Tips for rollers.

What do you guys mix with bucket paint to make more? Water, paint thinner? Anything else related to rollers can be posted here.

[Mange]

I dont mix anything with bucket paint, but if I had to I guess I would use paint thinner.

[fromthegrave]

piss in it

[PRIMEape]

im guessing that most people that do rollers have a car. imagine luggin that shit every where you wanna hit up haha. no lie rollers are bad ass

[Queezy]

For 1 roller you could carry 2 gallons of buket paint and a roller in a backpack.

[reser]

rollers are the shit

[pasegrwasc]

piss in it

Saw it coming.

Any big roller cats here? tips? techniques?

[returned]

get american accents or w.e. the cheap shit is at home depot and mix in acrylic for color since its water based...

[thedudeman]

anybody kno how to do the cracks in rollers?? jus press super lightly with the roller to get thin lines i guess..

[MARTYRaz]

im thinkin u roll ur basic letters out first then come back with cans...never done a roller but this how i would do it..anxious to see where this thread goes..rollers r dope..

[fromthegrave]

u dont need cans for a roller. cracks and small outlines can be done just be smart about it. for a straight thin line use the side of the roller or the edge of the side. just thing of it as a big paint brush. and most of the time the roller isnt gonna come out as clean as a piece if its up high so do that best u can.

[Ask_The_Boss]

^^ Bump. And over at trackside, we'd bring one 10 gal. bucket filled with house paint and an extendable roller to reach those high tops. Maybe an extra roller replacement

[Regius]

when yur doin a roller , it isnt any different than formin a simp, right?

bars...fill..outline..shadow?

Personal preference but I don't see why you'd do it any other way.

yea too bad they dont make 10 gal buckets of paint..shit would weigh bout 90lbs...

[fromthegrave]

he fills the bucket with paint.. thats a lot of pain tho. think he means 5 gallon. and a ten gallon bucket would be hella heavy and not realistic to carry if they even make em.

[Dek2]

Do you have to measure them them if they get big as fuck?? Like MTA's?


UNOIT<---

[fromthegrave]

what?

[EST2007]

measure if u want, but it woud probably be easiest and more time efficent if you use things as reference, such as seams in the wall or by brick count, or by using the roller width ect...

[Ithaca]

Do you folks atually pay for rusto or do you get the cheapest shit you can find?

[Sizzuurp]

the best place to get a shitload of free paint is from your town. in my town at the end of the month they have this paint can disposal shit goin on and you can go and take as much as you want. its not cans but like buckets of the most randomly colored paint. look it up most towns do this

[fromthegrave]

mta's roller was beastly

[Imanundercovercop]

things like this on the internet make me wanna cry. why cant you just go out and do rollers to get better and figure out how to do them instead of asking strangers on the internet. what's happened to graffiti????????????

[cesspool]

truth truth truth...
its not like its rocket science either...

[West Dmk]

most rolllers are done with latex paint which cant be thinned down with paint thinner and ive never heard of anyone using water to make more paint... so yea if ur doing a roller with rusto bucket paint get paint thinner
if ur using latex paint (buy a cheap one from a dicount store) then just use it as is because its cheap...

[neb3636]

^^^^^^^^^^^ There is alot of false information in that post. First of all latex paint washes off with water so why would you use that outside dumbass. Also you can thin latex with water or piss if your toomer. Lastly you really think MTA bought 400 gallons of paint?! i mean come on

[goonzatwork]

i got like 20 buckets of valspar just painted the inside of the house bought some extras to fucks with rollers.
some rollers are done with straight bucket paint, and well...of course, a roller, some with 3d/outlines/cracks using a few cans. you can be pretty creative with rollers and they arent TOO difficuilt to fuck up and if you take some time and a tiny bit of effort you can come out with some nice looking work

some examples of somerollers.

too crazy.

[neb3636]

^^^^^^^^^ Sabers WAS "too hot". It's buffed now

[eyeneversleep]

some cats in here dumb as fuck...who ever said latex paint will wash off is dumb, thats what alot of people paint houses with. Also latex paint is water based and can be thinned down with water...

[springbreak95]

the mta roller is still up i drove to hollywood and saw it from the highway unless it got buffed real recently i saw it wednesday and it was to fucking big to make sense

[thedudeman]

hey have you guys ever heard of this one crew i think its called MTA they did this pretty big roller in the LA river you guys should go check it out its dope.. i dont think anybodys ever seen it or heard of it but its huge..

[DoMakeSayThink]

hahahaha

[Queezy]

Yeah there gonna be buffing the mta really soon. Such a shame. Seeing it in person is fucking rediculous.

[Regius]

i heard its gonna cost a couple mil to buff it cause they dont want paint to get into the water or some shit like that..

[EGO31]

pwned^^^^^^
And that's why government and council beurocracie is foolish. If you roll it properly, no paint will go in the water system.

[lilbmxking]

nuff said

[Queezy]

Yeah it's honestly pretty easy, here is my first roller(I went back and did a black outline/3-d on it, but haven't flicked it. Once I get more bucket paint i'm so down to do another one.

[charles bronson]

what i thought was funny about the mta roller buff was this:

if your going to paint over it in a shade of white basically why didnt they just buff all the black out with white and it would have just been one big solid white block instead of going over the entire thing and wasting all that paint?! haha

[Queezy]

They needed to use "economical paint" rather than oil based paint. The government is fucked up bro, they cut funding in california schools but spent millions to buff the saber and mta roller when nobody in that are gives a shit about graffiti because the river is a shit hole anyways. So lame.

[LoraHup]

Downloading leaks = thumbs down awesome thread idea though

I have a stalker who is about 30 and admitted they liked me today very afraiiiiid and they know where I work, eeeeeeep.

Im 19 by the way but told her rather bluntly online how I felt, other than thatto life. Nile o so sooon.

[JayAyDubZed]

Toy question: The whole cracks in roller thing. Do some people like do huge lines as the cracks then just make it thinner with the fill color?

[rone]

ive never done one, but i would just use straight bucket paint. is there something wrong with that?

[jiveONE]

so does it matter whether or not you use exterior paint? Cause i used kilz interior for a roller bomb a month ago and its still there; no fade.

[Bazer]

MAYBE if you want it to last a million years but i used interior paint for a roller about a year ago. i went about two weeks ago and its still in really good condition. the paint faded in a few areas but i re touched it with some spray paint and covered up some toy that wrote his name in the k.

[zennegen]

i think the reason they call it interior paint is because there's no fumes that can harm you in the paint, whereas exterior paint might smell of have toxic fumes. just a guess.

[Stuck]

k somone set this shit straight cus i wana know what to get and wat not to get next time i hit up the stores....
i know i need two rollers, two paint holders and an extendable rroller stick
what i dont know is what kinda paint works best outdorrs, (last longest, no fade)
and also what to thin shit down with.... i think some paints cant be thined by certian stuff? etc
also if you watch the norm roller video he has a big white bucket full of white paint i think but he puts some shit on the roller before dippin shit into the paint? anyone know wha the deal with that is heres the link to the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_tvQNptmAM

[zennegen]

paint thinner?

[Stuck]

fuck it ill just go ask the retards at home depot for their advice on what paint to use outdoors....

[jiveONE]

lol aight...cause i wen to sherwin williams and asked for exterior paint and the dude there was a friggin paint expert...it kinda threw me off. I'll do my homework on cheap paints. thanks! :]

[EST2007]

could be just water.. i've thinned roller paint with water and it was fine

interior vs exterior paint.... dude it dosnt really matter, it's gonna last a long time no matter what. one thing to be mindful of is the weather when you lay the paint. if it's really cold out , eventually the paint will start to peel off the wall becasue it doesnt get a chance to "cure" correctly due to the cold.

[neb3636]

Use the edge of the roller

[coldaslife814]

tip while doing rollers wear shitty clothes for sure which is why i checked this thread
does anyone know of how to get roller paint of jeans and sweaters? If so pm me would
be much appreciated

[Vagrant]

go to sherwin williams and just ask them
roller paint is bucket paint, so its no different than the average house painter asking how to get paint off their clothes

[coldaslife814]

true for some reason i didnt think of that thanks man

[408Bomber]

Still hard to beleave they buffed saber's stuff.

[prefer]

rolers are fun but tyring as hell

[dickfartdollars]

yo lowes has this roller that is like 18 inchs wide and the cheapest way to get rolller is probaly to go to lowes or homedepot and go to the paint section where they mix the paint usualy behind that the have bucket paint that people asked them to make a certain color and they either never came back for it or just didnt like the color so i go t like each gallon for 5 dollars

[Sovran]

Roofing tar and liquid rubber, that'd be fun
