  1. damn, if you ride on a car with no oil in it for too long you can crater the engine block and be forced to replace the entire thing. i had a friend that but holes in 2 blocks in one year. its expensive so hope its not that but if thats the case it usually wont drive at all after the car finally shuts down the first time. if it does it just goes really slow from what i remember. before you go buying stuff you should see a mechanic because you dont want to invest in something to find out you never needed to and you wasted the funds.
  2. maybe. i have no idea. i feel uncomfortable questioning what your saying cause youve been in this some years more than me obviously but ive always been under the impression that soft' and the soft varietys were shaped like german fat caps but the pressure is much softer and thats where they get their name. like a german grey compared to a ny fat as far as pressure goes for example. its just that i dont know that as fact and i could be way off so thats why i question myself as well in this situation. i dont know what the differences are between the soft caps though, i assume the width of the spray. like ive seen some caps advertised that hit 5 inches wide. thats insane to me, and unless i was rocking a whole car i dont think id be able to use them in a way that would take advantage of them although i could see how that would be extremely handy for street work as far as fills go. as well i wouldnt want to use them unless they can rock work in one coat because it would feel like a waste of paint doing 2 or 3 coats with a cap that lethal.
  3. when your fading colors together make sure you use the overspray feature as well. pay attention to where the overspray is falling on the color your fading into and use it to your advantage. try turning your can upside down and release the pressure until you can actually hear the change before you try to outline. experiment with different speeds at different distances on scrap whatever and see whats most comfortable to you.
  4. damn. how old are you? that was a bad move man but if your a minor it may be on your side.
  5. yeah i definately agree. its just that i was going to get some montana and i was under the impression rustos and ny's dont work with euro paint. ive decided that im just going to stick with the german thins as far as the montana is concerned because i know how to use them and i dont really have to worry about overspray. but im still really curious about this rainbow variety of caps these days. it got me wondering if people will stop in the middle of the piece and throw on a new cap for shading or fading instead of the one they have, i dont know the thought seemed silly to me. i was definately overwhelmed when i saw the options and it started to make sense as to why ive seen the yard littered with cap posts in the past until it was cleaned up.
  6. i realise theres a possiblity of this getting closed but i searched and found nothing like this so maybe if this stayed open it would save countless threads being opened like in the past. okay. im about to put in a order from a company that carries a fair number of caps. my problem is i dont know much about european caps whatsoever. i dug through threads for 2 hours care of the search option to no avail. basically im hoping that this thread can be an area where we can talk about caps that we have never heard of. if i had them id take them out and use them to find out what the differences are but i dont have the money to order all of them to experiment with. so here we go. of course we all know what ny thins/fats and rusto fats are. i know what german greys (thins) are but in the past i used the first ones on the market. whats the difference between the first made and the second (skinny bananna)? anything? from what ive found digging around on websites is that they are the same except the second ones work on walmart paint. transversal-calligraphy based work, any difference between this and fantip? it looks the same to me orange dot-quiet fill cap, 4-5 fingers in width blue dot-4-5 fingers, good for fades and less overspray gold dot-1/2 finger in width, details (characters, highlights) grey dot-1/2 finger in width, details and fades/shading black dot-harder stream than german thin, outlines with certain paint black hood-1 finger in width, outlines details (all black?) nosle skinny-fine work, hard line (these remind me of mixing caps) so here are some questions then (width? overspray? etc).. bananna white dot? bananna yellow dot? fat silver cap? fat pink? (ive used this but it wasnt on the right paint and clogged immediately, i only had 1) soft? super soft? white hood(all white or what)?
  7. for christmas you should ask her to buy you montana. it seems like it would be a good investment, yall could split the profits so even if yall seperate youd still me making money. and sell her the idea by telling her that its a large investment, but she'll make so much more in the long run than she invests. .
  8. damn this is sad. cory and topanga just had their first fight. can you believe he thinks topanga is better than him. pssshh.
  9. train hopping used to be a more common topic on here years ago but it hasnt been for a minute. definately look around the internet and 12oz is good to learn yard safety but id be quicker to look in circles of krusty kids on streetcorners for knowledge as apposed to the 12. most major cities have em'. where are you at? hit me with a pm and if i know people in that city ill see if i can throw you down with someone or reccomend somewhere to go.
  10. im lovin that damn tre good post
  11. damn. good luck with that. i had a bathtub full of bucketpaint once and it was there for a good month before i got around to cleaning it. i dont even remember what i had to use as far as chemicals go but it took hours on end for days to get it all up. bad situation you got there.
  12. painting. alchohol. writing. reading a play about child molestation for school. chinese food. documentarying. moving into my new house. looking for a job. checking this thread when i feel like i have nothing to do and am too drunk to remember whats on the list.
  13. ive got a friend that lives in dallas and one time he was telling me about a writer that used to do this exact thing in the 90s. he only got popped for it once and the worst thing that happened was that he went inside and asked the people that worked there for permission and they said yes after he explained the situation. hes supposed to be a real respected writer thats been holding it down for years too. *editnote*apparently he did this many many times and got away with it, but one has to take into account that at the time graff wasnt anywhere near as hot with police as it is now. as well i think the areas where he was doing this were supposed to be more art based neighborhoods where something like a mural would be expected without question.*editnote*
  14. yeah but today i was thinking about this very thing and no matter what it is that you are interested in it takes alot of study and practice before you can even do something worth being called an accomplishment. in alot of cases years. i dont know, ive been writing (nongraffiti related) since i was 15 and drawing since i was a kid and started studying graff shit in 97 and it gets boring you know? its like i need new interests to keep up my old addictions or something so i dont get burned out. so my recent idea was to start a new project involving graff but through a different medium which is video documentation. i have no idea where it will take me but i figure its the same reason alot of graff writers get real interested in photography other than documentation purposes, or canvases or whatever it may lead to. but the cool thing about being able to apply a new avenue to something you already know about is that it makes you that much better at whatever it is your new hobby may be.

    what do you do? i have some family that just got back and he worked on computers so i got the impression he didnt see the streets at all. so he came back with the idea that the war is a good thing and that the u.s.' involvement is really helping alot. do you feel that way? are you in the streets or behind a desk or what? whats the word in the service about bush starting to mess with iran? wheres it gonna go?
  17. yeah of course i know what sake is. i came up watching my mom drink that shit on the regular. but i do wonder, are you supposed to shoot it or sip it. the smaller glasses would say shoot it but is that only because were so used to shot glasses in the western culture? anybody got answers for me? *editnote* i agree with you though, thats a sick presentation. and murphy brown sucks. *editnote*
  18. thats a huge crabcake then, are you sure its not a sake shooter? cause you take shot of sake, right?
