Will spraypaint explode in plane?

I'm taking some of my modeling stuff by plane, and I was wondering if the spraypaints will explode because of the pressure...? Will the paints in glass bottles be safe as well? What about pressurized air for airbrushes? Thanks

Will they even let you take aerosols on aircraft these days? Check you ticket or ring the airline for conditions, cause you don't want them X-raying your luggage and pulling everything out. I'd imagine that a properly manufactured can would have little chance of exploding but it could leak and security could get suspicious.

Ive always wondered this.

I order spraypaints from HLJ and Rainbowten and they shipped SAL with no problems.

i doubt they will even let you on the plane with that paint can

i bet i will see you on the news in a few days, talking about a security "breach" and shutting down an entire airport.

If your gonna get thrown into jail for a security breach at an airport please go out with the best. Dont walk in there with a testors spray can...Tamiya!

Since September 11th, every spray can will explode in plane acording to airplane security manager :D

SAL is ground btw, not air

I speak from experience...they explode.

Your thinking of Surface mail. SAL is airline.

Your thinking of Surface mail. SAL is airline.
SAL is surface air lift. It goes ground from wherever is is sent from to the export airport where the package then flies "standby". When there is room after all priority mail packages they load the sal packages to fill the aircraft. Once the aircraft lands in the destination country the package then goes ground again to the final destination.
The "standby" portion is why delivery times vary with each order placed.

Usually after Sept 11, is not possible to mail by air, even hlj don't want to risk that. If not I already had the complete stock on Duolip rattle can on my shelve.
All paint and thinner either in rattle can or bottle consider dangerous cargo, and it's damn expensive to 'air' out. I do suggest you not to do it, or the airplane security will treat you acup of coffee in his room :lol:

HLJ have recently shipped me Tamiya primer via SAL. It arrived 100% fine...

they do not explode in a air plane. I took 2 tamiya colors from england to sweden with plane and nothing happened. and also the cans are only sensetive for heat and verry hig presures

if your dog or cat can fly in the cargo hold of a 747
and not pop in think your paint will be ok too.
as far as being allowed the paint on that is a diffrent
story :grinno:

darn =/ How about the acrylic/enamel paints in the little jars..? Will that cause suspicion as well?

nope no way. if you just put them in the louggage that you sheks in... then it is no problem.

Well they scan the luggage and ask you if you are carrying any chemicals or anything flammable as well. I woud imagine the fine and or jail time is pretty stiff these days.
Common sense should tell you to not even attempt taking paint on a plane

Seriously, don't try your luck with this airport security. It will be the same as bring a gun and hopefully to get through. :disappoin

As for hlj or any japanese model shop, what I do is they will send you paint, but must together with models, so they can just insert 1 or 2 paint into the model box and shipped. If is only paints and rattle can, you have to pay for the declaration on dangerous cargo. :2cents:
