moonlight rules, other then that, adjust.
dont bring lights, especially if you already got caught there.

Bringing a light is something I would never do. It increases your chances alot of getting caught. I recomend peicing/bombing during the day.

bring a glowlight....perferably red or blue...so it blends in with the wall...definatley not a flashlight, cause it brings to much attention.

well ive hit up a cop car once... and it sucked cuz i couldnt see waht i was doing and i did a shitty throw with the outline way off the fill lol...

and silver at night can be fucking hard to see... are for pieceing... u cant differentiat youre colors well... and if youre going over other pieces it becomes hell...

the sun is a great source of light ;)

I love how you find a way to squeeze in the fact that u hit a cop car into every fuckin thread. Get over yourself, hitting a cop car aint that special...especially when u do a shitty job of it.

And to the dude who said "just paint during the day" that is just retarded. What's more heaty, painting at night when everyones sleeping with a little flashlight, or painting during broad daylight when you are completely illuminated and there are people walking around everywhere on the streets.

Seriosuly, I got arrested for painting during the day and its not gonna happen again. Just aint worth it!

natural night vision... you wait for a little bit in a dark room, you can start to see things.. so, no flashlight, no shit..

I just use my cell phone light, it isnt enough to be seen from far away, but it will luminate a dark area enough for me to see what im doing.

jade
06-14-2004, 12:51 AM
find a train track...follow it until you reach the back of a building usually there like 20 feet away from the track, paint in day light cause cars cant get there and if they do try to go on the tracks then there just stupid, and if you see a cop, even if he goes after you as long as your paintin like 50 feet from the road you can easily outrun him....

i wouldn't say shit like that in a toy thread, because every yard is different and has different surroundings. the best thing to do when going to a yard, ai sgo with someone who has been there and knows it well.

usually night vision should work well enough, a flashlight or somehting will spoil your vision when you turn it off.

well just use moonlight, up until those few seconds you get when the jaks put ther spotlight on ya.
finish painting real quick tho

lowlife
06-17-2004, 01:54 PM
what you could do is if the spot is something you can hit in daylight, use a color that will standout night, put a outline up then at night, fill, then re-outline, or if you have a pager or cell phone that could work too!

also a red light works well because after you turn it off, your eyes dont need to agust to the darkness....learned that on Popular Mechanics 4 Kids...... :P so that way, If u have to run away fast, u can without stumbling over shit

i have a really small petzl headlight thts really small and light, it has alot of different settings and the redlight setting is really good because its not as noticable and it doesnt hurt your natural night vision like normal lights, and obviosly its hands free, and u can also turn it on normal light thats brighter for doing technical stuff. check it out its called the petzl emergency headlamp

I use a hand crank powered LED, so i just push down on it with my hand and it makes a bright fading light so even when im in the dark i get a glimpse o where im painting and which lines go where.

I hate painting at night. Very few well lit spots. Daytime is really the only way to go. You look a lot less sketch walking around during the day, especially in strange areas.

The only fun thing to do at night is just tag with mops/markers/whatever in normally busy residential/business areas.

02-24-2010, 05:21 PM
Ya...donno bout you guys but why is it that the most commen sense ideals of doing graff are questioned...Why the hell would you bring light to an out doors spot...??

Not like you can paint and hold a light and if you DID bring some one and you got a pack full o paint, a flash light and all that...what the hell are you tryin to do get caught and look like an idiot at the same time...??

Remember somethin...Graff is about doin it at good spots but also keep in mind to use whats around you and try to bring as lil as possible.

All in all, heres your answer to this dumb waste of a read thread.

Use moonlight, and wait for the Moon to be in the right phase if anything, other than that, quit bein a pussy and do other spots in the mean time.

There now we don't gotta waste anymore time in this stupid thread and get on with our lives.
