RustyBurrito Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I was going to post in the superthread but sometimes stuff can be hard to find in there. This is a full picture tutorial so I figured I would make a thread. For some reason many people cannot figure out how to make these... WHAT YOU NEED: 1 Kiwi shoe polish bottle (leather brown scuff cover for easier cleaning but it really doesnt matter) 1 can of oil based rustoleum bucket paint (whatever color you want) 1 coat hangar/toothpick/fork OPTIONAL: a funnel or something to make it easier to get the paint into the mop Now after you gather these materials (all can be found at walmart) it's time to get to work STEP 1 Look at your shoe polish bottle. This will be your new mop. There you see the shoe polish bottle. I prefer the slim ones because they are easier to pocket. STEP 2 Take the nib off the shoe polish bottle. Just grab the white plastic and twist and pull. It's easy to get off. Do not just rip the foam off like an idiot. STEP 3 Empty and clean out the bottle. You want to make sure you get all the shoe polish out so rinse it a couple times until no more colored water is coming out. Also make sure you shake the water out when your done. STEP 4 Before you do anything else take a look at the nib. You will see a little green thing. This is where the coat hangar or whatever comes into play. You want to pry that bad boy out because it will restrict paint flow. Some people leave theirs in but I like to take it out because it just makes everything work better.

RustyBurrito Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 STEP 5 Once you get all the water out of your mop and everything is clean it's time to move into the paint. This is what you want right here. In the spray paint section at walmart you can find these tiny little cans about half the size of the shoe polish bottle. Cheap and easy to rack of thats what you prefer. STEP 6 Shake up the paint real good and mix it around with a popsicle stick or something. Now you want to pour it into the shoe polish bottle. You might want to put it into a paper cup or something first so it wont get all over when you put it in the mop. This is pretty self explanatory so I dont feel like taking a picture. I would only fill it up about 3/4 of the way just so it wont make a mess as easily when you put it into action. NOTE: WITH THIS PAINT YOU DO NOT NEED TO THIN IT OUT LIKE SOME OTHER OIL BASED PAINTS. It still drips liek craaaazy STEP 7 Shove the nib back in and give it a shake or two. NOW YOUR READY TO GO! I would advise testing it out on a board first because its going to be a lot drippier then what you expect. You dont have to squeeze it a ton to get nasty drips. Here are some pics of the end result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skag Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Its a nice thread...I'm pretty sure I saw this tutorial on some other graffiti forum....but either way it really is just a matter of steal, empty, fill. I never take the valve out, I did once and my desk didn't forgive me. But it was drawn on anyway so whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyBurrito Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 I just made the mop today and took pics during the process so you couldnt have seen it on another forum :) I find whenever I leave the valve in you have to push it down a lot so it opens and it kills the nib quicker.

sk8er6 Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 sick sticky this right next to the 'wherre do i find the etch thread' atleast the people here arent like on bombingscience. every page of the marker thread is: how do i make a mop? i heard you can make a mop from shoe polish? i have a dollar store polish mop. wiil this work? how do i open a kiwi? my shoe polish isnt kiwi. and then asking the recipe for homemade krink every ink page i guess bombingscience has homemade krink, and we have or search for the holy grail of candy ink.

Bruce_1nR Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Bombing science sucks...the mods have their heads up their asses. Anyway, back on topic. I've found that if you thin your paint out too much, it will leak out of the top if you move the mop too fast when tagging, or if you tuck it in your pocket and run, you'll have paint all over the place when you open the top again. Just a thought, you might want to flex some duct tape or somesuch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sk8er6 Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 if your desperate, go to home depot and get some opps paint. some times its and a dollar for a pint for oil. or get a pint of acrylic latex closest to white, and a dark color like forest green, maybe some 2 oz bottles of acrylic from walmart or hobby lobby, and mix them together and thin with water. youll get a somewhat easy to buff, bright, ghetto junubo.
