r3ader Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Rusto is not going to make all the PT/AA cans male... it'd kill sales. Even when you consider racking losses, lots of paint gets sold. Most is not to writers, contrary to writer belief, because there's simply a gazillion more people painting that odd bookshelf than there is writers, period. Anyway, if you notice, a lot of the PT/AA colors are still female, usually the more boring looking colors. They're still nice. The more bold colors seem to converted to that male cap now, but not all of 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Doodles Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Painter's Touch is the only line of spray paint that has that "comfort tip" offered. The reason being that a lot of homeowners/weekend warriors use this line of paint (other than writers) and commented on the valve system not being "easy to use". So rest assured gentlemen, we must say goodbye to the wonderful colours such as Berry Pink *sniff* Spa Blue, and various other colours that save this (not so-shitty) line. I'm sure we'll get over it with the female cap system and such. Good news is the other Rusto lines WILL NOT have the same valve system set-up as Painters Touch. And remember the motto for those who never hit the Lotto..."In Rusto, We Trusto" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeking Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 ...there's simply a gazillion more people painting that odd bookshelf than there is writers, period. seriously, some of you are delusional. in the greater detroit area (where i'm from) there are more home depots than there are writers. someone is buying all that paint, and it's not us. i have no fucking clue what people use it on, but it isn't graff. there are already alot of euro female caps. i suppose i might need to invest in some one of these days.

iLoveRamen Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 aren't we the reason why some colors get discontinued? like for example the old school fed colors. stores couldnt but them any more because of them being racked all the time so manufacturers had to discontinue them? just a hunch.

Schnitzel Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 BTP in england forced Smoothrite to change the formula of their white in the 90's because it was so hard to buff "Hitzerot" in germnay was discontinued apparently due to it's use by writers from what I remember from some German magazine around 1996 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LICKERISH Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 your mom sucks... MAH BALLZ! that'd be tough since she passed away on Thanksgiving from a very shitty lung cancer induced death, leaving 6 kids and a husband behind, though you couldn't have known that. anyway, home depot seems to be carrying the female painter's touch, while Lowe's is carrying certain AA colors in female version, mostly a color line similar to painter's touch. the AA line must sell better, because almost all of the colors they added are PT colors in AA wrappers with female caps. one of my boys works at AC MOORE, he says that the new paint shipments coming in are also female cap cans, which also sucks, like your mom jokes.

Evangelion>Ogre Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 last time I was in mexico, it was a bitch finding decent paint..a lot of their shit uses female caps. The question someone should pose is: When, if ever, will the euro companies figure out a political strategy to get their product into (mainstream) american stores? I mean, the paint is just as good as, if not superior to most american brands (rusto excluded)..you'd think that marketing the shit would be a breeze, provided they could figure out how to disassociate themselves from graf, of course. *edit: the day I can walk into home depot or michael's and rack a can of belton will be a definite highlight.

stunt double Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 i dont really get too fussed using male cans, its all paint. but i thought that this valve system was implemented because it is cheaper to manufacture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serum Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 the majority of the european paint that gets into other countries is usually distributed by a small group of people. if they were to sell it mainstream the businesses would just skip over the middle man and go directly to the euro companies. thus it will be awhile before you see belton or montana in a hardware store.

All the more reason, wouldn't you think? With little to no advertisement, they've already developed a cult following here..if they went about it the right way, I think some of these companies would definitely be able to compete with the major brands. But then, opinions are like assholes, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
