Per la fine del ’96 a Roma erano passati writers da tutta europa e del mondo a lasciare il segno sui vagoni della metro. Una volta cogliemmo in “flagrante” degli Austriaci che avevano appena coperto un nostro vagone e il risultato fu che ci diedero “gentilmente” i loro spray. Essendo abituati per la maggior parte agli spray ferramentosi che avevano una gamma di colori molto limitata, trovammo le loro Multona di qualità decisamente superiore tanto che ci portarono altri spray il giorno dopo.
Centellinammo i loro spray usandoli un pochino ogni volta che andavamo a dipingere, fino a quando una notte, ubriachi fuori dalla rete di Magliana, in mezzo ai cespugli trovammo dei mobili sfasciati sotto cui giacevano centinaia di spray usati di provenienze crucche, per la maggior parte Belton ral e auto K! Centinaia di spray, alcuni anche mezzi pieni degli RCB di Berlino che erano venuti pochi mesi prima e avevano fatto un macello di roba sulla B. Non potevamo crederci, quel deposito nascosto ci durò per mesi e mesi. Non erano rare le volte in cui entravamo con buste di 20 fondini solo per riuscire a fare un pannelletto. I colori erano piu accesi, gli highlights uscivano di più, ma sopratutto coprivano così tanto che sembrava di barare…

All Roads Lead to Rome
By the end of '96 writers from all over Europe and the world had come to Rome to leave their mark on the subway trains. We once caught some Austrian writers red-handed that had painted over one of our cars and the result was that they "kindly" gave us their paint. We were so used to industrial paints that had such a limited color-palette, that we found their Multona cans of a definite superior quality, such that they brought us more cans the next day.
We rationed their cans a little each time we went painting, until one night, completely drunk outside the fence of the Magliana yard, we found hundreds of used German-looking cans under some broken furniture, Belton ral and Auto-K for the most part! Hundreds of half empty cans left there by the RCB crew from Berlin that had come just a few months earlier and had totally bombed the B-line. We couldn't believe it, that hidden paint depot lasted us for months. It was not rare for us to enter the yard with 20 cans just to complete a panel. The colors were brighter, the highlights highlighted more, but above all they covered so much that it felt like cheating...
