Slyle CMC Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 Yea for sure i like em too. Check this out, if this isnt a BITE and a half. Its even got the same metaltop as a 64 krylon. Where does it say this can is made??? Can you get a shot of the back??? And are you peeping CMC in your work truck, gotta love that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herbsyntec Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Does anyone know how oxalic acid interacts with cans? Does it mess up the paint, does it destroy the label, etc...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OG5BALL Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Where does it say this can is made??? Can you get a shot of the back??? And are you peeping CMC in your work truck, gotta love that... The can was made in San Leandro. About 30 minutes outside of San Francisco, at a company called Pacific Aerosol. Where it states the contents weight, it says... NET16 ozs - Volume 1LB - Fluid 15 Ounces. On the bottom of the can it says 68. That would probably be the reason this can has the same top as the 64 cans. It could also be that the original owner had a yellow 64 and swapped tops. Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OG5BALL Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 you can also take a blowdryer and heat up the lid, if your scared it might shatter when pulling it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally when I checked out your auction last week or 2 weeks ago I thought, ok, so here's the grading scale, cool. Definitely very informative but it's a lot to take in. When I see an auction with just the color name and a super short description I usually move on because if I'm buying, anything on ebay actually, and the description leaves me wondering about the quality or trustworthiness of the seller, I don't feel comfortable giving my money away and worrying about what I just bought.

jib25 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Half of today's find. .25 cents a piece. Then he made it all for a $1.00. Thank you indoor flea market. Other half of the find when I get the pic emailed to me since I only took a camera phone pic of it and I have no smart phone to send it to myself. Never laid eyes on the 3 paper labels to the left. All full unused. [/size] Varivaldi- Would you be up for trading that Channel Aluminum? Shoot me a PM of what you're looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAL Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 4 more cans on Ebay, using the CMC grading scale. how do you guys feel about people putting cans on Ebay with minimal information? I normally avoid buying paint on ebay, but if i do some browsing, I prefer as much information as possible, with more than just a pic of the front of the can.

Slyle CMC Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 I had an older writer scold me cause I left my labels on my cans. They would never do that cause people would see where they got colors from....sort of like DJ's blacking out the labels on vinyl....I personally like to keep the on, some of the price stickers have great graphics or are from stores that are long gone. When lables fall off I just reglue them on, though I have been known to be lazy and sometimes I just place them under the cap so I don't loose them.... Being that the cron is red I doubt the top is original....remeber the spot you dig anything can happen to used cans before they end up in your hands, "I found it that way" is not a good excuse for ignorance...

HAL Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I also prefer to leave the price stickers on, unless they go out for a trade to someone i don't know or trust. I think it gives the cans extra character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slyle CMC Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 It's ok to leave a price sticker on, just make sure you cleaned out the spot. I have heard of people driving hundreds of miles to clean out spots some kids were to lazy to.....same goes for cases with addresses on them....

imported_joewelcome Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Thanks man, those zynos are made in compton thats probably why. I usually put a short description to get to the point. (Not knocking your scale at all, just the way i like to do it) Maybe im just lazy who knows. No offense taken! I just wonder what buyers think, for ANY Ebay auction, when there aren't a lot of details given about the item. I have long found that the more info and care you give an item, the better you will do as a seller. Frankly, I got tired of people throwing around words like "mint" for seemingly no reason. If there's nothing to go on but personal opinions, then every can we find is gonna be "mint" because that sounds good. Valdi- I know, it is a lot to take in. It took a lot of effort to try and write a scale that's detailed enough to work. We tested it for several hours and tweaked it. It is pretty simple once you start applying it, I've found.

imported_joewelcome Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Weres the best place to buy old cans? eBay? Ebay's not that bad, but if I were you, I'd go pound the pavement, find every independent paint and hardware store in a 50 mile radius and check them out CAREFULLY and ask them. That's how many of us got started. Don't rack either-- those stores need your help just to stay alive these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varivaldi Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Yeah for sure, I'm all for it. Jus thave to adapt to it.
