lootool Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 I put tape over the entire car when I do wholecars... take a picture... take off the tape.. it's like no one knows I ever did it... this is a way that you can never get caught..or you could put a really big sticker on a car... I also paint right over the numbers and then put tape over the painted numbers and paint over the tape on the painted numbers.. then, when my shit gets stamped and the tape falls off of the car, it will have to be stamped again..

taper Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 i say if your spot is chill go for the tape. nothing sucks worse than a huge box taking up half of your first letter. if you dont have time to tape then dont its not that hard really it just all depends (for me at least) what im dealing with spot wise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robJ Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 If duct tape is on hand I'll use it. Sure, why not. otherwise just paint around them. .. It really silly to go over the nunbers if your going to be in it for awhile. Which reminds me on how alot of writers back in the day would rewrite the numbers above of there pieces thinking it wouldn't get the stamp either.. I'm just as guilty.

Cracked Ass Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Just saw a big new Pose2 freight, stamped to shit. It's odd, there's a handful of really dope writers who don't give a shit about the numbers, do nice work, and get stamped with the quickness. The ones who don't really care about freights and are just doing them because they were in the way I can understand, but some of these cats are longtime freight junkies. I don't get it. I guess it's their prerogative if they want to sabotage their own efforts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robJ Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 I think it has alot to do with there ignorant Egos "I'm write such & such, fuck the numbers, who cares" I have heard that line more then once from some pretty well known writers who arnt around today,, You know, those flash in the pan type.

rickjamesonrails Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 these "old freight junkies" take their flicks and leave the spot, they dont care about gettin their stuff stamped cause people still see that its a Kwest panel, for example.

Cracked Ass Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Yeah, sometimes I forget that some cats find the flick to be more important than the ups themselves. I was never like that, I like my shit to run as long as I can arrange for, and I probably have only half of my shit flicked. To each his own I guess. Although if you're going over numbers at my spot, we're going to have a talk sooner or later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASER1NE Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Ironically for me its both, i like to tape over the numbers (If there's time) paint the panel and flick it with everything looking good.Then take the tape off , and it'll run as long as possible ....It also looks alot better for the yard workers to read.

spade561 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 i never painted trains before, but the way i see it, if you cover up the numbers, then that shit is gettin ruined. they use those numbers so they can keep track of where the cars are going. if you cover em up, they have to either buff it or stamp that shit. if you tape em up real accurate with like painters tape, then you get your clean piece, and they get their car running without trouble. it shows a little respect for the workers doin their job. chances are, the more people tape, the more often you get yard workers just sayin "hey man, if you tape it up youre striaght..." actually thats stupid, they probably won't say that. but just tape it up real clean. you dont need a huge box taped off, just tape right over only the lines over the numbers.

Overtime Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 You shouldnt go around thinking that if you tape numbers you are ok with workers. Some workers arent gonna care one way or the other and are gonna try and bust you, some arent gonna give a shit as long as you dont get run over and stay the fuck out of their way. There are spots where im at, that everyone knows about, and they paint over numbers, not just ld lmt, and wt lmt, but everything, blast everything they can find. Its ignorant and inconsiderate. Real freight writers, as i have found, generally, show some consideration to things like that. I tape as much as I can, or dodge if i have to. but, for spots, i hate it when people who are big bombers or something want to start freights, go over as much as they can. Cracked is right, if you going over numbers at my spot, im going to have to have a talk with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midas_ups Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 i have been saying im gonna tape the numbers for months, but NEVER remember to take any tape out with me, but i think ive got into habit, whenever i look at a freight i instantly think where is the biggest space i can paint between the numbers, and havnt covered a number (apart from w/c) in about a year. Ive also tried that writing the numbers above thing, but the workers usually ignore them and if there not where they should be then ,they sure will be soon.

ArtistikFunk Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Taped trains run longer thats a fact!!! Why waste all that paint & risk your freedom to have your shit buffed cause you didnt tape or go around the numbers?? kind of scenseless to me.. What really happens: its not the Rail workers not being able to read the car, They just look down at the wheels to get the cars tracing number where they are stencilled in plain view on the trucks.... The culprit is the customer, Rejecting the empty car because they cant read the Load weight limits! In some cases, the customer rejects the car because they don't want their goods travelling In a damaged looking piece of shit railcars with paint all over it.... I even heard of companies rejecting cars because it made their business look bad layed up on the outside of the building with a car painted up top 2 bottom..This is what Pisses railroads off because now they have to send a train crew to come pull that car out of service & bring a clean new one in.. Sending this much needed car due to shortage of cars to the "home shop repairs" track. (it all boils down to is lost car revenue dollars for the Railroad= thousands of lost man hours too ) On another note peep this: http://www.cordovabaystation.ca/newsCdn/2006/06012704.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HURST Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 <<Would you believe a graffiti writer if he wrote the numbers back? It could have been changed or anything.>> Unfortunately I've seen several instances where writers attempted to rewrite the numbers above and actually forgot one or more numbers in the process. It's most likely federal law to have officially stamped reporting marks and numbers, so the rewrite never suffices. I pretty much never take flix of pieces when the writer blasted the numbers, no matter who it is, it is an action that is completely self-defeating to our culture. The only exception I make may be for a flic of a wholecar on occasion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WHOWHAT Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Originally posted by fr8rokr@Jun 8 2005, 07:01 PM so lately ive been duct taping the numbers, piecing, taking a flick, and then leaving the tape on thinking that it will run for a while with the tape still on, i imagine that any worker would pull the tape off before wasting effort on the buff, not sure if this is effective but has anyone else tried this?, i know i could pull the tape off myself but i know and most of you know a piece looks better without square blocks of numbers throughout it and the longer it runs with the tape on the better Quoted post if you take the tape off they will not buff it becouse they see the box and say its already been fixed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
