Can Control Problems

[Reger]

How do u know if it is a high or a low pressure can? I use ironlak..

[H1P30N3R]

ironlak is low pressure ironlak reload is high pressure

[spookza2]

perhaps the angle at which you are spraying is off and its drippy an shit

[Sicotik13]

how the can about 6" away and spray at like a medium speed, it might just be the type of paint

[Sinister151]

enough with the ppl with the cat videos like wtf

[ealkrab1er]

Remember to always try to use an outline cap

[ealkrab1er]

Or wait for the paint to dry so it doesn't drip

[nixon]

take a bit piece of cardboard or wood, and just go to town. find the right distance and speed to do a horizontal line without dripping and you should be set. also try mixing up tips. it doesnt even have to look like anything, just random lines. different colors flow differently, especially the hardware store stuff, so just try that shit out.

[Igor Radchenko]

just get a can and go find a deserted street and practice there! you can just do lines. try to figure out what distance/tip works best for you

[SneikT]

It's not always down to experience or practice either. It's also about how you feel and act. You need to be smooth and relaxed, not think about it so much but just do what feels natural and groovy. If nothing else helps, take a shot of whiskey or smoke half a joint to take the edge off. All in all, if you're stiff and nervous, you'll just end up messing around with something wack

[Brink ASN]

all practice, only way ull get better

[wjellybelly]

You also get drips if your can pressure is too high and hold the can too close to the wall. You can get less drips and hold the can closer if you get a low pressure can.

Lock your wrist and go with the flow.

ok, i searched and didnt find anything, so dont get mad at this question, here it goes, MY CAN CONTROL SUCKS, i know what your gonna say, practice practice pracitce, and i do, but it always fuckin drips, i try to spray fast and ive got no problems with the fill, but when i do the outline it drips like fuck, please help people, and dont close this pleasee thanks for any help you give

What kind of paint are you using and is it cold by you? the colder paint gets, the thinner it is...unfortunately..in the winter, all you can do is go real easy on what you're covering...if the paint is cold, and if the surface is cold, you'll probably def. drip.

if you're using a male valve can, you're fucked.

if you're using a female valve can..hold it upside down and let out pressure. there really isn't a specific ammount you need to let out, but what i suggest..is letting about 20 seconds of pressure out at a time, ad then shaking it a bit, and doing a line..you can tell as you get lower on pressure. when you get to a point where you feel comfortable with the consistency of the paint...remember about how much you let out and always do that.

keep in mind that you really don't want low pressure when you're doing your fill..and if its cold by you...as your can gets colder...after you let pressure out..the can will lower in pressure even more due to the temp.

if it's due to the temp. put your cans on the floor of your car as you're driving to a place, and blast the heat. If you're 12 years old and hiding graffiti supplies from your parents, wait till they're gone...fill up the bathtub with the hottest water the faucet can provide and throw your cans in there for an hour or so. If you're using significantly less paint than a bath tub..(which you probably are)..do the same thing in a bucket of hot water or the sink.

if none of the above pertains...you just have to make sure you're going fast enough. if your lines are dripping...you're going too slow for how much you're applying.
