Hello all,

I'm trying to source something for my company. I'm looking for an environmentally friendly spray paint. Biodegradable if possible but just a environmentally friendly rating on it would suffice. Now the company Krylon in the US makes a water based, non toxic spray paint in a can in a variety of colors. The crappy thing is I don't think I can order it since they won't Airfreight aerosol canisters. Nor can I find a supplier for Krylon in Europe. Does anyone know of any companies producing a similar product in the EU? It's gotta be like spray paint in some kind of pressurized canister...like the sort kids use for graffiti art.

Second, I'm trying to find a good makeup artist. I looked online and contacted a couple but one is outrageously expensive, and the others don't seem to reply to email. Does anyone on this forum do this? Or know anyone that does? I need someone with some fashion makeup/photography makeup experience. In the Stockholm area.

Thanks in advance for your help!

first I'm impressed that the US makes anything environmentally friendly, but then again if they don't export it, perhaps it isn't.

Secondly, I presume you don't want any help from smelly immigrants or those ignorant native Swedes, otherwise you'll look a little bit silly. Kind of narrows your field a bit doesn't it, ah well, what goes around, comes around.

You can purchase spray paint at Biltema, Jula, Colorama, Beijer, K-Rauta.

I think you should google for "skönhetsvård" rather than make up artist and it should be fairly easy finding a beauty salon that can help you out.
