold. UK reviews mention gold chrome, silver and fluorescent red. Check the shade before you rely on it.
What size is the can?
400 ml, one can, listed at £12.99. The coverage field says 25 sq ft per can. Item weight is 230 g.
Does the listing say it is waterproof?
Waterproof is true and the water-resistance level is water resistant. That is the field, not a weathering test. One review said the film marks if touched.
SÜDOR’s high-gloss six-pack is six 200 ml cans at £39.00, origin Turkey, listed at 4.2 from 539 reviews. The first 50 captured texts are not from the United Kingdom and often describe 12 colours, so that star line is a weak guide to this exact six-colour box. The bullet tells you to hold the can about 25–30 cm away and to use several thin coats after shaking. The named colours are black, white, blue, green, red and yellow. Waterproof is false while the water-resistance level says waterproof, so neither field is a pass for outdoor wear. The bullet says the paint is solvent-based, not suitable for persons under 18, and to keep it away from children and ignition, while the age-range field says Children. Coverage is printed at about 120–144 square metres per set, which is not a planning number. Full cure is listed at five minutes, shown as 0.08 hours.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a high-gloss six-colour box and you will follow the 25–30 cm thin-coat line, knowing the review file is not a UK sample of this ASIN.
Less suitable: You are choosing from UK review text, or you need one named 400 ml artist can.
Specifications
Common questions
How far does the bullet say to spray?
About 25–30 cm, in several thin coats, after shaking. That is the seller’s instruction.
Who is it for on the listing?
The bullet says not suitable for persons under 18 and to keep it away from children and ignition. The age-range field says Children. Those lines disagree.
Do the water fields agree?
Waterproof is false and the water-resistance level is waterproof. Use neither as a pass for outdoor wear.
Bastelzone’s gloss six-pack is six 200 ml cans at £38.00, with black, white, blue, green, red and yellow and RAL numbers on the bullet. The star line is 4.2 from 357 reviews, the same count and the same best-seller rank as the twelve-colour ASIN B0B9YJQK1H, and the review texts match, so this is not a second UK sample of 357. The bullet says you can spray without primer after you remove dirt, dust, oil and rust, which is the seller’s line rather than a test on bare metal. Waterproof is false, the level says water resistant, and the bullet says conditionally weatherproof. Listed dry time is 0.08 hours, about five minutes, and the full-cure field also says five minutes. The bullet says the paint contains solvents and is not suitable for children. Volume fields also print 1,200 ml and 1,140 ml against six times 200 ml, and the container field says tin while the item form says aerosol.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want six fixed gloss colours with RAL codes on the bullet for a small sheltered job, and you will not treat the shared 357 as unique proof.
Less suitable: You want the £11.55 neon set, or a review file that belongs only to this six-pack.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the bullet say you need a primer?
It says without primer, after you remove dirt, dust, oil and rust. That is the seller’s line, not a test on bare metal.
Is it waterproof?
The waterproof field is false. The level says water resistant. The bullet says conditionally weatherproof.
Are the 357 reviews only for this six-pack?
The same count and the same best-seller rank appear on the 12-colour ASIN B0B9YJQK1H, and the review texts match. Do not treat them as two UK samples.
The Bastelzone twelve-pack is twelve 200 ml cans at £65.00 and 2.48 kg, the dearest row here, listed at 4.2 from 357 reviews. That count and the best-seller rank match the six-pack B0DCT2PM2K, so the two files are not separate proof. The bullet names 12 RAL colours, while the colour field does not match that list and adds Gold. Finish is printed as Metal, Oil. The bullet says the paint is conditionally weatherproof and dries within five minutes, and there is no waterproof boolean and no dry-time field to check those lines against. Included components says Paper, which reads as a catalogue error beside a twelve-can title. The bullet says the paint contains solvents and is not suitable for children. Amazon’s note says delivery outside mainland UK cannot be confirmed for some products until you enter an address, and aerosols often sit in that group. The size line is 2.4 litres, with pack dimensions of 32 × 23 × 11 cm.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want the longest fixed colour list in this set and you have a mainland UK address to check at checkout.
Less suitable: You are ordering to an address outside mainland UK, or you wanted a review sample that is not shared with the six-pack.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this the same listing as the six-pack?
It is a different ASIN and a 12-colour title at £65.00. It shares model BSPR, the best-seller rank and the 357-review count with B0DCT2PM2K.
What is in the box on the field?
Included components says Paper. The title is twelve spray cans. Treat that field as a catalogue error, not as a paper-only product.
Will it ship to every UK address?
Amazon’s note says some products cannot be confirmed outside mainland UK until you enter an address. Aerosols are often in that group.
The Bastelzone ten-pack is ten 200 ml cans at £62.00, with Bastelzone as the brand and SÜDOR in the manufacturer field, and 4.2 from 67 reviews. Twelve captured texts are in the file and none are from the United Kingdom, and several of them say the cans are small. The listing prints 2–2.4 m² per 200 ml per layer, the only multipack area figure here that reads like one coat on a panel rather than a whole room. The title names ten hues, including black, pink and brown, while the colour field lists only blue, green, orange, purple, red, white and yellow. A feature says non toxic and the bullet says the paint contains solvents, and the age-range field says children. Full cure is five minutes on the field, and the bullet says it dries within five minutes. Waterproof is true and the level is water resistant, while item form says liquid and the container says spray can.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a ten-colour gloss box and you will use 2–2.4 m² per layer as a rough coat estimate, then check the colours that actually arrive.
Less suitable: You need UK review evidence, a colour list that matches itself, or the cheaper six-can neon set.
Specifications
Common questions
Which colours are actually listed?
The title names ten, including black, pink and brown. The colour field lists blue, green, orange, purple, red, white and yellow only.
What coverage is printed?
2–2.4 m² per 200 ml per layer. That is the listing line. The saved reviews are not from the UK and several say the cans are small.
Is it non-toxic?
A feature says non toxic. The bullet says it contains solvents. The age-range field says children. Read the can.
This unknown-brand fluorescent pack is six 200 ml cans at £11.55, with 4.1 from 1,052 amazon.co.uk reviews and United Kingdom as the origin. That is the lowest shelf price in the set and the second-largest review file, which is why it is the best value here, not because the photo is a colour contract. The bullet lists red, pink, blue, red, orange, yellow and green, so red is named twice, and reviews report gloss cans inside a neon box. One buyer expected glow in the dark, which fluorescent dye is not. The coverage field prints 60–90 square metres per litre, while reviews describe small boards and several coats, so that figure is not a planning number. Waterproof is true and the level is water resistant. One review said glass bottles ran, and another wanted an undercoat on metal. Dry time is listed at 24 hours while full cure is 1 hour, and the title’s NO CFCs line only speaks to the propellant.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want several bright 200 ml cans for card, a stencil or a small craft panel, and you can accept that the mix may not match the photo.
Less suitable: You need a fixed palette, one full 400 ml can, or paint that keeps glowing after the light is switched off.
Specifications
Common questions
Are all six cans neon?
The title says fluorescent neon. Reviews report gloss cans in the box, and red named twice on the bullet. One buyer expected glow in the dark.
How much area does the listing claim?
The field prints 60-90 square metres per litre. UK reviews describe small boards and several coats, so that figure is not a planning number.
Does it say waterproof?
Waterproof is true and the level is water resistant. A review said glass bottles ran, and another wanted an undercoat on metal.
SÜDOR’s ten-pack is ten 200 ml cans at £58.00, with 4.1 from only 25 reviews. The saved listing has seven texts and none are from the United Kingdom, so the star line is a thin sample from outside this market. The bullet names black, white, blue, green, red, yellow, purple, orange, pink and brown, and it says outdoor use only, contains solvents, and do not inhale. The specific-uses field still says Interior/Exterior, so the outdoor-only line is the stricter instruction until you read the can in your hand. Dry time is 0.08 hours, about five minutes, and full cure is 24 hours, which at least separates a short touch time from a longer cure. Waterproof is true, the level says water resistant, and the bullet says weatherproof. Included components are the ten cans, and different nozzles are not listed. At £58 you are paying for more labelled colours, not for a large UK review file.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want ten ordinary gloss colours for an outdoor craft job and you accept a very small review file that is not from the UK.
Less suitable: You plan to spray indoors, or you want either the £11.55 neon box or the Montana can with 1,422 reviews.
Specifications
Common questions
Can it be used indoors?
The bullet says for outdoor use only, contains solvents, and do not inhale. The specific-uses field says Interior/Exterior. Follow the stricter line on the can you receive.
Does it include different nozzles?
Included components are 10 spray paint cans. The nozzle question in the saved listing is unanswered.
How many reviews are there?
The listing says 4.1 from 25. The saved listing has seven texts and none are from the United Kingdom.
TLP’s fluorescent twelve-pack is twelve 200 ml cans at £19.66, with 3.9 from 265 reviews, and the seller chooses any mix from red, yellow, orange, blue, green, purple or pink. You only get more labelled volume than the £11.55 six-pack if twelve usable neon cans arrive. Reviews report missing colours, short deliveries and fewer than 12 cans, and weak cover is a repeated complaint. The finish field says gloss while the bullet says fluorescent neon. One UK review said the colour faded quickly without a lacquer, which is a single report, not a weathering test. Waterproof is true and the resistance level also says waterproof, and that agreement is still not an outdoor fade test. The item-weight field prints 249 g for a pack whose unit count is 2,400 ml, so treat the weight as what Amazon printed. Origin is United Kingdom, and NO CFCs on the bullet is not a low-odour or child-safe claim.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want more than six neon cans and you will count the delivery before you plan a palette around it.
Less suitable: You need specific hues, a photo-matched set, or the larger 4.1 review file on the cheaper six-pack.
Specifications
Common questions
Do you choose the colours?
No. The bullet says any mix from red, yellow, orange, blue, green, purple or pink will be sent. Reviews report missing colours and fewer than 12 cans.
Is the pack heavy?
The item-weight field prints 249 g for a 12-can pack. Unit count is 2,400 ml. Treat the weight figure as what Amazon printed.
Will it stay bright outside?
Waterproof is true on the field. One UK review said the colour faded quickly without a lacquer. That is one report, not a weathering test.
Eight amazon.co.uk graffiti-can listings were compared from the stored listing files and the public UK sources named below. This was not a lab test. The score on each card is the amazon.co.uk star average multiplied by 20, so 4.4 becomes 88. Conflicting shade, coverage, waterproof and dry-time fields are described in the text and were not subtracted from that figure. The top pick is the highest of those scores: one 400 ml can with 4.4 from 1,422 reviews. The best value is the lowest shelf price in the set, about £11.55, with 4.1 from 1,052 reviews, not the next-highest score. Two Bastelzone listings share one 357-review count, and that shared file is not treated as two samples. A room-sized coverage line is not used as a planning number.
Listing stars
40%The card score is the amazon.co.uk star average times 20. A 4.4 becomes 88 and a 3.9 becomes 78. Stars are the listing average, not a spray test.
Review-file quality
20%A large UK review file carries more weight in the written comparison than a thin sample, a file from outside the UK, or a count shared by two ASINs.
Job and volume
15%One 400 ml can and a box of 200 ml colours are different purchases, even when the shelf prices sit close together.
Colour contract
15%A fixed list of hues, including RAL numbers where the bullet prints them, is a different contract from a fluorescent box that may send any mix.
Solvent, place and age
10%Solvent warnings, ventilation, contradictory waterproof fields and the UK age line are checked in the text. They do not change the star score.
Start with the job and the volume, then the colour contract, then solvent and where you will spray, then the review file. A low price next to a single can is often a box of smaller cans. None of these listings was lab-tested.
Graffiti cans on amazon.co.uk are aerosol paint: a pressurised can built to spray. UK buyers use them for lettering, a small mural they are allowed to paint, fluorescent craft, and gloss colour on wood, card and prepared panels. Quality is a full can, a steady fan, a colour that matches the cap, and enough pigment for a few thin coats. The notes below follow the order that changes the purchase: job and volume, the colour contract, solvent and where you spray, then finish and the review file.
About £11.55 and about £12.99 sit next to each other and answer different jobs. One is six 200 ml cans. The other is one 400 ml can. Compare the job, not the shelf price alone.
Lines of 60–90 m² per litre, and about 120–144 m² per set, conflict with reviews of small boards and several coats. Use 2–2.4 m² per 200 ml per layer, where a listing prints it, as a rough coat estimate only.
Under-16 sales are an offence in England, Wales and Scotland. Northern Ireland’s line is 18. Painting without consent is criminal damage, and it is separate from which can you buy.
Decide the job before the box. One 400 ml can is for lettering or a small permitted panel. A 200 ml multipack is for several colours on card, a stencil or a small craft piece. Shelf prices that sit close together can still be different purchases. Then read the colour contract. Fixed hues, and RAL numbers where the bullet prints them, are a list you can check. A fluorescent bullet that says any mix will be sent is not that list.
Several bullets say the paint contains solvents, is not for children, and is for outdoor or well-ventilated use. A CFC-free line only excludes CFC propellant. Waterproof fields on the same listing often contradict each other, and there is no weathering test in this comparison. HSE guidance is that spraying puts more solvent in the air than a brush. The 2012 VOC Regulations exclude aerosols from the decorative-paint caps. Then look at the review file. Prefer a large UK sample.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You want one 400 ml can for lettering or a small permitted panel, and you will check the shade before you pay. Montana GOLD 400 ml, model MXG-S9000, is the top pick, at about £12.99 with 4.4 from 1,422 reviews. The title mixes Gold, Shock and Black. The manufacturer describes the GOLD system as low-pressure acrylic.
You want several bright 200 ml cans for card, a stencil or a small craft panel, and you can accept that the mix may not match the photo. The unknown-brand fluorescent six-pack is the best value, at about £11.55 with 4.1 from 1,052 reviews. Reviews report gloss cans in a neon box. Fluorescent dye is not glow-in-the-dark.
You want six named gloss colours with RAL numbers on the bullet, and you will not treat a shared review file as unique proof. Bastelzone’s gloss six-pack is about £38, with 4.2 from 357 reviews. That count and the best-seller rank also appear on the twelve-pack. The bullet says the paint contains solvents and is not suitable for children.
The top pick is Montana GOLD 400 ml, model MXG-S9000, at about £12.99, with 4.4 from 1,422 reviews. That is the highest score in this set, and the score is the star average times 20, not a lab mark. The title mixes Gold, Shock and Black, so check the shade. The best value is the unknown-brand fluorescent six-pack at about £11.55, with 4.1 from 1,052 reviews. It is the lowest shelf price here, not the highest score, and the colour mix may not match the photo.
Montana GOLD 400 ml
Highest score in the set, from 4.4 and 1,422 reviews on one 400 ml can. The shade on the listing is not settled.
Fluorescent 6-pack 200 ml
Lowest shelf price in the set, at about £11.55, with 4.1 from 1,052 reviews, and not the highest score.
