Joe,

The Microscale ones go on well, because they're thin. My only beef is that they are "jelly bean" colors... which is not their fault. It's the printing process. Real graffiti is typically dull with lots of grays and off-whites. Not kelly green and fire engine red.

Blair Line has the shading down... but their printing process leaves a dot pattern if you look up close. Like a Sunday comic strip.

I'd recommend SRG - or Scale Rail Graphics. The artwork is crisper, the colors are subdued. If you like my stuff... theirs comes the closest. You can do a search for them online.
