Slyle CMC Posted December 22, 2011 Author Share Posted December 22, 2011 Yeah if you search the thread I think I have gone over it. Copyright years on cans are not always correct, and it is not an exact science. General rules of thumbs is if it has old 1/2 digit zip codes on can it is before 1963. Same goes for warning on front. Bar Codes on cans usually dates them to late 70's or later. (They first started barcodes in 1974) Lots of cans do have 2 or 4 digit dates on them that help pin them down a lil, rusto for the most part always dates their cans.

Slyle CMC Posted December 23, 2011 Author Share Posted December 23, 2011 Thats is some really good user stock you found there. Osh is supposed to be real good, but I have not had any experience with it yet. (Its a west coast thing I guess) You might wanna save the scotti and some of the flat balls if that is your thing. You also have one of those "ribbed" champion cans. New can always found their design interesting, and you don't see them too often. That life spray enamel copper is probably the most interesting can to me. Never seen that one before. It is probably as old as the flat black scotti if not older. Also that pactra imperial. Too bad it is missing a top, but I do know a guy who collects those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAL Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 It's pretty hard to do with paper labels. You can wipe away a little bit of dirt and grime with a damp paper towel, but if you soak the paper, it will crinkle and look even worse. Wiping the paper with strong solvent is bad, because the printing ink seems to react very quickly. Metal lithographed cans are pretty resilient, and you can remove a good bit of grease and dried paint before damaging the print. Rusto is the hardest to clean, while Krylon removes pretty readily with acetone or xylene. Most silver wipes off as quickly as a layer of dust with acetone. Sometimes I'd rather keep the overspray and leave the can as i found it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slyle CMC Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 I wanna say on our Cap Matches Color Facebook page. He did it with an old red devil paper label. He also did an icy grape paper notch for me that came out real good. Repairs rips and what not too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAL Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 That sounds great. Glad someone is taking the time to learn how to be a conservator for spray cans. Way too many folks wasting their time restoring old paintings. Seriously though, I'd be curious about how he keeps the paper intact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
