IRON HEAD Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Would it be heat to the spot? I was wondering if it would be a heat to the spot if you put tape over the limit #'s and leave the tape on with a corner peeled off so the workers can take it off. Reason why i ask if it's a heat to the spot is because they might know some one is painting there if the tape is slightly peeled off in a corner. It's nice for the flik too... even though i also like flix with the number's showing... anyhow thanx in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cracked Ass Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Just paint around the numbers. You can paint real close to the numbers, so that from a distance you barely notice anything's missing from the piece. Why would you leave the tape on with a corner upturned when you could... ...peel off the tape? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lepthebeard Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 ...whatever...I always tape the numbers...don't give them a reason for stamping yer shit...just caught a great black HS that I did a while back that got destroyed, all because i went over the numbers...i will even tape an old school moniker...pitty the fool that goes over a herby or a joe...when you don't have tape why not take move over a bit and take part of the door and not the numbers...karma to the yard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
war pigs Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 i guess i try to go around the numbers as much as possible but sometimes it's unavoidable..like when there's some toy scribble over them already taking up a perfectly good panel... i think the shit's gonna end up getting stamped no matter what..it's just the luck of it..same with the black box..i know you're not supposed to paint it but i caught a couple pieces still intact from 96 -97 recently going over the box... but yeah..i think if they realize it's fresh paint..and tape over the numbers that might bring some heat to the spot...peel it off after you catch your flicks and don't sweat it...

Average White Railfan Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 Originally posted by JonCoaltrain Just go over the numbers. They're going to stamp it anyway. basically! ive seen people do painstaking work to paint around the numbers and they still got stomped. so if you cant paint between the #'s and the door, just clip them shits and get your fliks.

fr8rokr Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 . why dont you flick it then take off the tape? why wait for a worker to do it? seems simple enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some workers might and probablly hate graffiti all around and this will just make them choked knowing that painting is going on in their yard.

Pier Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Isnt it the people who load the trains who have to look at the little numbers? I'm sure worker or train worker wouldnt really give 2 fucks about the whole situation. I only try and stay away from 2 different train numbers, csx and rbox, they fuck you up real good.

und busboy Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Originally posted by D-man132AVE I WOULD JUST PAINT ROUND THE NUMBERS...ITS ONLY LOGIKAL...:king: I WANNA BE UP FOREVER... It is only logical. It doesnt take much skill to paint around the numbers, if you cant then you shouldnt be painting trains. By painting around the numbers you dont have to pack tape into the year either and create the risk of forgeting to take the tape off or leaving it lying around for workers to find.
