There's Kote for Everyone!

Every architecture students knows their way around art supplies stores. After spending 5 years hoarding art supplies stores in the end of each semester, we are self-entitled Jedi Knights of Art Supplies Stores.

When we hear commoners ask "Itu kertas yang shiny-shiny tapi tebal sikit tu ada ka auntie?", we will thought to ourselves "Art paper 200 gsm pun tak tahu. Jahil sungguh!"

We also have our personalised taste when we buy art supplies. I personally like German products because of its quality and durability like Deuter, Faber Castell and Heidi Klum. I like to colour my models the painstaking way so I prefer to paint and coat them. So every semester, I will buy myself a tin of kote.

You heard me right. That's what the Germans calls them, kote!

Even when their many kind of coats are exported to other countries, they will retain the name Kote. Here are a few guidelines you can remember by when you want to buy your own kote.

For those you like your kote more superior than other kotes, you should use:

Or if you like it harder and heavy duty than usual, there is always:
If you're the kind who prefers your kote to be aesthetically pleasing with that glazing effect, you should use:


If you're a fan of Tony Hawk or the Yasutoko brothers and like to take anything you do to the extreme, amp it up with:


And while you're at it, do it on the roof with:

But let's say you're a nature conscious person who takes everything into consideration before acting on it, a generation Green vigilante or a macrobiotic evangalist who substitutes meat with meat-flavoured tofu....

Don't ever feel left out because they even have a special kote just for you!

Owh man I feel dirty.

I need to take a cold shower.
