from Greece with LOVE.

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

Here is a mini tour of [Sabotaz]80 in Greece. Our good friend Logan Hicks ( artist, and Sabotaz usa ) just went to visit Greece.. and came back with some great info about the super duper paint we carry here at Swiv.
now class… listen up.

At [Sabotaz]80 we manufacture our own paint. We own the filling machines. We own the labratory. We have a full time staff that works around the clock to produce the best damn spraypaint on the market.

You would think that all the companies do that, right? You’d be wrong.

Only one other company fills their own paint - but they are still filling their cans by hand.
Another company uses cheap labor in China to fill their cans and it shows in the lack of quality.
Other companies subcontract their operations out to the world’s largest spraypaint corporation and try to tell you that they are ‘down for the scene’ when they are nothing more than a faceless corporation.

At [Sabotaz]80 we personally formulate, test, manufacture, and distribute everything ourselves to ensure that we remain responsive to writers and artists.
We don’t push pencils at desks, we stand in the factory filling cans.

The cans run down the assembly line to the labeling and packaging area.
This machine can produce 130 cans of spraypaint a minute!!!!
As far as the eyes can see. Nothing but Sabotaz. You got walls, we got paint - problem?
At [Sabotaz]80, we only use natural pigments.
Pigments can be produced two ways - extracted from nature (our way) or synthesized artificially (the other way). Synthetic pigments can be more harmful to the human body, so we have decided to do the right thing and use all natural pigments in our paint.

Natural pigments are extracted from flowers, wood, coal, earth, and plants. They are extremely vibrant, less toxic, and more ecologically sound.

These pigments may cost a little more, but we at [Sabotaz]80 think it is worth it.
from Greece to New York straight to Swiv.

come and get em!

Swiv also carries….Sabotaz80 bucket paint. The world’s first latex paint that was specifically formulated for the urban environment. Now, instead of using a couple of cans to buff out a wall, you can use our bucket paint to quickly buff out a wall for less money. Our bucket paint matches our aerosol colors exactly. It comes in 20 different colors of bucket paint goodness dries matte, and is offered in three sizes - pint, quart, and gallon.
