Painting Hat

[aznroller911]

i've never painted a hat before and i wanna do it. i want to know what kind of marker i should use, and how to start off. do you use pencil?? or just draw it wit marker? well i need help. thanks.

[SLY]

draw it with a marker... and use a permant marker... there are markers meant for clothes and can any1 say close?

[Kayone707]

ive painted hats before...i used "DECO-FABRIC" markers, because its "IDEAL FOR LIGHT & DARK fABRIC!" :lol:

[Zealot]

use deco colours for the fill and an extra fine tip sharpie for the outline. You also gotta move the markers quickley because the paint tends to bleed.

[Esaks]

I used all my Painty markers, available at all craft stores.

[MeZkO]

yea ive never painted hats but those deco markers for fabrics work good cuz i have used them on shirts

[drop]

i got a friend dat paints hats and shoes, n they're dope

[MeZkO]

yo kay u got any pics of the hats u did i would like to see wat they look like?

[Zealot]

Here is a hat I did a couple of months ago.

[MeZkO]

^^^ nice shit man how long did it take u to do? and did u use those fabric deco markers?

[Zealot]

actually it didnt take long maybe 45 minutes and i used normal decocolours.

[draino]

i think some ppl make hats using those little pens you blow in

[Kayone707]

Blow Pens? i tried piecing under a brider with a blow pen once.....passed out

nah but i'll try 2 get a pix of it, the girl lives down the street from me....and im gonna try 2 do a couple more for friends and stuff

[aznroller911]

you dont start off wit pencil? u just draw it wit marker?

[cyens]

Dollard store paint on a dollard store hat
cheap and nice colors
you can use the paint to refill paint markers ( the acrylic base one of course )

[odd_laws_broke]

Depending on the fabric, if you`re having a problem with bleeding or covering, just lay down a base of white out or whatever you call that shit. That white fluid crap. Then go over it, strictly with paint markers and clear coat gives it some more shine. When you use felt tip water based shit, it gets soaking into the fabric and comes out lookin geto.

[the infamous one]

fo sheezy :lol: does the same principal work on t shirts???

[odd_laws_broke]

I don`t usually deal with t-shirts being that they piss me off, all I know is that if you lay a lot of paint or white out down, you shit will become crusty and crack and flake. might be better to use some sort of method with felt. i`ve seen nice shit done with paint markers as well tho, i just don`t have the patience.

[stav]

Oh shit. I just laughed so hard at that.


I use Painty paint-pens for everything, from my blackbook to stickers to a hat. Works out good, but the fumes are maaadd plentiful. Do it in a closed room for an hour and you&#39;ll be sleepin good that night.

[drop]

blow pens would work good cuz u can control the flow, but sumtimes it spits out instead of spraying when you blow hard

[foton]

if you dont want it to come off just getthat glossy shit from like home depot and just spray it lightly over it its gotta be the clear stuff tho

[Earsone2004]

My homies always use the paint markers called decos, they work wonders for that shit and like slap tags

wouldent the white out be to thick?

[GeSuS_KRiST]

yea but it would give it texture you could just use some type of liquid selent or glue or some shit to also give it a smooth serface if any DOPE writers have hats out there let me see flick n i might by one off u if there good

[kronikbomber]

even if the markers os wutever comes out u can just re tag it it would prolly only take about an hour at the most and u could do something different on there too

[kronikbomber]

id suggest using sharpies also just dont keep them in one spot too long

[seap!]

Yo,
Do you guys have a favorite old hat to go bombing in? I used to sport this little brown jammie for years untill someone stole it in a bar.

[DOUK or DIE]

airbrush that shit

[RookieX412]

...yeah an airbrush would be ideal, if you know how to do it...but if you dont...one big mess...

You used a FINE point sharpie for outline or what?

[Zealot]

yah cause the paint pens where bleeding to much, makes it look cleaner. But that peice sucks anyways so it doesn&#39;t matter

[Swank]

use deco paintpens they for fabric and nice hat

[TaLos]

Use Deco paint pens? I got like 5 and that shit comes off and got a few of my shit dirty cause of that. I was wondering would it be the same if you used OTR markers. anyone know? I wanna know how to make those dope jean jackets with the pieces on the back. hit it up.

[thief 127]

i use painters markers and deco fabric. i made a hat using prismas before, turned out ok. and ive made 2 denim jackets using deco and painters both came out dope i like makin denim jackets

[minor crimes]

ahaha u would like get pulled over by a cop or get bashed if u had clothing with graffiti on it. only if it was like a real shirt or something. but sydney is wayyy to red hot. to many toys n shit pisses me off ruining good spots as well

[segrone]

im thinking of doing some
got any more pics?

[CRN-one]

This thread has been dead for a year. Why did you post here? Literally, a year!

It obviously died because it was stupid.

thanks for ruining my day. :(

[PaintThaStreets P.T.S]

ehh then can some one close it.....

[Swavey]

I am by no means a pro, still learnin, but I just use my normal Decos, I have thought of usin the DecoFabric, but haven't got around to it. No complaints thus far on any of the hats I have made for peeps.

http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s79/PoppinSwav/n517696400_86769_7312.jpg

:rolleyes: Swavey

Edit: Sorry, I didnt realize this thread was long since dead... I just posted up quick... My bad

[CRN-one]

don't stress it, since you actually posted something relevent to the topic.

that's a pretty nice hat man. how well does the color hold up? does it flake or chip?

[Swavey]

Thanks man, Im glad you like it.

Looks as good as it did the day I made it for the guy. If you look close in that pic, there is a white outline around the piece itself. that wasnt there in the final product, painting around it and blending the white into the hat makes the colors not fade into the white. Im a hip hop dancer, and so are all the people I make hats for, so they sweat in them a lot. So stoping fading was a must. Only the first hat I ever made faded, cause I didnt use the right technique, every one since then has lasted just fine.

This one was a bit older

i been wearin this hat for the past couple years or almost a couple....and yup i always wear it when i paint

[MontanaPainter]

pretty damn sick otrfatcap

[otrfatcap]

hey swavey why not just white paint down to begin with instead of worrying bout messin up ur peice?? thats what i'd do.

[PaintThaStreets P.T.S]

yeh otr thats sick stuff thier i like the unber the bill thing to i no this has been dead from a few posts ago but realy its a good topic cmon peeps post em up thier sick

[AZTEKA]

Yeah, this topic is old, but so far the hats look cool. Im gonna try to post a hat tag I did later.

[AEROSOL_FEEN]

ive painted hats before...i used "DECO-FABRIC" markers, because its "IDEAL FOR LIGHT & DARK fABRIC!" :lol:
your signature makes me go up....but where did you get those?

and what about the blackbook otrs "ideal for writing on clothing"

[Swavey]

hey swavey why not just white paint down to begin with instead of worrying bout messin up ur peice?? thats what i'd do.

Heh, that would be the smart thing to do!! Only reason I can think of for doin it this way is so the colored paint can fully soak into the fabric... If it in on top of white it may fade faster? I dont know... Iv always ment to lay a white "primer" layer, but never got around to it

[tha boy in da corner]

airbrush or bust

[otrfatcap]

no airbrush or bust crap lol, i do both it goes both ways....but yea swavey, i have a bad problem of just sayin fuck it i wont use primer, but it helps so much, i'll get about halfway into it, when i use a certain color and it fucks the whole thing up (in my eyes)...

i know someones got some flicks...

[harry]

prolly decos nd sharpies nd whatever small permaneb=nt fine point markers u can find really

[rave905]

yo syrup what kinda markers u use thier??

[lololzheffer]

deco fabrick...you could use these little mops from some craft stores called tee juice too. its great its ment for tee-shirts. or airbrush.

[DOOM SV]

use decocolor paint markers, shit works, i sell the hats i make to kids in school.

[City of Trees]

1: get a white trucker hat
2: paint over the white front part with white (or whatever color, looks best w/ white)
3: get paint pens
4: sketch w/ a light color like yellow

that's the basics of it
