Cellman in the 80s-90s.
The 90s Shellman with a spray-painted airbrush - an era when everything was still tangible by hand.
During the 1990s, Thailand became more open to "commercial art" culture.
From motorcycle decorations, shirt screenshots, to decorative paint spraying jobs in showrooms and billboards.
"Air brush spray paint" became a popular commodity, because it gave a smoother, fresher paint and more professional look than a regular brush or spray.
At the time, "Shell Man" (Salesman) was the heart of every brand.
No social, no e-mail, no website, everything has to be sold, self-talk and show the real thing in front of it.
🧳 The 90s Shellman Life
Shellman had to carry a bag of sample equipment - paint bottles, airbrush and sample spraying plates.
Travel to hand tools stores, paint shops and higher education institutions.
Especially the Faculty of Arts, the Faculty of Design, the Technical College.
Because there are students who are passionate about spray painting and the art of decoration.
When the product is presented, the shell must show the real thing.
Turn on the sprayer on paper or steel plate to see directly.
Let customers "see the colors" and "touch the quality" with their eyes and hands.
This is the charm of the era - everything proved by craftsmanship and conviction.
