Top gun Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Whats wrong with the history of US graff? Anyhow, Topgun. You got a nice little collection going on there. Nothing wrong. Maybe he collect Krylons and Rustos cause they are the most popular cans that you see in Style Wars or Spraycan Art... I have a lot of Sparvars/Spraycolors, i've posted them some pages back...But they are not on my shelves. I would really like to make a big wall with all my cans side to side, but it will takes something like 30 feet tall and 60 feet wide... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So its all cans top to bottom end to end, 4 walls filled would be cool in a empty room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coffie crave 7 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 wow the last 2 pages where pretty intense collecting spray paint (even tho i pretty much fell off of interest) is a lot different today than it was 10 years ago. theirs hardly any ''ma and pop'' shops around anymore and with the ''popular'' interest in old paint, hunting for cans is pretty slim to none, a lot of die heart collectors use the internet and online auctions to seek out missing additions to there prized collection i don't see anything wrong with that? i don't care if you live on mars... people over seas should be trading and selling with people in America each side can get things they cant normally get unless the travel well over seas. i can easily picture myself trading dubbles for some old euro paint. This sorta reminds me of ''art glass'' before you could go to tag sales or estate sales and get something cheap that someone might not know much about, but today that is also very slim to none with tv shows like antique road show EVERY one thinks there old junk is worth a fortune. and leaves collectors also going to action houses ect to look for finds...and with the internet it only makes collecting more easier with being able to meet other collectors and online auction sites / stores. cant blame it on the collectors its just the times and technology. I remember reading an old story of a man going to houses and knocking on doors and asking people if they had any glass shades they might wanna get rid of and he got luckly alot of old houses with furnishings where left with 1900 gold mines and to the new house owners it was just ugly old junk. this idea lead me to go around and also knock on doors and ask ppl for old paint in there basement or garage and got alot of cool finds! and always free, that was cute back when i was a teenager but today in my late 20's that shit wouldn't fly high. i always have art dealers come over if im selling or buying a piece of glass and they are always like WTF is up with the old spray paint, they have no idea theirs a market for it. give it 5 more years and you will find very rare cans at high end auction houses im calling it now.

Slyle CMC Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 The wet paint purple is not an easy one to find.

EPMDfan Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 give it 5 more years and you will find very rare cans at high end auction houses im calling it now. Cans were featured in the Guernsey's auction 11yrs ago but I will agree that cans and other "tools" will be making their ways into auctions in the future but it won't take 5yrs. I know for a FACT there will be some in at least one big auction next year possibly 2. ;) The wet paint purple is not an easy one to find. That is also the only one I have been looking for too...Wet looks are rare all around to find in just about any color. The Purple Wet Paint is a super hard one for sure. I got mine early on because I traded a couple other colors to Danny Boy from House of Pain for it back in like 2002 and I've never had the chance to get another one so I'm glad i got that one or I'd be looking for it too but thankfully I have the whole set. I'd say the Yellow is the second hardest color in the set. And while we are on the subject how about these... Those are fresh!!!! I have never seen those before... I have some of the Wet Paint bucket ones but never seen the Wet Looks. Nice one Dave... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slyle CMC Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 Funny is I never really look for qts and shit at my spot, but one day they were just sitting right on top. I make a point to at least take a quick look for interesting buckets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickcook Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 see now that is why i collect us brands rather than uk a set of wet paints or wet looks is a thing of beauty ,just look at those colours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EPMDfan Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 I have cans from europe and japan... I don't think it's a big deal on where the cans come from if you collect the cans you do. If Nick wants US cans more power to him. Lets face it we are collecting krylon grenade cans, 63 krylons, big face red devils, big face rustos... we never used any of those, we never were going to the stores and racking those, those were pre graffiti cans so in reality that is the same thing Nick is doing. He likes US cans and is more then likely paying homage to graffiti's origin which is no different then someone in Europe buying a canvas from Seen, Quik, Jon One, Lee and so on...

Slyle CMC Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 I would like to get my hands on some of those old french krylon cans or other countries older krylon cans. Here is your wet look purple nick.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
