You can say goodbye to any hope of it getting better ANY time soon.

 

It's official, they've gone female with their valve system, but not only female but fan spray.

 

And if the fan spray wasn't bad enough they've also redesigned their label with ugliness, and changed the look of the over cap to pure hideousness.

 

RIP KRYLON

^ haha.

 

This sucks though.. Not much left on the field of the regular cap systems. Either companies making caps need to start making caps for new cans, or were all going to be reduced to paying a fucking retarted amount for montana and belton and shit. Every time i go looking for paint i see more and more brands switching to fucked up cap systems.

 

As a business owner, maybe I wouldn't advertise it, but graffiti is obviously a massive part of the companies revenue since racking isn't really prevalent anymore.. Why would they shun away a massive market of their paint? I can see them creating maybe a 'specialized' line. But watch as the sales plummet due to painters not even bothering to rack that shit anyway. lets just be honesty, WE are the general public to these companies.

 

Think about out of all the writers who know, how many use montana and belton on a regular basis? Not many.. Most of use that shit for force fields or special occasions when we can get it or afford it... So that means maybe 1/10th of the graffiti paint in the word are from specialty brands, and they obviously make enough money to stay in the market and pay a entire staff to make and sell paint. Enhance that by 10 fold and your looking at the sales from major brands off of graffiti.

 

fuck these companies, they are taking money out of their own pockets by fucking our community.

 

 

I always said that if they truley wanted to stop graff, all they had to do was make it so you couldn't switch tips. Yet i never thought it would happen for the sole reason, that spraypaint companies thrive off our subculture. how many people actually buy spray paint to paint a fuckin lawn chair, or a rusty barbecue, yet alone who buys colors like watermellon for legal shit. Krylon WILL return to their old tip system, because if they don't they will go bankrupt. Yet if they do survive, expect other companies to do the same, because it will greatly reduce graffiti. People can't aford those expensive ass specialty european cans. :o

I haven't bought Kry since they started partnering with Keep America Beautiful, and sponsoring "Graffiti Hurts".

 

Now its not even worth racking! For now, Rusto will have to do. At least until I can use my saved up cash to get a nice order of Montana.

I'm very disappointed in Rusto, I just went onto their site today (I don't remember why) but now they are releasing their own fan/360 degree thingy.

I just hope they never get rid of the old design. I can't afford euro paint.

 

those are some other industrial shit or something. its like super paint. i got a can a few weeks ago, they paint upside down, on wet surfaces, dry quick as shit, and run a mile in under a minute. its tight paint but not worth the 8 bux. and if you take that shit off the top its just like a PT can on addy

I been doing the same thing, for about a year.

But on Ace's, Dupli-color, plasti-kote, and other enamels.

Best Caps: NY Fat, NY Thins, Rusto stocks

As for the tiny leaks, cut down the male cap stem to where the v-slit ends.

Use a 1/8" screwdriver and hollow out the fan tip.

It should fit any cap afterwards.
