Cap Help

Well im getting confused by the caps which i need to get my head around before i go out trying throwups. Ive looked on the net,and what i found is "grey dot is the skinniest,pink dot is the fattest". Does that apply to all brands? Also does the shape or colour of the cap itself determine anything or just the colour of the doughnut where the paint comes out of?

**Phat 2** · 04-03-2011 09:45 AM

i reckon the maclaim cap is the skinniest cap around and the level 5 gold cap is the fattest... but when it comes to throws, you wont be needing any skinny caps. those are more for piecing, especially when you're intrested in fine detailed work.
and no the shape or color of caps dont determine anything. I could lay out all kinds of caps in front of you and you wouldn't be able to know which is which, except for the calligraphy cap coz its nozzle looks like a line, but you're gona have to try your caps out to find out which is which if this is your first few times, then you'll just get used to em and automatically know that pink and orange dots are fat caps for example.
trial and error is always the best way to go.

it would help also if you can get your hands on Eaz1's dvd "the future of graffiti". there's a section only about the different caps and how to use them and stuff, that movie's very informative and helpful. highly recommended.

hope this helped

I assumed I was going to be fine with the answer I gave, not knowing there was paint on me. I suppose i could have after the fact, but due to my record, I most likely would have had to have proof

Was doing random throws With my friend before collage. He gave me a burner chrome the fat ass can and I did my outline then when I started to fill I ended up wearing half the can it misted all over my hands and had specs on my face Hahah oh and my black looked like water and was patchy I shaked it like fuck, maybe it couldn't cover the chrome.

**ian** · 04-05-2011 08:32 AM

why did you do the outline before the fill if you were doing throws?

**pointman** · 04-05-2011 08:54 AM

You know like my first outline in the fill colour, so it looked like a hollow then the dusty fill with the fat. Need to get those sharp edges with the fat i found it hard and didn't want to go too close for it to drip everywhere.

**ian** · 04-05-2011 11:25 AM

ooooh i thought you meant you did the actual outline in black then tried to fill it with silver lol nvm

Its all about angles, when you get real close with the can you got to make sure the the cap's hole isnt facing the wall parallel, if you make it so it sprays at an angle you get hit the corners without going beyond the area your wanting to fill, ya digg?

And yeah unless you got that coversall burner black you definetly aint gonna cover the chrome unless you wait until it is completely dry

whats a good bucket paint?

**Cl4sh** · 04-05-2011 08:50 PM

I mean, why don't people paint on them. They travel all around the country and are probably even seen more than trains.

**pointman** · 04-06-2011 07:40 AM

Well my guess is they usually protect expensive cargo and no doubt they are armed in those huge trucks i would rather not get blasted for trying to paint a truck haha
