Tips For Painting In The Winter

[bigtakeover]

do you guys have any recomendations here, i was out painting yesterday and i got frostbite, and also just froze my ass off. like good gloves that i can wear under latex ones.

[Live4TheWall]

Well thats part of the problem, I would just recommend getting a pair of cotton gloves, or like work gloves that you dont care about and use them. Cause what happens is your hand in the latex glove sweats because it cant breath too well, and then the sweat makes your hand all moist and water pulls heat away from your hand like 2/3s faster than normal or something along those lines.


I would also recommend layers for the rest of you man, layers are good. Get some thermal underwear, and good socks. And dont forget to wear a hat, their always a good idea.

[T R E O]

keep your paint warm and wear warm cloths is all i say

[kent]

forget about the latex gloves, yeah just get some work gloves or something like that
you can get those black cotton gloves pretty cheap too, those work

[crac]

i use stanfield thermal wear.. pants and longsleeve.. then a stanfield cotton sweater and a jacket.. keeps me realy warm.
the gloves thing.. wear your latex gloves underneather a paint of.. " mechanix gloves thats the company name.. you can pic up a pair at like a canadian tire or lordco are any other place that sells tools and car stuff.. there kelvar top with a leather palm.. so they keep your hands warm but you can also have that nice grip from the leather.. and if your having problems with your paint. toss some socks into the dryer for about 20 minets then put your cans in the warm socks..

[ShIfTeD]

get some gortex dunks ;)


bought them just for the cold

[EsEyeKayBiotch]

how do you keep your paint warm...also my caps seem to fuck up more in the winter...or maybe it's b/c my paint gets cold...I don't know...some tips on how to trouble shoot that problem will be appreciated

Hey btw I don't use gloves to paint I use those pocket warmers and stuff b/c gloves sorta get in my way abit...thats always an option

PIECE~~~~>FLAW SIK FOE RV DR

[Red3]

Keep them against you body(paint), or any way they stay warm.

Pocket warmers?

[Bazer]

put shortcuts in your armpits to keep them warm if you use those. ive used them in freezing weather and a ny fatcap and the can popped on the bottom. i got orange paint all over my shoes and i left an ulgy ass tag that looked like someone threw a bucket of paint at it. im not sure if it had somethin to do with the weather or the cap on a smal can..does anyone know?

[wookiE]

beanies and gloves

[bigbomba']

cans in the arm pit, and if you wear underarmor stick normal cans in your groan area to keep them warm

[cast LI]

hahah dude where do you live?


its been like 50s-70s all week in new york

[bigbomba']

yea detroit got snow the october 2nd.... and we havnt seen any since... yea we are all going to die!!!

[SCOPE2]

watever you do, dont go out bombing when its snowing, one its cold, and two, you leave footprints and its easy to track you by them, unless its a place where everyone walks, and its all moooshie...ewww.

[cast LI]

dude you dont need to worry abotu snow in brooklyn hahaha especially now

[enuf.]

Ha same in ohio,

Shit it's going to be warm from now on so i don't have to worry bout it!

[M.P.L.S. run from the po-po's]

whats fucked up is i also got frost bit on my right index fingure. its fucked up, shits all blistered, its horrible.

Here in Minneapolis its been 30 degrees a night so not toi bad.

[Flash_One]

I got frost bite all over my fucking ears, when I was in edmonton it got fucking almost -40. :(

["Skab"]

i suggest painting in the nude when its freezing outside haha
or wear a thick sweater gloves and dont forget the double socks!

[yakrian]

I live in Northern Canada...about 1000 miles above Montana. Just wear warmer pants...snowpants if you're gonna be out as long as I am. Go to a snowboard shop and get some Pipe-Gloves...they're thin enough that you've got decent ability to feel, yet warm enough that your fingers won't be numb. Larger jackets have more space to hide cans and markers and shit. Also, don't worry too too much about keeping your cans warm...if you're using the shit brands with more aerosol than paint, the cold will lower the pressure...which certainly isn't a bad thing. That's my 2.869000001 Cents.


Yeah, Flash...that shit was COLD. I was gonna hit some trains and said "Fuck that..."

[topclot]

I'm living in the pacific north west and it aint the cold, it's the fucking constant rain!

but i guess that doesnt really solve any of your problems.

[dajam410]

It doesn't get too cold in Maryland.

[Wilt]

Ireland is cold all the time we get about 2 weeks of warmness in july and the rest of the time it pisses rain and is windy. I wish we could get some Global warming in dublin

[uhhh]

here in ohio you could go paint in your t-shirt, then later in the day it would jump down 20 degrees, awesome weather.

[i write]

ahaha the coldest it gets in aus is like 5C. you can go paint in jeans and a shirt.

[Yukon]

i live in whitehorse by anchorage and it gets 2 about -50 so you cant really paint here in the winter

[SCOPE2]

how do u pant if it gets that cold
on the can it sais keep in temperatures of 70-80 for good performance...

[eyesore]

the paint drips a bit more, but thats it

[Slaze]

STICK YOUR HANDS IN YOUR PANTS... im not even joking, saved my hands many a time. other than that cloves with latex gloves over them to keep your grip.

my other winter tip is to use belton paint, its all seasons and weather.

[bigtakeover]

i posted this new years day and it just got approved, but thanks for the help, i was painting the 31st of december in a tunnel and it was just incredibly cold, its been unseasonably warm here for the past week since that.

[EsEyeKayBiotch]

ok I don't know if this will work...but you know those adhesive heat pads you use for muscle tension and stuff...well what would happen if you put those on your paint cans...it will 1. keep your paint warm and 2. keep your hands warm =) I may have just done you all a service...I'm going to try this out!


FLAW BITCH!!

[bigbomba']

but give it a try and if it work post your experiance

[wookiE]

80 bucks of heat pads haha. how cold is it

[bombingwalls420]

yeah, dude i know how you feel. i got frost bite last night when i was bombing shit

[Ares_23us]

:blink: :rolleyes:

[Tagger101]

Wear those thin black gloves
big jacket
sweat pants under jeans


most of all
bandana over face
keeps it uber warm

[acidconceptone]

here is a winter tip. do your first outline with your index finger but your fill in with your thumb. this allows your index finger to not be extremely cold so it may actually function to do outlines. try it.

[~LOOK~]

bring something to wipe off the dew if ya need it

[bombingwalls420]

Acidcon. that really does work cause when i paint i do that. but if you keep filling in with your index you will get frost bite on the tip if your not carful. it happend to me.

[Skit-zo]

Ya if you get some hand warmers n put em at da bottem of the can of spray they'll keep your paint warm n also i like to use regular gloves n cut da fingers off so i can get a good grip on da can. :D

[Chai]

In the winter I just stick to throwups and tags because of the weather.
I hate winter; we got our first snowfall a few days ago- global warming has becoming fucking terrifying.

[anarchy]

wear thin glove liners with big latex gloves on the outside.

or just the glove liners.

thin but warm is best. get somthin with gore-tex or some shit.

[EKE]

My suggestion for not getting frostbite when ur bombing during the winter... move to california :lol:

[T_R_O_N]

get a north face, or dress warm

[~LOOK~]

are you serious? dude if your from the valley in cali you know as i do its cold as fucking balls here right now. maybe not snowing but my whole lawn and car is iced over almost every morning. . .

[Tagger101]

Keep your krylon cans warm
warm as you can keep them
Rusto with NY fats is a No No
It drips like a bitch then freezes
Also Those thin black gloves (another pair if you want)
And the latex free rubber gloves
there like 97 cents but free to rack
Big coat with hoodie
Sweat pants then jeans
2 pairs of socks
hat
Bandana

[Walters]

well i will tell you one thing it is cold as hell but you can tagg alought of places without packing to much heat because cops arent looking for people doing graffitti now

[>>Joker<<]

just use gloves u really dont care about
cheap ones that u can get at ace hardware or something

[~LOOK~]

not in my town. . .
500 dollar reward for turning in painter&#39;s here

you are an idiot

[INFEKTED]

-LAYERS&#33; MANY MANY LAYERS

-wool socks

-JACK A BUNCH of hand warmer packets from wally world, and put them everywhere you want. I put one in each shoe and it honestly cooks my feet, it&#39;s awesome. To keep the cans warm, put a hand warmer in the bottom of a sock, then slide the can in after it, this way the heat raises up through the can (the hand warmers last more than 10 hours).

-can&#39;t tell you much on gloves. I&#39;ve been SOL in the gloves department. I even live in the middle of Colorado, and I can&#39;t manage to figure out how to keep my hands warm. Usually everything on my body gets fried except my hands (hand warmer overload). It gets below freezing at night here.

JACK A BUNCH of hand warmers....can&#39;t tell you enough..

edit: Rack one of those gun-like handles with the trigger that click onto your can..
http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a310/IhaveAsuckySN/sprayhandle.jpg
THEY WILL SAVE YOUR HANDS. They wont fit if you have a tip with a donut base on it (orange dots, etc), so stick with rusto with rusto fats on em.

[tha boy in da corner]

put on 2 FRESH pairs of socks on your feets...

sweat pants under jeans or even basket shorts under jeans are not an absolute necessity but it helps a lot.

The #1 ennemy in winter when you&#39;re outside is humidity...
if you wear 87 layers of wet clothes you&#39;re gonna get frostbites anyways&#33;

Getting in and out of buildings is a no no, why?

when you get into a hot place you sweat... it makes your clothes wet, the you go outside this humidity chill the shit out of you&#33;

as far as paint goes i dont know why you&#39;re still painting in iwnter since it is chemically impossible to get somethin straight in that weather but as a snowmobiler i know a few things about cold and clothing lol&#33;

[YNOT iN SF]

Put Some Clotheds On... And Some Paint... U dont need a lot of Layers on yall... Yall GOnna Be Hot Anyways If U Do Throwies and Bullshit Tags

[TruOne]

i dont realy care about the cold.. its 20 degrees below C. ok.. its cold.. but the only thing that gets cold on me is my cheeks :D i dont wear gloves..nore a hat.. nore 2 pairs of socks (disturbing) ant i use monatanas. they dont change a bit even in -35C
pff.. i dont even paint with gloves.. use a needle cap ant tahts it. or if ure afraid of the weather.. stay at home -tahts my moddo :)
now i think all of you will think im nuts or an idiot or a toy wtw
oh yea ant whats the penalty for being cought taging? in Lithuania (my country) its about 3000- 4000 LTL (1500-2000&#036;)
theres even a day talk show about toys being cought by regular police :D
the only "graffiti evacuating service" are god damned bichez from univercities. pussies only paint ower graffiti.. to slow to cach us :D myabe il make a photo of a wall taht was ownd and repainted and some toy wrote "LOL" on top :D

[BRAINE]

i paint the same in the winter as in the summer, i just move slightly faster

flat black economy paint for fills when necesary
otherwise, all rusto, all day, rusto fats only.

[[NESTER]]

why would u wanna keep your paint warm? i tend to put my cans in the fridge b4 i go writing cause the paint tends to flow out of the can better. just a trick i think works well.

[MoNkEy]

but outside its going to be freezing so they will cool to much that the pressure in the can will be a lot lower so no paint will come out or very little will.

[Jroc1993]

i have the fuckin best tip in the world for writing in the winter:



[SIZE=7]DONT DO IT&#33;&#33;&#33; :D[SIZE=7]

or just use markers n shit like that where u dont gotta freeze yur hands off the whole time B)

[thegreatfrenchpoptart]

i usually where a white tee black tee over it a long sleeve thermal hoody, coat long johns pants nike dunks and a beanie cloves too and if there is snow double your socks and where boots

[TruOne]

double ur socks.. disturbing.. :blink:

[3mpir3]

yeah i live in Canada and when i use my Montana in the cold it doesn&#39;t work so i don&#39;t even bother

spanish or german?

[Fore!]

If your worried about your cans freezing up get some hot waterbottles and heating pads and put them in your backpack with the cans. Other then that...keep yourself warm and go fast.

[cky2521]

get a ski mask&#33;&#33; i have one it works magic on your cold face&#33;

it sometimes makes my face too hot.
:ph34r:

[InsaneSanity]

Most of Graff paint works well in the cold... but when i use krylon or rusto which is my main racked brand..

I Keep them close to my body, like in my jacket ect..

Sometimes Wrap each can in a pair of socks if its really cold.

If i have more cans then i wrap them in socks with a hot water bottle in my bag. those baby&#39;s deserve it.

[sens1]

stick your hand down your pants for a min. you will be good to go.

[Nervone]

Just layer up and i keep my paint on the inside of my hoody

[ternoner]

something about the winter that mmakes me go all out alls i got to say is warmth=better presser flow=cans in socks+handwarmers= summer pressure flow :D

[chief]

that oil chalk shit apparently works but i never tried it
and my pilot nib froze on a metal door half way through a tag

[SCOPE2]

i put a lot of sock, but my paint still wont work
but heres a winter tip, when its like a blizzard,and everyone house is covered in snow... showell their driveway and get cash. just went and got like 50 bucks from this guy tring to get out og his house.

does this work at 3:30 am in tha morning?

[EsKoNeR!!]

winter painting sucks but yay&#33; i get to deal with it 8 months of the year&#33; ha

[Tade]

i fucking hate winter... SOO MUCH. but its easier to get away with painting in the winter, cause everyone&#39;s too damn cold to be a hero citizen and stop you. no one&#39;s gonna be like, "OMG GRAFF WRITER&#33;&#33; RAAAH IM CALLING DA POLICE&#33;&#33;" and get out of their car to yell at you if its like 20 degrees out.

but handwarmers work. and dress warm.

[cast LI]

i just got a new snowboard jacket this year. and it holds like 10 cans&#33;

i used my dad&#39;s jacket once and it holds 14 cans. and 2 jumbo montana/belton

so yeah big ghetto jackets. warmth and can carrying capabilities&#33;

[groneg]

how the fuck could u fit 14 cans in a jacket.. u have no backpack?

[MASTE2]

Winter is horrible, it&#39;s like 10 degrees here with windchill factors an shit. I can&#39;t wait for fuckin spring, cause there&#39;s no way I&#39;m wandering around for 3 or 4 miles hitting up buildings.

But as for the topic, what I found was easy to do was (if you&#39;re fuckin old enough to drive like me) hold a can or two up to your heater inside and turn it on high. Then run out like the goddamn dickens and spit your fill and outline. Hop in, drive really fast making sure to hit a squad car on the way back to the safehouse.

Fuck.

[ansichrist]

here in finland it&#39;s -20 C atm, but we&#39;re still painting, and no problems. just remember to wear warm clothes & gloves. i use leather gloves, some use cotton gloves under gardening gloves... those latex gloves suck on wintertime. and shake your cans well, you have to shake them all the time to keep them from freezing... and some cans don&#39;t cover as well as they do on warmer conditions, but otherwise, paint like it&#39;s summer. but don&#39;t use latex or paint frozen walls. ;)

[SCOPE2]

its not so cold anymore,
wooooooo

[v e n s r.]

two words:


rusto fat.

[beantownboy]

in boston its mad cold wen I put the cans on me they were fine and was snowing my hands did not frost up :ph34r:

i was well and ready on may way to go bombing(it was snowing that night) when i hopped the fence and was leaving my yard i realized i was going to be the only set of prints out there at midnight. so i forced myself to turn back n wait it out.

[RoEbot]

if you can get like downtown with your paint, i love painting in shit. one night it was fucking -15, no lie. and i was out for 2 and a half hours bombing the east side of my city. [good ol&#39; rochester ny] and i mean you gotta dress warm as fuck i had like thermal pants and shirt, a pair of jeans, timberlands, 2 t-shirts 1 hoodie, pair of baseball gloves, and a black bandana and i mean i got a cold but i just took crazy amounts of zicam and that shit went away, but when its mad shitty like that there is NO ONE out.

and you gotta remember
the cops hate running in the cold just as much as you do ;)

[tense]

molotow paint

[youngprophecy]

im bumpin this cause since its almost winter why not

[tha boy in da corner]

Fuck.


While you drive to the spot just put your cans in a bag/box in the footwells and put the heater on high that way the cans get warm...

Once you'Re there get a lunchbox or something that can fit all your cans in and throw the cans in... a pocket warmer can help also...

The point is a insulated lunchbox keep stuff cold OR hot... so basicallly you are extending the time your cans stay hot!

[RUDE_Bwoy]

its a bitch writing in winter.your hands get cold and it fucking hurts

[Flash_One]

i got my hands on a ski mask/ balaclava they work great and cover your whole face keeping your face protected from frost bite.
But just wear good clothes and shit...

[Lester Berns]

Waaahhh my fingers are cold... waaaaaahhhh my pieces that are drippy in August are even sloppier now.... Geez people. muscle through it or just go to the buffet and wait for april. thats my take.

[PG_Miscreant]

wear layers
if its windy u wont be able to spray most high or outdoor spots cuz itll be 90% mist

[Lester Berns]

I disagree with the statement about high winds = mostly mist... Painted during hurricane "termoli" in italy 2003... my piece, as well as crew mates was crisp... like I said above... muscle through it... experience is the best thing you can bring with you when you go painting... reading about it online will only get you so far (not very far). Thats my take.

[Flash_One]

yeah ive never had a problem with wind be4

[FrEEk_nine-o-fizzle]

i just drop tags inna winter...markers are easier to keep warm than cans

[huffer]

^^i never have a problem with anything and im in colorado its almost always winter here.... im going out tonight only problem is ice build up on signs and shit thats the only thing having to break ice off for signs.

[rave905]

yeah its mad cold here one time i did a throw up n after the fill-in my finger was stuck 2 the cap n i tryed 2 pull it off n it pulled the cap outta the can i had 2 rip it off n then use a diff finger 4 the outline

[huffer]

hahah i gottttt allll kinds of those stories, lmao, pitch black in a tunnel its about midnight about 20 degrees outside and the snows falling. i just have latex gloves on and the paint cap is backwards, i pucj down madd hard cause i can baerly feel my hands and the shit sprays into my finger, with the after spray ending up in my mouth, i chocked and ended up collapsing it was the grosest shit. idk how people huff paint.

[rave905]

lol thats awsome

[huffer]

noo that shit blew hahah, kms crew has a dope video where there bombing in the snow real inspiring and nostalgic for me since some of my best memoreis are in the snow.

[Slushi]

If you live in Calorado, why do you have an NY avatar?

[huffer]

^^if your not racist why do you have thath man in your avatar??? lol
but on the real.
because thats the crew.

[Lester Berns]

I'm talking about wholecars in a foot of snow, not frozen street signs or a quick throw up... aahhh nevermind...

[fannypack uprock]

a side note. i appreciate the time you take to post in the tips portion of this forum mr burns. if only kids recognized the sort of advice they were receiving. hmpf. whaddya do.

[-COMIC-KCW-]

damn... if the wall is frozen or wet will it fuck up yer throwies? i live in cally so i wouldnt know

[xtitansx0]

i just drop tags inna winter...markers are easier to keep warm than cans

amen....
if u hold the marker in ur hand it will stay worm and if u want real warmth theres always
asscrack
groin
armpit
paint is so much harder to keep warm

[epikone]

yo no word of a lie , what i use to keep my paint from not getting to cold are these things my mom buys for her mits in the winter ,its these fucked up lil tiny heating pads i think they are called " hot-paws" or some shyt like that they go inside ur boots or mits to kep ur toes and fingers warm ,lol i have two inside pockets in my jacket , so i put like two "ho-paws" in each pocket , mmmm keeps my a lil tosty and the paint warm ,but i really only use mini cans called " just enough" in the winter ,cuz they are smaller and i can keep like 4 cans in my jacket ,lol i duno thats just what i do ,

[einsamkeit]

or you can just dish 200+ $ on the new Nomis heated hoodies. I got one, it's like a portable electric blanket : )

[epikone]

yeah but for the peopel that cant afford that shyt ( not saying i cant , i just didnt know that was even outyet , where do i get one )

[Slushi]

^^if your not racist why do you have thath man in your avatar??? lol
but on the real.
because thats the crew.

When did I say I wasn't racist?

[xtitansx0]

When did I say I wasn't racist?

i lol'd at that
and for not leaving foormarks rto ur house, go in a store or some shit they cant tract you down due to how many pl are in and out
or walk in the street since itsusualy plowed or mushy snow that wont show thta well

[chief]

this has brobably been said but for piecing in the winter bring a small cooler,like one meant for a six pack, fill a bottle up with hot water and put five more cans in keeps them nice and warm so no low pressure.

i was rockin my pilot last winter and after one letter the nib froze and i was more scraping it on a doorway lol. mops are way better in winter time.

[brandonb5269]

i just out 1 of those instant heat pack things that activates when air hits it in each one of my work glvoes
it keeps ur hands warm, and warms the can and keeps it warm well u paint. i carry my paint in my jacket untill ineed them.

[Woak..]

i take a small flask with a hot drink in it, obv. itsup to you what drink you choose..

[AVID1]

Ahhh Also try to hit up places with less wind... I know that here in laval there aren't so many really tall buildings in certain areas, just a bunch of empty lots and fields and shit so there's lots of wind that makes shit alot colder but when I go to downtown montreal there's tons of buildings and shit and the wind isn't strong at all, and it's alot easier.
Sooo just saying in winter it's a better idea to hit up really urban areas with lots of buildings... I might be wrong this is just my experience.

[hazetheone]

haha i cant say i have to deal with theese probs i live in mobile,alabama and the current temp is 65 and 50% humidity so about 70 degrees ha

[Lester Berns]

http://www.upptown.eu.org/upload/uploaded/14233.jpg

Painted today in 22 degrees with snow flurries... No heat packs, no insulated coolers, no drips, and no complaints... Like I said before, layer up and muscle through it...

[sir.one]

how long were you out there.

[Lester Berns]

Just over 3 hours... fat caps are key on a cold day

[sir.one]

word. nice piece.

[hazetheone]

[lololzheffer]

fresh lester berns of belaire

[rave905]

[NEKEL1]

I got frost bite all over my fucking ears, when I was in edmonton it got fucking almost -40. :(

some mite say this looks a lil too bate but i still wear it when its too cold try find one of these i got mine from a stall in brixton:

http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o24/bangkid/balyhat.jpg

[BizerkIZ]

if its so cold your paint stops working (due to aerosol molicules moving slowly due to the low temperature)

put in a scarf in your bag, fresh of the radiator, and check in a few of those handwarmers, crack em and stick em in.. then boil when you need to use again.

but doesn't get that cold down here. ;)

[TheKors]

Lots of thin layers is proven to be warmer than a few thick layers.

FACT. ;D

[Teez-EmM!!!]

argggg i cant see the piece

[mmmburgers]

on the weekend i went bombin
it was like -22c
but i had 2 shirts, a hoodie, and a big winter coat, but my hands, legs and face were FREEZING
and i think im going bombing in like snow pants next time
haha

[-Leski]

Edmonton is fucking cold right now its been down to -30 c with wind chill this past week.

Thermal underwear.
A scarf or pull on neck and lower face warmer.
Hoodie + jacket or bigger hoodie.
Hat or other head warming device. Hood over top.
Gloves, buy mechanic winter gloves if its really fucking cold out. They cost a bit but you get warmth and dexterity.

And you'll live.

Jeans are not a good idea, not during the winter.

The Gloves

best idea ive used is to put on a pair of socks, then put each foot inside a grocery bag, then another pair of socks over each foot....Nobody has to know you got bags on your feet...

Keeps your feet dry which keeps them warmer.
Got mad snowfalls out here right now.

Oh I will for sure, Right after The US fits that statement on it's flag.
That's about as likely as Americas obesity percentage going below 60...


Edit: Ripping on Americans is cliche, I apologize.

[intaout]

Be well layered and when your hands are freezing put them in your armpits or/////swing your arms around like a windmill. It makes the blood flow to them and warms em a bit.

tips for clothing and staying safe in the winter.....
1. Were two shirts with a heavy jacket
2. Were hiking boots...not all out constructions
3. Were a scarf over your face and a hat is good with a hood
4. GLOVES GLOVES GLOVES!!!!!
5. Post up on the highways

[Rots takes your Daughters]

Painting when it's snowing is the best- Wear a big ass jacket with pockets on the inside for paint and no one thinks anything of it. No one will think shit if you're wearing gloves either, it's winter. .....Beltons work well on icy walls too. Better than krylon anyway...

[ACKER]

Ehhh...
Nashville is fucking insane... That UnderArmour works wonders here.
It's about 25-30 degrees here now.


At least this ain't Russia. People freeze in their damn sleep there. Seriously, go look it up.

[S!KE]

i dont know if its just me but i start to heat up after i finish my fill ins and dont even feel the cold anymore. then again i'm from san jose, california. hahah

[djsupreeme]

i dont know if its just me but i start to heat up after i finish my fill ins and dont even feel the cold anymore. then again i'm from san jose, california. hahah
cause u focus your brain away from being cold to doing the shit and not getting caught. if u dont think about being cold u wont be but if ur walkin around thats all u can think about really. just like when people say time flys fast when ur having fun, when ur doin shit your not thinking about what time it is but when you not doin anything, your focusing on the time which makes it seem like it goes slow

[jRez]

gotta rock a ninja mask, under thermal pants and long sleeve, and regular cotton gloves...the ninja mask is key

[MFGrimm]

Was out tonight, in jeans and a hoodie and i give up. -10 outside. I'm using my snowboard shit now.

Real Cold.

[sk8er6]

we dont have REAL winters in central texas, but i do remember wheat pasting in the sleet a year ago. i liked it. kept my senses sharp.

[ekimboi1]

Remember stay dry and stay warm!! and keep cans close to your body so there not so damn cold!2 pairs of socks, shell tops(for running) ski mask(you CAN get away with using it in the day!) thermal shirt,longsleeve shirt, then hoodie. thermal pants with JEANS over!!i was out yesterday in like 20 degree and i was warm with ^^^^^^that on! ps. gloves too!

[desincrustant]

its better in the winter cause no one will chase you in like a foot of snow, and it gets dark at like 5-6pm.
but i stupidly forgot my gloves and now my fingers are killing me..

[Rots takes your Daughters]

Shit last night I went out when it was snowing ... My feet froze and when I had to dip fast, the air was so thin I couldn't breathe. I didn't expect that shit

[whiskey_tpc]

hit up a wall last night didnt realize how cold the can was untill i took of my glove the paint came out so thin nothing but drips fucking sucked it like beeded off the wall

[kermet_1]

yeah same thing happened to me :/

[T O K E]

i tried to put some slaps up and they dont even stick, i think its becuase the signs cold...

[otrfatcap]

Haha you should live in the south...wearin shorts n short sleeves can't go bombin without sweatin...

[hazetheone]

[whiskey_tpc]

it just sucks becuse im in a vally right next to big bear mnt so temprtuers are extreme eithere 25 degrees to fuckin 110

[hazetheone]

haha that sucks dude

[whiskey_tpc]

fuck yeah but never had a problem with a marker in winter so i get aloung

[kausthree]

me and some dudes went taggin at a train stop place last weekend and when i was climbing a fence i lost one of my gloves. my right hand was freezing every place we went.

[whiskey_tpc]

during these winter times i have a reguler sceduel of going to dennys after crushing shit and i always find at least 5 cop cars there and it just cracks me up becuse i know if they did there job they would of caught me and i know theyve seen the stains on my hands

[AEROSOL_FEEN]

whats winter? haha...we have not winter here.....

[AEROSOL_FEEN]

whats winter? haha...we have nowinter here.....

[*Soap*]

I drive in my car when I go out painting... I keep the paint next to the cooling system and I just put in it on hot so the paint is nice and warm (also the cans ;))...
Then I put on my bike gloves (warm ;))...
and that is that...

[crik]

i went out last night. it was around 15 below. just gotta keep the can in your pocket. only thing you can really do are tags and throw ups though cause you gotta keep the can warm. only upside about it is there is NO ONE outside or even wanting to look outside haha! Northern Minnesota. goddamn.

[HEFster]

fog is nice too. just gotta remember to wipe off the wall (if its not brick, etc) cuz little particles of moisture/water stay on there. i didnt bother to do shit and my throwie had a couple sad little drips, give or take it was on the fill, but whatever :(

[crik]

yeah when it's so cold that it can't snow you dont even have to worry about moisture or paint dripping cause it freezes on contact haha

[barkzgotbite]

i just carry my cans in my bag covered in sweaters and shit and there usually fine when i take them out

[hazetheone]

i put them in the pockets of my shorts :)

[REPTAR_3RK]

My advice for keppin your writing hand warm. get a pair of leather thin gloves. mainly for can grip. inside that glove wear a small cotton pair of gloves for insulation. keeps your hands relativly warm and clear of paint. i myself am gonna be doing some experimenting with finger tip insulation.

[Lester Berns]

people, let me get this right, is it below zero where you guys live? I do pieces all winter long, full color, with minimal problems... and it sounds like most of you are just trying to get off a throwup or a scribble... my last piece was on a 22 degree day... I just dont see what all the anguish is about. I'll refer to my previous advice... muscle through it!!!

[crik]

yes it is below zero the past week. 22 degrees isnt bad as long as there isnt any wind at all

[Trippy]

wear alot of layers dumb fuck

[koer1]

do you guys have any recomendations here, i was out painting yesterday and i got frostbite, and also just froze my ass off. like good gloves that i can wear under latex ones.

HELL YA... i couldnt press down the can and the cap felt harder to press i ended up using my thumb lol

[MESN[905]]

make sure U dont bring Ur cans out in the cold for mad time cause they lose pressure and then theyll fuckin skeet all over

[rave905]

yeeeeeeeaaahhhhhh skeet skeet

[Sloth OPK]

dont run through the snow youll leave a trail other than that go to wal-mart in the hunting section and they have the mittens that fold back into cut off gloves those are real nice

[Skeggi]

yeah, running sucks in the winter. you be hella easy to track.

["OPTIK"]

I hate it when you don't have any gloves and when
you spray the areosol from your can makes your
index get all cold and blistered n shit.

[x{parkour}x]

that sorta happened to me except i got paint on my index finger of my glove and the paint kinda froze on too

[Tome_]

anybodys fingers ever seize up in the cold? i'm kinda sketchin cause i don't know if its the cold or i might be gettin arthritis or something. HELP!

[tgc!mtown]

nah go into an auto shop and get some mechanics gloves cuz they fit tight and they keep your hands pretty warm. if you try to use big warm gloves they just get in the way n shit.

[dred]

home depot has some good gloves. they have those
smalls bumps on em so if it gives a great grip on any surface

Agree with your view, i can paint the best in winter after a penis enlargement

[Rambooboo]

^^lol i put some fallen gloves over nitrile keep your heart warmer than the rest cause when your heart gets cold it takes some of the blood from your arms legs and stuf to keep it self warm(greedy bastard) i like my ccs jacket it got down so it is pretty warm head phones in the hood to can also hold 4 cans on the inside

[Tiros1]

supposedly BEAT paint works perfectly in any weather winter or summer...

can anyone confirm/deny?

please

there are only like 2 months where it doesn't snow here and a lot of the safest times to get up is when the weather is horrible and nobody wants to leave their house

i normally just fuck with rusto for free or at a dollar per can, but i think after this summer is over i'm going to start paying for expensive paint for the sake of getting up when it's freezing out

[sauerkraus]

I've never had a problem with painting in the cold. I heard Molotow paint is all rated for extreme temperatures though.
It's easier to hear people coming when they crunch the snow, so that's cool.

btw, anyone from Anchorage, Alaska? I haven't seen shit except for one piece that looked like it was hella old.

Idk man, my finger feels weird after I bombed a few days ago.Had to switch fingers cuz I couldn't push down hard enough.

[Word Wizard]

ALWAYS wear gloves. Theres nothing worse then your index finger freezing up on you and not being able to press down.

[Stuck]

and balls are good handwarmers

[Juelz Santana]
