Guest Rip Hamilton Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Getting drunk does help!!! seriously, me and my boy were painting last winter, it had to be at least 10-20 below, windy as fuck, i was wasted and he was sober. turns out he ends up gettin frostbite on his paintin finger. The funny thing is i was totally underdressed for the occasion and he was sayin I was the one that was gonna get frostbite. I doubt it really matters but it was funny at the time. But yeah Schick1 summed up just about all the good tips for winter paintin. After even a few simple fills you'll feel 10 times more satisfied when you get home and know you made yourself go out in freezin temps to paint.

suicide7 Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 i would have to say the worst part about painting in the cold is when your not wearing gloves and the paint gets all over your hands and starts to freeze. it almost feels like your hands are burning off.

Keep your cans warm too. when it is below zero outside paint will freeze to your hands no matter what, even if the cans are warm. it might just take a few seconds longer to freeze.

2ten Posted December 8, 2003 Author Share Posted December 8, 2003 Originally posted by The Former Why the fuck would you move from California to Nebraska?

The funny thing is i was totally underdressed for the occasion and he was sayin I was the one that was gonna get frostbite. I doubt it really matters but it was funny at the time. There is some science behind this, but it's a bit tricky. Alcohol dilates (relaxes and slightly expands) the blood vessels. This lets more blood flow near the skin, so in the cold you feel warmer. The flipside is, your core body temperature will drop sooner because you're giving away all your body heat to the air (by letting it out at your skin). The opposite path is caffeine, which causes vasoconstriction (blood vessels contract slightly, getting smaller/narrower). This permits less blood near the body's surface, which can increase the risk of frostbite on the extremities (fingers, toes, nose, etc.). The flipside of that is that heat stays locked away in your body longer. Bottom line, if you're drunk and he's full of coffee, he'll get frostbite first, but if you guys get stranded outside in the cold for a long time, you'll die of hypothermia first.

angelofdeath Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 i think some of you guys are missing the point with the whole footprint in the snow thing, its not that "the cops will follow you..." its the fact if you are painting a layup or other type spot away from everything else, in the middle of no where, and say there is 3 trains, and you crush all 3 of them, have footpaths all around them, snow trampled down to where it is totally obvious the freshly painted peice was done there and you have the rainbow mist on the snow from either paint dripping or mist, it isnt the best thing for your spot. to me that is the same as leaving your cans in front of the panel. just my opinion though.

ader47 Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 taller shoes - if the snows very deep and your foot sinks in it, itll all melt around your ankle and get your socks completely soaked and freezing. then again i doubt we'll get any/much snow in england..

Guest rob deer Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 wear high heels to stay above the snow braziere to stick cans in girdle to also stick cans in bring lipstick for your original outline dump cocaine in the snow infront of your peice and have bums snort up all the snow so you dont' leave high heel prints don't wear a skirt, it's cold out. get an enema, shave your pubes and wear a wig so you're fuckable.

Aero45th Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 Didnt see it on here anywhere, but maybe im repeating it .. the high performance rustoleum dries quicker than the regular kind cause its got acetone in it instead of toelene, which is a big help cause waiting for paint to dry in the cold sucks. oh and marsh dries quick too (butane) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IRON HEAD Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 Depending on how active your spot is i wouldnt step on the snow cus it will leave your footsteps and since the snow it going to be on the fr8 it might melt and drip onto the floor... Workers wont even have to think twice if some one is painting there... So there goes your spot... Don't shit where you eat... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
