blest007 Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 i got a gang of them for my birthday last year. at first i was a little salty, but after using them they werent that hard to use. true indeed they are not toy friendly.. paint and caps should never be an excuse - if so then take your skills to rehab. just think of people like dondi and skeme who got busy with regular old stock caps. dondi and skeme did not only use stock caps...

CACashRefund Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Man i called the 1800 number to ask em what was up with them changing the caps And they said that eventually theyre gonna replace all their cans like this and then went on to say that they hope to one day make the caps interchangable with the new and old systems but i think they were just saying that and normally i wouldnt care if they were just doing these to the gay colors but last time i went to home deezie ALL the banging colors were like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LICKERISH Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Yeah it fucking sucks... guess i'll just move on to American Accents... except that American Accents is doing it too. Only OG rusto still has the old valve system, at least around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LICKERISH Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Yes. Lowes has a bunch of PT colors, in American Accents cans, and all have the gay valve. At home depot, all, or most of the AA colors, are now repackaged as Painter's Touch Satin cans, and all have the crappy valves. AC Moore, one of the last holdouts, now has mostly the male valves. They really are switching a lot of stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllTheWrongWords Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 orrrrrr you could go on montana colors website and buy caps for male cans... and why dont you all use color vision its still good. Not all male stems are the same and the few millimeters that make the difference causes the caps to not fit all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mensa Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Sorry if someone's already posted this.

JigaboosPigaboos Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Maybe try some different brands? Valspar is good krylon is good in the right colors and metallic colorplace is completely bangin' Seriously that shits better than watery ass rusto metallic in my opinion. Anyways stops rust brand is the best dude for real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Bolster pillow Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 in ausralia a lot of the more affordable shit is male cans, i just get a large amount of glen20 (a surface disinfectant spray) which goes quite thin probably grey hood equivalent, not as clean obviously and for fatter caps usually hair spray caps do the trick, cap converters are a load of shit unless your doing large peices.

JigaboosPigaboos Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Shit if anything these bring shit back to its roots without being able to buy caps and fancy shit off the internet now you have to go out and actually work to do your fill in rather than having some caps come to your house.

fr8UNIT Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 save your old painters touch cans if you have any left........transfer the paint from the new painters touch cans into the old painters touch cans (or any male capped can) do it just like you would if using a mixing straw to mix colors except just use the stem that is on the female can and stick it right into the male can....just make sure to follow the same directions when mixing paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRUNKEN-ASSHOLE-ONER Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 THIS JUST IN!!! My oldhead MB from Philly has been in touch with the Rustolium company explaining to them what a mistake it was to switch the caps and stems and why. citing that as a "professional artist and muralist" he can nolonger use their product because of not being able to switch caps and how it's going to seriously hurt their buisiness when everybody in the "art" world who uses spraypaint switches to other brands yada yada and all that. So anyways, this is the message that was left on his phone today: Hi, this is Rick from Rustoleum product support. In responce to your comments about the "spray anyway" valve and the way in which your tips do not switch out for them, we've had other comments in regard to this problem. We are changing the spray anyway valve so that they will fit your tips just like our products used to before the switch. This will be a rolling change as we make more product. We will not be scrapping the product that currently have the female tips, but we will be replacing them and we will not be creating any more of those. Hopefully by the end of the year all of the products that currently have the male valve and female tips will be switched out back to the way they were before where you can switch out the tips. If you have any more questions give me a call. FUCK YES!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Quickwood Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 with some other male cans i used regular caps by sanding a wd40 straw a little bit so it fits in the hole on the cap and on the spout on the can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRUNKEN-ASSHOLE-ONER Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 grab a tip off an old PAM cooking spray I've actually tried that one. And it doesn't fit. :rolleyes: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAL Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 You can frankenstein together a cap by drilling out the stock that comes with the can and popping a NY fat or thin in there. it sprays slightly off to the side, but it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
