Flares

[poetic]

wondering how u do flares. is it possible to do it with same type of cap ona spray or u need fatties or what. thanks

[poetic]

yes i did see it . can someone help me out... i wnat to get something out of posting this thread...

[Tony]

ok, now that this is in the right section

to do a flare when your doing your line pull the can away somewhat fast and angle it up or down depending on wich way your moving...these things should just come naturaly, think of it as your really sort and trying to spray really high.

[poetic]

oicic thanks for helping me out

[searism215]

use new york fats and whip your wrists back quick..youll get a cup and ball at the top of your hand which is hot...if you use pinks or orange fats it just flares regardless

[pSYKAOz]

u can flare with any caps... i love the flare on nythins or fats... farther from wall or greater angle = larger spray... so play around with it... and move those wrists!

[poetic]

would it be possible with standard krylon caps?

[MisterSpeak]

Try to stick a pen in the stock caps to make it fatter, but Krylon is what you should use for flaring it is really number 1.

[x807x]

the way i llok at it is for a normal tag i move my whole arm, and for flares i just move mostly my wrist so the lines get bigeer every now and then. And of course a fat cap is key.

[poetic]

but it is possible without a fat cap right?

[``stab*]

Theoretically, you could do it with any cap, you just have to try some different techniques and caps to find out what works best for you.

[ESNED]

its just all in the wrist and i dunno i do it with all caps but it works best with rustos and fats

[Clevaness]

Toy Question:What is a flare? Are flares those white things that you have that make it look like the light is reflecting off corners and shit? Or is it bubbles?
I'm mad confused

a flare is when the lines of a tag get bigger then smaller. like they get way thick and fadded.


i flare with any caps... its really not hard... gotto a back ally and practice making squiggly lines and flaring them

[ESNED]

a nice effect when u master this is making ti small at the bottom and big and faded at the top. perv did this nicely i ahve a pic fo ti but dunno how to put it on here and im to lazy to find otu my self.

[NISE136]

if u dont know how 2 flare you should not be writin....

[ESNED]

that means there will be no more writers when we all die or stop (u suck if u quit) so i support begginners.

[tha boy in da corner]

practice is the key

[clone]

i love flares. the look so good when done right. as previously mentioned, just practice em on anything. its all in the wrist, its all in the wrist.

[Ravek]

for a while i had no clue what flaring was i had be doing it in almost all my tags, flaring isn't hard to master, i like german outlines for flaring, its not to big and not to small of a flare

[Tony]

now...just about anyhting usefull you could need to know about flares has been answerd, why is this thread still up?

[10-103m]

here is a flare,(ive seen more flarier stuff) slolen from a freights thread in the General discusion part.....
see how the lines get bigger.....whatever,
http://photos.fotango.com/p/eba00380311f00000015.jpg
alot of flares flow more. they are not so stiff and they usually dont have straight lines, but everythings changing now i guess. theres no secrete to doing them except practice.

[pSYKAOz]

i hate it when i flare and my can hits the wall lol... happens to me often cuz i like massive flares and i just use germ outties cuz i also like to save on paint hehe

[Lotus]

Try to stick a pen in the stock caps to make it fatter pen or pin. thanx

[ESNED]

or when u do a tag on soemthing real low and u hit the ground and it fucks it all up i dont do this now i learnt to write with the can side ways when im low lol. or like nuts or ledges on a wall u dont notice at first and it fucks up ur hole thing after u hit it

[135]

just practicing my flares on a board like 10 mins ago....krylon with a NY thin works excellent.....

[dluxd0cs1k]

whoever you are ur fucking stupid cuz yaw flaring is easy but to get it to come clean with no drips and have a hella sick flare takes time and practice so you should be riting and practicing a bunch... ;)

[lowlife]

i know there has been no repiles for this in a minute but the q shouldn't have been asked i think

[ballo¢ks]

GOOD LUCK DOING FLARES WITH A STOCK CAP [THE ONE THAT COMES ON THE CAN WHEN YOU BUY IT] YOU NEED SOME OTHER CAP GERMAN FAT OR THIN RUSTO NY FAT OR THIN OR WHATEVER.
OOOPS CAPSLOCK

[mr. she77]

oops capslock is right

[-> DUMB ONE <-]

i hate capslocks

[ESNED]

"GERMAN FAT OR THIN RUSTO NY FAT OR THIN OR WHATEVER"

this makes no (caps on) SENSE (caps off) you are so (caps on) DENSE.

[silkk]

the best cap for tags are german outline #2 iv used almost every cap and there definatly the best for tags

[mr. she77]

i tag with a paintbrush and bucketpaint, its hard to get flares..

[Skippy]

yea the outlines 2 is good..i like those for everything except filling it.

[xianx]

dammit i wanan get my hands on all these different caps, the only store i know that sells caps only sells rusto fats, ny thins, ny fats, and german fats...

naw man german outlines are sick for fades. but for flares I would say ny-fats or jumbo fats are the sickest for flarin. http://photos.fotango.com/p/eba00462360f00000013.jpg

[ASEK H2S Krew]

you use tha ny fats and if u write your tag quick it will flare out by it self but u should still try pulling tha can away fast. that shit looks insane in the membrane.

[MASH ONE]

YOU COULD DO A FLARE WITH ANY THYPE OF CAP IF YOU GOT SKILLZ.I USED REGULAR CAPS FROM WAL-MART CANS AND STILL GET A DOPE ASS FLARE.ALL YOU NEED IS SKILLZ.WITH THAT YOU COULD DO ANYTHING.

INSANE IN THE BRAIN&#33;

[-save]

idk..practice...and when you flair move the can farther away from the wall to get a difference in size and opacity

[SpLiTbomber]

flares are sweet, i use fatcaps for em cuz they look shitty wit a thin

[Mse]

pink dots are the best thing for flares
gold lvl 5 aswell
silver fats are good aswell
:)
but silver fats clog and break after 3/4 uses
golds are mad expensive
and pink dots are the shit

[seatwo]

^^^yea pink dots for sure, on a montana platinum

[calculating infinity]

do pink dots work well on rusto? i ordered a few a couple days ago and before i restock on paint i wana know if its better on krylon or rusto.

[OveRDoSeD]

isnt rusto high pressure??? so the cap my bust or w/e the pink part might fly off... i dunno never used a pink dot only German outlines and NY Fats... :&#39;(

[BRAINE]

i use pink dots with rusto all the time.

[settybomb]

Get some cardboard or a peice of wood and just take a can regardless of the cap and just see if you can do it with straight horizontal lines. Flaring with a fatter sized cap is cool, but some peples just dont give a fuck where you flare. Try concentrating it in one area of your tag, such as the bottem of your letters like a invisible line you flared at for each one to make it nice and consistant.

Caps will not make you any better. They may make things easier but its all in the wrist man. Practice, practice practice.

Personally, i learned to flair because one of my boys gave me a hands on type deal at this chill spot. Flairs look fucking sick in chrom rusto witha rusto fat on them.
I also just remember to overexagerrate the motions of my wrist when i flair.

Just fucking practice man. Enough of my rambling.

[settybomb]

** FUCK MY B ON THE DOUBLE POST GUYS.
I apologize on behalf of my schools crappy computers and me being impatient.
Sorry.

[noise not music]

i got a question on how to do another effect with paint, and didnt want to make a new thread,but how do you do this kind of shit? like is there a certain cap,or something you have to do to the can, or what?

thanks if anyone knows

[seno2]

i heard u can refill a or somthing mod a really old Fire Extinguisher and put paint in to spray very high .. well there are some huuuge tags like that with the splatter look and i hear they use the Fire Extinguisher .. so yeah all i no.. if im wrong then i guess i am .. haha

payce

[AoAssis]

thats not a fire extinguiser tag, fire extinguiser tags are so much nicer and cleaner, search fire extinguser and u will see a vid with a guy usin one, the effect rite there is done by a super soaker, just fill up a super soaker with thinner out paint, like REALLY thinned out, the consitancy of water and there u go, im pretty sure thats how its done

[noise not music]

aight,thanks a lot.

if anyone else has any clues how to do this,post em up

[recneps]

to get splatter marks like that take a cap and a x-acto and whttle out the tip a little keep whitteling unitl you get the desired effect, or i think you can use like a WD-40 can.

[recneps]

those splatter marks arew way to high to be done with a can, im guessing its a supersoaker tag.

[settybomb]

when my paint gets to cold sometimes it does that. Not to that degree of course, but none the less it gets all splattery and queefy.

[Jre]

about something earlier in this thread about caps and cans, would a pink dot be more fat on a montana/belton can rather than a rusto/krylon?

[NiHiL]

the best flare caps are ny fat, or a chisle cap&#33;&#33;&#33; :D
its all about pracise&#33;

[iusenibsonmyspraycans]

you can do flares with most caps, i think ny fats are the cleanest. the farther you pull the can from the wall the more fatness you get. its hard to explain you just gotta feel it.

[RepUrSet]

i get decent enough flares with the defaults on krylon cans :ph34r:

[Brian Peppers]

Alright, fuck you&#39;re NY fats and shit. I found THE best cap for flares. I stole it off a stainless steal cleaner can. With out even trying you can flare, its a horrible cap for anything else becuase it always spray&#39;s out like a ball. I will try and write down the band of stainless steal cleaner so if you&#39;re interested you can go out to the store and just steal the cap.

not on stocks.. they&#39;ll flair alright, not very big, will drip and just be horrible...


Ny fat on krylon ultra flat.. its the flare master.

No, as long as the can you&#39;re using is compatible with the pink dot, it should spray the same. Rusto works great with a pink dot.

alien skinnys and soft fats work good for flares you just need to get the hang of it first. ;)

[meRlin68]

can u buy fat caps at walmart or will the stock caps (the 1s that come w/ the cans) work good for flaring and filling?

[dcite]

no. you can not buy fat caps at walmart. at least in new york. just order some, even look on ebay or something. not too hard man.
stock caps dont work too good for anything...

just go out and try it for yourself, dont rely on the forums to guide you all the way.

well will stock caps work at all for filling? cuz i dont gotta cred card so i cant buy online, but mayb i can buy sum caps in dc, ne stores sell em?

[MoLD]

go to the bs stor
get the money order form
print it out
fill it out
go to your post office
and ask em for a money order
it costs like 95 cents for a money order from 1 to 100 dollars so bring extra &#036;
wait for a week or 2

[BEST]

level 5 and german outline been easy for me to do flares with a montana. rustoleum cans work best with a rusto fat and a ny fat..

Different cans get different sprays with different caps. Like rusto gets nice lines with a rusto fat, but krylon will get almost hollow lines with one.

Sometimes pink dots are sex on a rusto, sometimes they piss all over your hand more than ever. I&#39;ve had both happen to me with the same colour of rusto, don&#39;t know why but it did.

[omek1]

Which cap is best for flares? (could be more then one answer)
Orange Dot, Pink Dot, NY fat, Silver Fat cap, Montana Level4(silver), Montana Level 5(gold)

I found pink dot is just too heavy for flares

german outline is nice too but its for small tag flares

[InsaneSanity]

NY FAT. BEST TO GO NY STYLE,

RUSTO, NY FAT, NYC PINK OOH YEAH&#33;.

[paint fumes have rotted my brain]

thats crazy shit, id love to get one of those lawn sprayer things, do they clog up after the first few tags? how long do you have to pump?

[303.RusteroneR.303]

R u kidding me... if you are at all serious about graffiti, and bothering with flares then you should be well aware that the ONLY paint you should be buying from walmart is rusto or krylon... and you should ONLY use rusto with RUSTO tips, and after youve brought down the pressure.... sure other tips will work on rusto, but why would you bother.. its easier just to do it right , then be covered in paint..
to get the sickest flares you neeed to pressurize the can&#33; take half the air out of the can, so when you spray the can you are spraying the paint... not the pressurized air.. you can flare with stock tips.... BUT. any one who knows anything about handstyles will know it was done with 98cent wallmart paint, and a stock tip... to most writers this is a clear warning of a toy.
