    Rusto is fucking amazing. Especially for those heads out there that don't rack, best quality to price ratio of all paint.

    sometimes even that stuff doesnt un clog some caps

    especially clogged caps with bitumen paint are bitches.

    but you wont have to buy that many caps tho.
    you will have to buy the cleaner, or rack it

    just buy them in bulk nd u wont have to deal with this. altho i do save up clogged caps nd give them to less experienced writers nd say if u can clean them u can have them (kids love free shit lol)

    The "system" works the same with every can, also molotow, montana etc etc. At the beginning there might come out some paint, but after a few seconds, it stops and just the pressure will come out.

    my friend used to use paint thinner and some sort of lube, im not too sure but try experimenting with that see where it gets you.

    once youve finished with that colour face the cap into the air and then spray for about 3 seconds then itll just spray the compressed air cleaning the cap out of the paint, otherwise put it in a pot of thinners and leave for an hour or so and swirl every now and agian, take out wipe the thinners off and blow into the cap, if not have a feel about it a pin or something similar
