    First of all, take a backpack (or whatever the kids call them these days) put a sweater down in it. Put paint in there verticaly so you kno the cans are going up and down. If you don't have too much paint. Put something between the cans. That stops them from clanky. Then another sweater/shirt/whatever on top.

    Another good trick when smuggling paint. Put each can in a sock. Yeah I know, this sounds dumb. But think about it, when two cans clink together.. they sound like beer bottles. Don't want that now do we? It draws attention.

    Stashing paint outdoors works fine until winter. Then it freezes... and is no longer any good.

    Remember, just silence the cans from moving around.

    Not if they dont agree with it

    My parents know i support graff n sketch (cause I sketch of everything i own...even though i suck at it badly)--

    but anyway I got mine laying out downstairs here next to my comp--i keep em ina spare backpack with some bath towel's sewed in--plus some i can stuff in around the cans--this silences the cans totally, you only hear the bag making noise while shaking it--

    Only keep your cans outside if you live deep down south (in the winter)-- anywhere north of TN isnt worth gettin your paint fucked up--

    If you're really desperate--get a tool box with a lock (one of those plastic step stool ones, can fit around 10+ can in there)

    Another one would be getting a spare computer case (one without a plastic window, onna those really old ones like that came with a Gateway comp when they had windows 95 installed default on it)-- and just put em in there in your room (if u gotta lot of stuff to cover it up w/)

    Just be creative--but if you dont have the guts to come out n admit you do graff, dont fuckin do graff in the first place

    Peace

    Man this shouldnt even be a problem for you--Least you dont have to stress carrying all that paint next to some pig stye or round a school where they bust up anyone lookin suspicious :blink:

    If all else fails n you gotta hide it outside (and its cold...nearing 32 F)--make sure you buy a shit load of those hand warmers, like 30, and throw them in the bag with the paint... Problem solved....less you forget about the bag :p

    Yeh man i can see why this would be a problem, i had the same trouble when i was just starting out. Serious kid i would tell your rents you bomb, just make sure they know you aint some little shit writing "FUCK YOU" on walls cuz thats "kool" :blink:. Graf is about expressing urself and believe it or not takes some skill, this is what rents and 5-0 don't seem to understand. Bite the bullet and tell em what's what... better than you gettin dragged home in a cop car at 3am right? if they bug about it then use the advice on the forum, if not your sorted.

    Even though my rents know i rite now, i still put my cans lying down in my bag so i dont rattle when im walking to a spot.
