Slyle CMC Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 Looking good....the fat caps you talk about, were they called "German" fats but were the size sort of a normal NY fat. I remeber a cap we used to get with wide ridges and sort of a small color on it that had a pretty big spray. Think it was an orange center, I have not seen them in a while....

EPMDfan Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Agghhhh standard brands... They "sponsored" MANY a graffiti mission for us back in the late 80s and early 90s, lol when they went out of business the cans were $.50 a can and we went in and cleaned them out of their Krylons. We had cans from that for years!!! The good old days!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAL Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 juca that's a stock cap, just the specific color that Nybco used. it's not much different from any stock cap. most old subway writers from NY used stock caps as thin caps, and probably just got very close to the train with the can. the only real old-time thin caps (which is the same as an older NY thin) that i can think of are the Krylon Fixatif cap which are also known as "Fixies" in some places, and the Liquitex/Testors caps. I believe these to all look exactly the same and be equivalent to older NY thins. newer NY thins are not as clean or pencil-diameter as the older ones for some reason. Don't forget about niagara caps and Jifoam fats. Also the medium tips with the black face and wide ridges on old ScotchGard cans. I also believe you could find Rusto Fats back then, but not sure on what cans. They had plenty of caps to use, even back in the 70's. You just had to rack them all. I have a few of each classic cap and can take pics if anyone is interested. I beg to differ on the Ny Thin. It's definitely wider than the old ones with the indented face, but much cleaner. I hated those older ones, but if you're into it, the new grey german thins seem to have the same spray quality, and even have a strange indented dot unlike the older style. Too skinny for me. I actually shave down the stem on NYs with a razor to use them with imported brands. My favorite cap hands down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imported_joewelcome Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I was only talking about thins. Many people have noted that back then, it was about fat caps and using stocks for thin lines was the norm. I have an old ScotchGard that came with a Rusto orange center. I don't remember the old NY thins having an indent, they seem to look identical and the actuator face numbers never seemed to correlate to quality at all. I think we've discussed this one before also, but I miss how nicely the old NY's used to mate to Krylon and how it made the paint nice and clean for thin lines. The newer ones seem to flare out just enough that the dot is no longer solid. Surely this is a technique issue, but I think Juca was looking for a clean thin initially. The stock Nybco cap is fine but doesn't exceed any stock cap. Don't forget about niagara caps and Jifoam fats. Also the medium tips with the black face and wide ridges on old ScotchGard cans.

HAL Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I don't thin any american brand of paint comes with what we know as a thin cap. I'm guessing it's because of the propensity for it to clog, as opposed to a non-diffused "stock tip". (the paint doesn't have to flow through channels like with any cap that provides clean lines.) You don't remember back in the early to mid 90's when there was that run of NY Thins that had the strange bevel in the dot? Those were the only ones i remember that sprayed differently. They kinda shot paint out in a super thin, heavy line that was so easy to drip with krylon. Some people loved those caps, but i personally hated them. The thins you'd grab off Fixatif have always sprayed the same in my experience. About an inch wide, and super crisp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
