    slow your roll man

    i wouldnt use paint just yet. You gotta put those training wheels on and start in the books. know where your coming from and when you get ideas goin on then you'll eventually get to use paint. and NEVER do anything to embarass yourself as a toy, if you lurk around this board you'lll see what not to do.

    and he was one of them cool ones, he came up to me askin if i had any extra change. i told him id have a look and i only had 4 dollars that i needed real quick, so i said i couldnt do that man. he just said well i only need 2 dollars, i said sorry i need that pretty quick. this guy was on me like a fly. so i just gave him the 2 dollars to shut him up and get him off my back. true story

    I understand where your coming from, but im trying to go out tagging just yet if at all. Most likely id do some peiceing just for fun for myself. And i suck ass at drawing. Along with doing sketching and some markers i also wana get used to how the different cans work and the different caps. Little of everything i guess to try my hand at it. Wats the best way to clean caps if im guna be using a whole set to see how they vary?

    Thanks

    1. How do you plan on piecing if you can't draw shit?
    2. There are countless vids on youtube that show reviews on cans and caps
    3. Hold the can upside down and spray until only aerosol comes out.

    1. I can draw but it takes a while to refine something im drawing,and not so much fun.
    2. Looking into that now. Thanks
    3. This i know but is there anything i should do after? I was thinking if i just tossed them in a jar of paint thinner between uses itd keep them clean but probably make a mess?

    question for those of you who bomb, whats the best way to carry cans and whats the most cans you'd carry on one night? is a bookbag too suspicious?

    dont put em in paint thinner, it will eat away the plastic. If you think one is clogged, you can flush it out with paint thinner, but if not, than just put em wherever and let em sit

    not everyone has the resources or the money to buy caps, so when theyre caps get clogged, they dont toss them. Its called recycling, you should try it.

    go recycle cans? lol cmon dude, seriously? I cant afford no 7 bucks for 100 caps when It costs 15 cents to make 100 of em. Im not gonna go around collecting cans either. If I need caps, I clean the clogged ones or stick to stocks.

    Graffiti now a days is filled with pampered pussies. *****s who buy caps and expensive paint even tho they suck dick. "I have to paint with ironlak and pink dots cause they make me look good".

    If you can afford the caps sema, good for you. and what im saying isnt hate directed towards you in particular so dont take this^ to heart, those who do that^ know who they are, and I aint know enough bout you to put you in that category yet.
