Juca 33 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 do you guys clean non paper labeled cans before displaying them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HAL 49 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Slyle CMC 25 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HAL 49 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Slyle CMC 25 Posted January 9, 2012 Author Share Posted January 9, 2012 Nice did the left side get chopped off? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
infamousscribbler 38 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Unfortunately, yeah. It looks like somebody took a utility knife to the side of it. Other than that and a few little spots where the paint is scratched, it's in surprisingly good condition. And you can't really complain when you only payed a buck for it.
