Top gun Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Super-succesful digging today. Went to Paris suburbs to grab some cans via an internet advertisement site, i originally go there to pick the cans of the 4th picture, and the guy found me the Dupli-color box after 10 minutes of asking the same question, again and again: "You got other things in the basement?". I was already happy. On my way back i walked through the city, and found some dope old-school tags from Paris' finest bombers like Creez 156 or Sero MST. I had three hardware stores' adresses written on a piece of paper, but one was closed for years, and the two others were closed for lunch. I continued my visit of the city, bought a disposable cam, and shoot the 27 poses in 15 minutes! Dope tags... As i was walking i arrived in front of a store, which really look old, and which was one of my two spots. I immediately smelled the old-school shit in it! A guy who was fixing the outdoor lights told me that the man has old-school cans, and that he would be happy to sell them to me, cause he was closing his store soon. I waited for half an hour, and then the man arrived. We walk in, and he told me to follow him. We went in the backstore, and BOOM! I was shocked! Dozens of Krylons, name on label, dope colors(Hot Pink, Baby Blue, Yellows, Jade, etc.), he asked me which one i wanted, i said "ALL!!!". He told me he had more in the basement, so we went down, and BOOM again, another dozens of Krylons and Beltons... I had to call a cab in order to get me to the central station, stash was so heavy! Enjoy the pictures. Digging fever never stops! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UncleDonny Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Just cawped these vintage Krylons at an undisclosed local hardware store! Hard to find these motherfuckers, not to mention I got some ones from a couple years ago with the regular caps, just not as vintage as these!

varivaldi Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 So here's the story. Cleaned up a hill below a "historic" wall spot here today. (D., it's not the chairs spot as that's gone) Went with the intention of picking up scrap empties to take to be recycled, and to keep our water ways clean. I really thought I'd just find some newer cans but to my surprise, cans from the 90's were laying around too. This hill was no fun to traverse even with my painting pole/walking stick. The steep terrain and the full garbage bag I had to carry made for an interesting climb back up. Can anyone say 45 degree angle...? Anyway, these are what I found within about 15 minutes. I have about 1/4 of the area picked up. Will be going back to finish over the coming weeks. Incidentally, the other day I took 3 garbage cans full of shakers and 2 garbage bags full of empty gallons, quarts and pints with lids to a scrap facility and took home $8.20 in return. I had to drill out all the shakers and while doing one of the last ones, I think my drill sparked because the next thing I knew I was engulfed in a fireball. No major damage, just some burnt arm hair, but I did set a garbage can full of empties on fire at the same time and upon trying to flip the g. can over to smother the fire, about 10 cans got away from me and were rolling all over my street pretending to be flame throwers. it was some experience. Lesson learned though it won't deter me from drilling from now on to recycle. Join me in being a good guy to the environment while making a little $$$ back. Or come and paint my permission wall with me and bring your empties and I'll do it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jib25 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Thanks for cleaning up Valdi, it bugs me just the same. I cleaned up below a HOF in the UK back in my hometown also on a crazy slope. Downed the cans and started cleaning after some kids showed up and just hurled the can into the trees. 'The Dell' - Always good fun trying to negotiate the hill on the way to the top!

varivaldi Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 ewwwww rust killed em... valdi what you gonna do with them?? I'm taking them to a metal scrap facility to be recycled. Thankfully there is one 5 minutes away so once a month or so I will take empties there and get some money back in return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varivaldi Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 metals $240 a TON.... your not getting shit for a few cans... Ehhhhh, wrong. Unseparated metal gets you very little money. When you separate according to type of metal the money is right. I should point out it's not about the money, it's about being responsible with trash. Yeah, so it took 3 garbage cans and 2 garbage bags full of empties to get $8.00. But since I did it for good 'ol mother nature, the money is incidental. Sort of like your ebay listings, you know, how there's no mention of contents or condition. Thanks for your thoughts, though I had to correct them as to not deter others from doing the responsible thing if they so choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varivaldi Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 That plasticote Avocado is the only Avo I've found. Oddly enough it was at a major (well known) closeout spot and the can had no gas in it. They try to sell cans with broken stems in the valves and cans that just plain don't work. Was happy with the find though. And that Imperial Green Utilac I just received thx to drunknucleus. Nice can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nocomply Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 valdi, can you explain the process for emptying cans and taking them to be scrapped? today i found cans i tossed in the woods next to a spot 8 yrs ago, then i saw your post and it made me think.
