    if you dont know that i dont think you are ready to paint trains honestly
    most people dont start painting trains until they have actually been seriosuly in the game for over 2 years and have a really good idea of what they are doing. im not saying you dont btu its jsut a heads up.

    If you have to ask about things like this, you shouldn't be painting trains.

    Yes, go to a website and do some e-graffiti, then you'll be ready to paint freights.



    Those who know, know that that sentence was said with the purest of sarcasm possible.
    There are a couple of threads about painting trains, look at them, research and study. If not, there are a large number of things that may happen to you or your piece.

    i always chilled aroudn the tracks b4 i painted and i never was harassed or seen... i never painted a train because i dont see the point... like i dont want to bring a camera with me while im painting and once im dun i might want to fix it up a little if there are any drips... but i doubt id ever see it again so i see no point in it...

    it maty be worth it considering it travels around canadaor us or we
    but getting caught in a yard is some bad shit
    some guys in my city got cuaght in a yard in the day jsut taking pictures
    and they had to do huge reports on yard safety
    and present them to the police
    not fun

    not all types of trains drip! there was this certain one i hit and it driped like crazy. and there are some points to painting trains, one main point is that they travel!! and more people see them.
    and freight yards have mad security! we tried walking into one a wile ago and there were speakers that sid "we see you" then we froze "get off the tracks" so we booked and went in a safer way. once your in the yard i suggest your quite because there are people walking around marking freights and shit. and they have these truck thing that rool around, like the community patrol of the yard!
    thats just from my experience.
