stoopit Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 any suggestions on cleaning cans without ruining the labels both paper and metal???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slyle CMC Posted December 5, 2003 Author Share Posted December 5, 2003 Yes be very careful....Clean paper labels with a slightly DAMP paper towel. I have used chemicals on paper labels, but test on small spot first, and never overdue it. Metal cans usually can be cleaned with anything, but excessive wiping has been known to ruin a can. Its all trial and error, and can types. You learn the hard way, but none the less you learn... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paint junky Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 dip it like it's marble cake... verse, i told you i got oicture cans for ya'... send me the trader flix holmes... i am feeling the derustos... noice when it comes to cleaning cans there are all types of methods... like slyle said it is all trial and error. on metal cans: on older ones sometime the clearcoat that protects the printing on the can is worn away. you can see that can seems duller, the shiny coating is gone, these cans are really suceptable to being ruined by cleaning solvents, especially the black printing... proceed with caution... on old red devils, the color name is stamped on afterwards. one swipe w/ a cleaner will take the color name/ingredients right off the can... some caps back in the day were painted the can's color, these can be ruined with a cleaning as well... paper: these are tricky... be very careful, sometimes these are best left dirty, but there are some "secret" methods to fixing these up, use your imagination... there are some other tips and secrets but ya really gotta learn the hard way... we all have ruined nice oldies and learned...good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imported_joewelcome Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 Originally posted by Brandon I ran into a ton of Pittsburgh paint, safety green. And have been using it for the past few months, and I just looked at the date on the cans - 1987. I do have a question though. A while back someone gave me a can of Seymour MRO paint. the Pittsburgh, i'd guess was with regular male caps. they use a danvern/fan spray now. like most "big name" paints, their paint is quite good. not all that collectible but always fun to use. Seymour is indeed the inventor of aerosol paint. they are one of the few independent spray paint companies left and they focus on making paint for custom jobs, technical uses and very specific technical jobs. for instance, i've seen subway workers using their Spruce line of paint. anyhow, they do sell many different products and there are places that carry some of the Seymour line. start looking. or if it's that difficult, just call up the company. you need to find small independent store, esp. paint stores and industrial supply outfits. and expect to pay "real" prices for the paint, not home depot prices. MRO (Maintenance-Repair-Operations) General Use/Primer is made in 20oz spray cans. According to the company, it is made in: 5 safety colors (ROYGB) 3 ANSI grays cascade green [which is NOT like the rusto, it's a medium green] light blue deep blue tan dark green shiny aluminum ryder yellow new cat yellow omaha orange this is a smaller company so it's harder to tell what they make in aerosols and what they don't. but this stuff is out there, i'm going to check out one spot that carries it soon. i've used their Hi-Tech Magenta which was pretty good. happy hunting/never stop diggin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adderall Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 anyone have any input on methods they use to clean up their cans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slyle CMC Posted February 8, 2004 Author Share Posted February 8, 2004 Cleaning cans is all trial and error, I like to start with just warm watter on a paper towel and move up in strength of cleaners. Every can is different, and even the graphics on a can can be different. One part might not be harmed while another will, take your time, and start on t back if you have any doubts. Glowing Red Orange is a FLURO. unless its a pre borden black label can, I doubt their will be much of a demand for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paint junky Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 festival is a great color, i personaly pick it up from time to time to use, stashed one can of it away because eventually there will be no more, same thing goes with colors like terracotta (krylon), used 2 cans this weekend but they don't make that shit no more either, or indian spice AA's (great color)... so yeah, as of right now it doesn't hold a lot of weight in comparrison to regularly traded cans, but one day it will be, in the mean time pick it up to use, if u like it...

I must make one thing clear, most derusto up to the mid 80's all came in paper labels. I have yet to see a painted can. I am looking for the old style bubble letters first, I still need a few colors of the 70's style ones that have a basic yellow and red outlined box on the front, but am not interested in the newer early 80's style that has a small 3 color rainbow shooting to the top.
