Painter's Touch/american Accents... The End?

[miracle idiot]

I've been noticing recently, here in the midwest, that alot of the American Accents and Painter's Touch lines are being merged into one Painter's Touch line it seems with a male valve system...

Anyone have any experience with this? Or anyone know any details on this?
Painter's Touch and American Accents are two of my favorite lines of paint, I hope they dont completely change them... but it looks like thats gonna be the case. All the female valve system cans I own have 2003-2005 Copywrite dates on them, and the new line with the male valves has a 2006 copywrite on them.

[WestRocMassive]

dude youre kidding right? fuckin those are some of the best cans man. theyre only like a buck but they still rock balls. fuckin shits

[Albert Fish]

more like $3.12 i dont know where youre getting painters touch for a dollar

[C-money fresh!]

most american accents colors are better than hardcore just theres not that many to chose from


better= thicker more opaque

its true

[dajam410]

The can in general looks different, just watch out for it and take every female can they have while they last.

[d_g]

And then someone can design female caps and they'll make a fucking killing on that shit. And hurry up and make some, I need some in NZ.

[Rogue]

They already have female caps

I've only seen the Male valve on the Painter's Touch Gloss, but it could have spread. Rusto will get over it and start making the male valves again on all of there paint, but atleast until then, ome of it still is female.

[def.]

my home depot just switched all of their pt/aa to male valve systems, so i am pretty bummed out.

[minor crimes]

male valves arnt that bad. just use a deodorant cap if you want a round dot. my 3dollar cans in aus are male valve so dont winge

[crozzy]

now americans suffer the same shit as aussie writers who use aussie exports / whatever else that isnt ironlak. i dont get why some companies even still make male valve systems, if your rough with the tin and the tip snaps your fucked and cant use it again. theyre fucked for caps, despite all the hairspray / cooking oil and whatever else they still dont compare to a skinny banana or a super silver fat.

[dajam410]

I'm sure that if almost all cans became male-valved, some companies would start producing new caps for them. Who would buy female caps if you can only use them on expensive shit like Montana and Belton? Most writers can't afford it.

[scape-one]

rustoleum is just trying out the female valves for a temporary time,eventually i there supposed to switch back,from what ive heard

Yes it does. They are trying to market their new comfort tip, and see how it sells. It&#39;s basically a beta test of paint. But, who knows how long they plan to keep them.

if you did you&#39;re a retard.

if you didn&#39;t. you&#39;re a retard.

[linuss]

i&#39;ve only noticed a few colors being switched to the male system, mainly gloss colors. just pop the cap off and make sure before you get it

yes i actually just got back from Homedepot and almost all of the cans were replaced with the newer painters touch there were only a few of the older cans left and i snagged em . it sucks that they did this since american accents have some of my favorite colors

[dinedgc]

they have some really nice new colors too, that&#39;s the worst part

i wish they&#39;d make custom caps to fit the new valve system

[uknome]

from what i&#39;ve see only the satin painters touch has a male valve system...everything else is still female...im in cali though baby...haha

[shie a.k.a. drone]

yesterday i racked some of those key lime painters touch and i got home and realized that they had male valves and i was pissed.

[RustyBurrito]

[miracle idiot]

I was down in Nashville this weekend, and the Home Depot down there had switched out basically every Painters Touch with the new line...

Anyone know where to order caps that fit a male can valve system?

[sens1]

when i use the american accents i ussually just use it for an outline. the caps on them produce a good clean line. med-skinny. but i mostly use montana and belton. i get hooked up.

[def.]

the labels are different on the male cans. and everybody saying that only the satin ones are male, gloss was male and now all the flats in my home depot are male. watch out.

[SEDA FM]

male valves........ dammit.... and i just found a place to get astros.....whatever... guess ill just use WD40 caps and Axe deodarant caps for the fats and try to find some that r good for outlines

I already tried WD40 caps on a Krylon Fusion can which have male valves and it doesn&#39;t work, I tried lots of other female caps too, and none seem to fit the male valves, so I doubt it will work on the new Painters Touch cans. I guess we&#39;ll have to find some kind of adaptor to allow male caps to fit on the new cans. All the Painters Tough cans I&#39;ve racked recently have female valves, so they must have not changed it over in Canada yet.

[souper-soker]

well knock on wood...(knock knock) i havent started 2 notice this in the jerz...hopefully wont ever happen out here...maybe there just testing it out there 2 see if it works out then thell bring it out here if it does.hopefully not tho.

the stock cap is ok for outlines.

[Church]

Im in pittsburgh right now, but i remeber awhile back in NJ all the spraypaint was male caps at the home depot. ALL of it, even rusto. Fucking unpro if you ask me <_<

[tesfortis]

I live in Michigan & the only male valves I&#39;ve seen are on the gloss painters touch. I love the American accent colors... all of them. I hope they don&#39;t change.

[fnt]

I went to home depot today and they had a lot of awesome colors definately more than usual, I bought a couple of can, and as I was leaving I remembered this thread checked and they were male cans. So I went back and returned them...

If anyone wants female caps Mtn Colors (http://mtncolors.com) sells them from their website because their classic cans have male valves. Here&#39;s a link to their caps http://www.mtncolors.com/s.nl/sc.2/category.16/.f they have fats and skinnies, I&#39;m thinking about ordering some myself.

that doesn&#39;t make sense, they&#39;re just European style caps, you can get male them or make them already. Why would they spend the money to change the cans when they could just make a male european style cap?

[Cash HYE]

i was at lowes and home depot today and jsut about all the cans had the new caps on them except for the 98 cent stuff on the floor. i remember that awhile ago i was able to get the cap out and toss in a regualr cap i had but i forgot how i did it.

[ShadowDwellerOner]

Tresseme hair spray caps work. or save some lunch money and go to mtn&#39;s website and order the mtn classic caps for male valve cans Just because you graff doesnt mean that everything has to be fuckin free man and anyways with enough practice you can just learn how to get use to the caps the only problem i see is that since they are any angle spray it doesnt let you spray out some extra pressure.

Word. just use the stocks
One nice thing about the new valves is that you can spray at any angle. so I can tag the ground better, which might seems stupid but its fun sometimes

[fnt]

can you still clear the caps by turning the can upside down?

[ShadowDwellerOner]

no thats one of the problems with the any angle spray. you just have to take the cap off and blow through it but try and do it before it clogs cause chances are you cant blow hard enough to clear the clog.

[fnt]

yeah I just got a can today, you can&#39;t clear the valve like normal, but I think it would be good if you were upside-down painting on a bridge. I&#39;m surprised, I really like the new valve, you can get super skinny lines it you press lighter, then you can get bigger than a stock cap if you press harder. Plus this is using the same cap. Maybe I&#39;ll take some pictures to show.

[ShadowDwellerOner]

yea the valve is decent now try and use it to throw down your outline its very possible just not as easy as being able to use a german outline. I see homies that can pull it off like its a regular can but they&#39;ve also been paintin 10+ years

[fnt]

I took two cans, one flat black rusto with the normal valve and a german outline, the other gloss key-lime green painters touch with the new valve and the cap that came on it. I was trying to see which could get the thinnest line, I sprayed on a piece of cardboard that already had a lot of spray paint on it so it would stick instead of soaking into the cardboard. They seemed pretty equal, here are the photos, click them to enlarge.

by the way the nasty texture of the paint is because it&#39;s been a rainy day, and some water dripped

[ShadowDwellerOner]

ok now can you control the can as easily and make it appear as clean as well. hey dont get me wrong even if you do throw down a shitty outline on your piece cause of the cap you can always come back and cleanup any mistake

[cormac]

i dunno if u guys can get these over there but i ordered these here i aus for use on export and the were pretty good worked with pinkdots nyfats gold dots german outlines but rusto fats were too thick loose a bit of pressure in the transfer but they r really good otherwise

http://thebutchershop.com.au/products_view...&product_id=751 (http://thebutchershop.com.au/products_view.php?page=store&product_id=751)

[ShadowDwellerOner]

Cormac I have a few questions for you about those. Is the lost pressure really noticeable? Doest it ever leak from under the cap? And it looks like its made of Brass, are they durable or do you think your going to be needing to order a pair every month or so

[fnt]

that&#39;s awesome I was wondering if there was an adaptor, hopefully I can find them in the us

[fnt]

also you can easily mix paint and fill other cans like axe, just use the wd40 straws no modification needed

[MFGrimm]

painters touch&#39;s got some fat color selection where i live. hope it dont change

[meRlin68]

sorry 2 be a dumbass but
whats the difference between male and female valve systems?
im guessing the male one has sum penis-like characteristic wich wuld be why its called male

[fnt]

they&#39;re still pretty lame even though you can get it thin, because it&#39;s hard to do.

here&#39;s (http://zenstoves.net/Canister/MaleTip.jpg) basically what a male valve is, the picture is from a butane can, but it&#39;s almost exactly the same

here&#39;s (http://zenstoves.net/Canister/CVtop.jpg) a female valve

most paint has a female valve, so most graffiti caps are male. since rusto and its sub-brands are now using a male can valve, so people can&#39;t use their caps with it.

[spag]

damn that&#39;s not a typical male valve. it&#39;s been taking some viagra. haha nah jus playin. butane one&#39;s are just bigger.

[Flash_One]

those male valves fuckin suck, dont get them

[meRlin68]

k, thanks man
and yeah, ive never seen a male valve can (or maybe i have, idk, THC killed my memory) ive seen these cans frum an auto store w/ built in windex-style caps tho

[role]

rusto site doesn&#39;t display product info and stuff for the painters touch without a (SATIN) or (GLOSS) bubble, i&#39;ve noticed the bubble ones are all the new valve.... i would guess from that they&#39;re taking the change to permanent (at least for painters touch?), who knows though, i figure they would lose some mad money because a good deal of writers won&#39;t buy the male cans... hell i&#39;d rather use krylon or color place than the males

mntcolors.com has male vale caps for sale but they cost a bit if that helps anyone

[fnt]

it&#39;s way better if you have no caps because you can still get skinny, also it covers a lot better and actually has colors compared to color place which has like black and white

also here&#39;s a google cached version of www.stencilrevolution.com/forum/viewtopic.php]how (http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:9tZbnctLCQsJ:[url) to make male caps into female caps[/url], but you&#39;re going to need to find some non-hooded female caps

It says right on the site "does not work well with American brands".

Anyone find a cap off of some kind of cleaner or something that works as a fat cap? The stock tips are fine for outlines its just going to be a pain in the ass having to clean them because they clog pretty quickly.

[Sintakz]

Alright, I know most people are going to hate me but I think it is great that they went to the male valve system. It will keep us writers on our toes, we will have to find ways to mod caps to be skinnier, fatter, w/e.

Luckily I bookmarked this page a while back since I had a feeling I would one day need to use it. http://www.stencilrevolution.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18913 enjoy.

the mtn caps for males don't fit american brands. it spits paint everywhere, but not out of the nozzle. don't use them, any of you!

why would anyone want to "be on their toes" and "find new ways to mod caps" when,.....
we could just buy them......
And all the Flat colors of american accents are still being produced, or atleast sold in huge quantities,
I think it's just the glossy colors that got switched,

For the simple fact that the pioneers of graffiti had to do it. They didn't have companies mass producing fat caps and german outliners or anything, they found caps on other things that worked good and if need be the found ways to make new caps out of the caps they could find. Now-a-days everyone wants shit put out on a silver platter for them. Notice how in the ink thread, marker thread, DIY thread its all the same questions being asked over and over? It's because people are afraid to experiment and try something new.

Just my 2 cents

[YUMI27]

yeha I agree shit is too accesible
but as long as BS and similiar sites are around new caps while probably end up like ghetto krink, or racking from Michaels, everone knows about it, people will act like its some sort of secret thing, and reciting some 3-line recipe for paint is like some code word to be accepted by the cool grafftagers, so I guess I feel like "whynot keep it simple".



you know what...
I don't know what I think....
apologiez to anyone wasting they time readin that.

[ekimboi1]

ya know there are pleny of male caps or watever they called that you can rack off of household shit like WD-40, 2+2 brake cleaner, and some other shit mostly car supplies stuff (since my dads a mechanic) have fat caps but there male valve system caps!

[Jet]

that's true but if you try them on the PT cans most will not fit. So far I've only found 1 decent fat cap and I can remember what it was on...... just get lots of caps from car products, they usually spray the fattest (armorall type of shit) and also oven cleaners

[Kayone707]

And all the Flat colors of american accents are still being produced, or atleast sold in huge quantities,

you think wrong

[RUP'E]

i always use deoderant caps and wd 40 caps and stuff.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

male valves arnt that bad. just use a deodorant cap if you want a round dot. my 3dollar cans in aus are male valve so dont winge

haha are your three dollar cans aussies export??
its what i have to use, no fancy montana or ironlak paint on the central coast(cept some shop at the entrance)

[RUDE_Bwoy]

ive never tried painters touch.any good?

[whocares!?!?!]

painters touch grape and berry pink cover like no other...

[its all good till the cops come]

its not tht much of a crisis. usually youd use the funky colors for fills so you wouldnt really need a certain cap. y would you get an outline color with tht?

[Rambooboo]

pt and aa without male can some times be found in back of the stack but wat i have heard from another topic rusto got an anti graffiti award for doing this but they only did it to the colorful brands so we can still use the industrial for bombing but yeah i found some at the home depot in the back stack and i asked them to look in their inventory and they brought me some older cans

[Flash_One]

i got a can of painters touch today in canada and its fine, i think this is only in the states.

i love that color, just had to say that

[sgLoki]

I noticed that too...the gloss and matte painters touch sometimes has the female stem, I personally like the stock cap for anything but outlines and shading....

The quickest answer to your question would be to actually call rusto, you can find their contact info on their webpage and they will call you if you ask them to. I already talked to them to see what the buying requirements were to become a registered rusto dealer. (approx 100 gal a month) in case anyone else wondered...how that equates in cans I am not sure, but rest assured its a shitload.

IF they do go all female stem I'll be shopping for a new brand and crying myself to sleep at night.... but they won't do that.

[[NESTER]]

uhhh key lime is amazing...does anyone no what caps work the best with painters touch ive tried like everything and they all leak..i havent tried rustos though any ideas?

[coconutfred]

k
i dont wanna seem like a toy cunt
k are the proffessionals caps (maclaims, pink dots, german skinnies) you get male or female?

[shie-ster]

theyre male caps.male caps are caps that have a stem (for obvious reasons ;))

[BizerkIZ]

i got a caboodle of female caps varying from fats, to skinnys ect..

but, you can make a fat cap by taking an exacto knife and cutting a line like this X on the hole. the dot where the spray comes from
to make a caligraphy make a line -
and a skinny, bore a hole in with a pin, and there it is, its skinner, but slightly heavyer..

the way that skinny caps and fats work with female caps are that the dot holes are cone shaped, very fine, and that spreads the paint, and skinnys have bigget holes, so if you look for caps with finer holes the fatter they are, and the larger the skinner. and for fat caps too, think about how they would spread the stuff, like air freshener, sometimes has fats, and especially furnature polish, has to cover a large area.. so they often have them..

peace. :)

ALL I GOTTA SAY IS WTF

[desincrustant]

I think theyre only doin this in the states, all the pt cans here in Canada are still female!

EDIT: i just got 5 cans and theyre all perfectly fine..

[djsupreeme]

might be because they haven't got any new shipments yet ^^

[desincrustant]

the paint goes fast at my home depot and at my walmart, and its at every single other place i've been too, i think its cause graff is a major issue with you guys, they hardly buff anything here in Toronto =D

[Rots takes your Daughters]

Hahaha I know how to fix the cans to fit normal tips..don't need to though, they still sell the normal ones here.

[silentchaos14]

well why dont u fill us in anyway? and all the pt/aa ive seen have been normal.

[ForOhWun]

Hahaha I know how to fix the cans to fit normal tips..don't need to though, they still sell the normal ones here.

That would be good. Please Rots PLEAAAASe

[Rots takes your Daughters]

Nah I promised I wouldn't tell. It involved power tools though.....

[BizerkIZ]

Hmm.. mind if i tell them?


you take and angle grinder so the side of the new can.

nah just kidding, its not that.. i know how but i dont use it hardly ever.

[Rots takes your Daughters]

Yeah it's wayyyy too much work for a lazyass like me.

[k 126]

I don't know why rusto changed the can,that new tip sucks.

[MuramZA]

I don't know why rusto changed the can,that new tip sucks.

The fake ass black dot? It is the end of Painter's Touch. I guess people were complaining that their tip would clog since many people are to lazy/stupid to clear the valve. Either way, it's the end for that line

[RUDE_Bwoy]

yeah i just got my first pt yesterday.havent used it yet tho

[REPTAR_3RK]

The male end cans actually have a decent stock cap. ive gotten pretty thin outlines from them. im from canada. they still sell the male and females. but they are switching to male. so stock up while you can. and if yuou want different caps. go to a hair salon or somthing or your sisters room if you got one and take all the caps from the hairspray and what not. cuz those cans are all male end so they will fit on pt.

[PG_Miscreant]

needle cap? duh

[PG_Miscreant]

dont ruin the moment 4 me, it gets wider if u cut it tho

i hate the new male valve. I felt ripped off when i got them, although my friends later pointed out that i didnt pay, but still i feel ripped off.
I went back and took a bunch of the tips off the male valve cans so id have extra just in case they clog.
Im gonna go get some WD40 tips.

btw those arent so great unless u put needle in em, they are a bit shitty they have a slow reaction time but better than stox for fat cap i spose

[LUST:(]

yeah I just got a can today, you can't clear the valve like normal, but I think it would be good if you were upside-down painting on a bridge. I'm surprised, I really like the new valve, you can get super skinny lines it you press lighter, then you can get bigger than a stock cap if you press harder. Plus this is using the same cap. Maybe I'll take some pictures to show.

I think they are good for outlines, but it felt like they easily clogged up and now I have two PT cans that I can't kill because I don't have any tips for it.

for those of you that need some females
all the pt/aa is fine in my area...

[thatkidyouknew]

oops i didnt read
they do not work on painters tuch/ american accents
hahaha opps oppsssssss

[markingz.]

I've been noticing recently, here in the midwest, that alot of the American Accents and Painter's Touch lines are being merged into one Painter's Touch line it seems with a male valve system...

Anyone have any experience with this? Or anyone know any details on this?
Painter's Touch and American Accents are two of my favorite lines of paint, I hope they dont completely change them... but it looks like thats gonna be the case. All the female valve system cans I own have 2003-2005 Copywrite dates on them, and the new line with the male valves has a 2006 copywrite on them.

Discuss...

yeah Ive noticed this too, and Ive used the ones with the different cap system before and there pretty good, the only thing is I dont think you can use caps on the new ones, but as far as colors the colors seem to be pretty good.
