Spray Paint Artequipment Amsterdam — Caput Mortuum Violet 344, aerosol can

Artequipment Amsterdam Caput Mortuum Violet 344 is an aerosol spray paint formulated for artists, illustrators and DIY enthusiasts seeking a consistent deep violet tone. The spray can delivers an even, opaque finish that adapts to painting, stencilling and mixed-media techniques on common surfaces such as canvas, wood and properly primed metal. The product is presented in an aerosol can for quick application and controlled coverage, enabling both broad strokes and more detailed layering when used with appropriate caps and distances.

Advantages

This spray paint provides uniform colour distribution and reliable opacity in a single pass, reducing the need for multiple coats. The aerosol format allows for fast application across large areas while also accommodating finer control for detailing when combined with thin-cap nozzles or reduced spray distance. The formulation adheres well to prepared surfaces and dries to a stable finish suitable for additional painting layers or protective topcoats.

Suitable for

• Art projects on canvas and paper
• Wooden decor and furniture accents
• Primed metal surfaces for decorative applications
• Stencilling and mural elements
• Mixed-media and street-art techniques

Key specifications

• Colour: Caput Mortuum Violet (deep violet shade)
• Format: aerosol spray can for manual spray application
• Finish: opaque, stable finish suitable for layering
• Recommended surfaces: canvas, wood, primed metal and other prepared substrates
• Application: suitable for broad coverage and detail work depending on nozzle and distance

How to use

Shake the can vigorously before use to ensure pigment and propellant are fully mixed. Test spray on a disposable surface to check flow and coverage. Hold the can at a consistent distance (typically 20–30 cm) from the work surface and apply in steady, overlapping passes to avoid runs. For finer detail, use a thin-cap nozzle or reduce the distance and work with short bursts. Allow adequate drying time between coats and between layers of different media. Use appropriate surface preparation—clean, dry and prime porous materials for best adhesion.

Usage recommendations

Work in a well-ventilated area and use personal protective equipment such as a mask and gloves. Store the aerosol can upright away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Allow painted items to fully cure before applying protective varnishes or exposing them to heavy handling.
