Mixing paint

[terdbreath]

i always get brilliant and deep blue mixed up. one is good enough to outline with and the other is ehhhh. if you make a mistake and buy some shitty paint (like p.t. real orange), you can mix it with a thicker paint (like black) and it will cover. just don't expect to make piss thin krylon sun yellow useable...

[abcdhfhaskjdh]

aight thanks man, i think you mean brilliant blue.

[EPOC]

I feel bad for old cans, all that pent up creative power sitting under pressure for ten , fifteen, twenty years...it wears on the can. The metal corrodes and fatigues, the rubber seal gets brittle...kind of sad, and conducive to the situation Raven described. The sun probably softened the goo that had hardened just inside the valve, and the valve itself was so beat down by the years of sitting around that the hard goo was the only thing holding the paint in.
If the human race were to be suddenly wiped out by plague, we'd leave this odd legacy, among others: stores that carried spraypaint, all crumbling and home to squirrels and pigeons, and like twenty years after the plague cans finally start giving out structurally and jetting all over the birds roosting atop the paint rack...

Dude that was beautiful

[abcdhfhaskjdh]

stops rust sail blue is alright.

[abcdhfhaskjdh]

ceiling texture mixing caps are the shit!!! i racked some from walmart. those bitches are high pressure. you can fill a can in a minute or two. beats the hell out of the wd40 straw those things are so high pressure, you dont even have to chill a can. if you spray it upside down for 3 secs, the can is ice cold

this isnt the brand they carry at walmart, but its similar.
grab the straws and 2 caps of 2 cans.

http://www.mclendons.com/img/products/10/10728250.jpg

and for the whole axe can thing...

stock paint cap. pop put the dot. but in a wd40 straw. connect the other end to a wd40 cap. connect to axe can. or you can make a tiny notch like a fat cap in the axe can's male stem, and plug directly into a paint can.

ahhh i feel like a dumbass. well sorta not really. Well i went to walmart today and took some off the same can u had in that pic. They have 3 different sizes in tubes. I took the small and medium, thats sorta y i feel dumb and also cuz the straw is a little too short. I should have just took the straw out from the bigger version of the can, oh well. There straight though just havent really tried them out, ill post on the results tommorow

[sk8er6]

oh, you put one can upside down and one right side up. so the shortness shouldnt matter. you should have gotten the large one thouugh, lol.

[abcdhfhaskjdh]

ok thanks sk8er6 ill do that

[SMOOTH-NUTS]

SORRY...

[abcdhfhaskjdh]

SORRY...

FOR?...

[SMOOTH-NUTS]

dont worry about it

[night]

anybody got any new good paint mixes?

[restecp]

can anyone tell me... cuz in little ol new zealand at the bottom of the world we have little access to decent paint... besides the beltons n montana cans we dont really have any other brands of paint... has anyone here mixed a male can into a female can? becuase over ehre we have lots of access to reasonably good and cheap male cans... but probably only about 20 colours there... wud b nice to know if anyone has figured out a way to combat this... ducer...

[pureg]

i trasfer alot of my paint form cheap male cans to female cans use the tips off of here for mixing caps just change it up so one fits a male and one female.

oh and dont fuck with freezing cans and shit just let all the pressure out the reciving can
its alot quicker

some of my mixed colours

[night]

diggin the pink and green in the ironlaks in the front row.

hopin to get mixin again soon so i can try to make a seafoam green.
shouldnt be that hard wif the right proportions of flat white and emerald green krylons.

[abcdhfhaskjdh]

dang the idea for lettin the pressure out of the receiver is a good idea.

I used to love mixing but i dont like the harms of it cuz i was mixing and i had cans blow up on me, but not like a hole in it just the botton part came out. So keep a watch on the can when u are heating it.

[night]

heard about that happening before.

are the cans still useable afterwards?

[abcdhfhaskjdh]

i have never tried it. Thats sorta like robbing a bank u tried robbing once before but never accomplished it the first time so tried again.

[stat]

can anyone tell me some paint recipes for paint? not like mixing cans but i mean paint for mops or markers?

[johnneh7]

read the first page of the ink thread.

[abcdhfhaskjdh]

yeah ink thread, its in the yard

[Mellow]

nice mixes^

[waseface]

Those new rusto american accent and painters touch colors can easily be transferred into an empty can of krylon. dont even need transfer caps just use the stem on the rustos..

[abcdhfhaskjdh]

to me the paint is shit with the new cap system, how does it work in the krylon?

[Knim_One]

yea so i tried it with the pen tube and got it to work 1/5 trys. 3 broken straws (realized u gotta make it super short) and i figured it out but need to perfect it.

i gotta do better at heating/cooling the cans cause i did a really half assed job (cooler with icewater for like 5 min and then dunk it in some lukewarm water for like 1 min. lol.

i did make a good covering midnight blue though.

[abcdhfhaskjdh]

NOOOOO dont freeze the cans, messed with the valve system. Just heat up one can or take the receiving can and lower its pressure (do this by tipping upside down and spraying with a fat cap, mixer caps without the tube on the work the fastest)

[dr.pablo]

tip for color mixes.

if you have a darker color, and want to lighten it, add the darker color TO the lighter. it wont work the other way around too well. at least it will take forever. same thing goes in reverse to making the (shade) of a color.

on another note, i racked some tips off tire sealers and they worked fine with mixes. oh yeah... basic art class finally paid off!

[abcdhfhaskjdh]

thanks, a semi decent post for u.

[illstate]

quik question i was wondering if any1 new were to get black bukets of paint for cheap.. for rollers cuz i cant ever find any cheap buckets.. but i see alot of people use black for the shadow.. and i doubt they go to home depot and order black paint cuz that shit aint cheap if u know u can message me thanks im tryin to do a whole train but need black paint..AVIAN COHcrew

ive seen that picture before........hmmmm?

[mind@ease]

So I made my own mixing cap today. Here's what I did:

1 Razor Blade
2 NY Fat Caps
Epoxy
5/16 Drill bit
Coffee maker

Basically, I put the cap on its side like a carrot or somethin, and sliced it down with the razor.
I made it flat, and trimmed off til I got to the top of the valve. I took the two, and lined them up, and epoxy'd them together completely, and rolled them in the epoxy.
Then I took the drill bit and used vice grips to turn it slowly, and drilled through the epoxy that had filled the vlves til there was a clear path. (The 5/16 drill bit is small enough to go in the valve without fuckin it up)

After that I just used a coffee maker to get some quick hot ass water, held one can it it til it was good and hot, took the other and used my new cap and it worked like a fuckin charm, no mess and fast. If anyone wants I can post flix, so its easier to understand or somethin

[STALKER]

flics are always nice to post. Easier to find the directions instead of reading every post to find it

i think that is the first time i have ben impressed on here, it's all about DIY.

[mind@ease]

heres the first color I mixed up. Its hard to see but its a real funky ass green/tan lookin color. I used some sun yellow, summer squash, ballet slipper, french lilac, and harbor blue. A complete slop mix but its a pretty weird color, almost flip flop really, just depends on the light
http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o52/SDSRMP/DSCN1188.jpg

Here's my mixing cap I made out of 2 NY Fat caps. Its sittin in a puddle of epoxy, with the paper creased to allow the epoxy to pool up thick over the 2 holes, cause they kept blowin holes in the side through the epoxy. Im gonna make another mixing cap and try to eliminate this problem and I'll do a complete step by step how to on that shit with pics n all that when I do

Oh, I dont know, I just figured I'd go buy a can of it JUST to mix into that can.

Oh wait no. I had about 1/10th of a can of it, and threw it in there to not waste it and fill the can!

[mind@ease]

I got a question for you more experienced mixers:

what do you do when youve found a shade you really like, but only have half a can of it mixed up?

is there a method or anything to increasing the amount of paint and maintaining the color?
I got a few good mixes I got from mixing random combos of 1/8th cans, and I end up with a half full can of a great color, but I know I cant use it to piece (atleast not for any major part of my piece you know)

[johnneh7]

ahh.

sarcasm never makes its way through the keyboard, does it?

[fuck molly]

First I'd like to say i dont know much about mixing paint at all. i skimmed through this thread, and I have a general idea how to do it.

Anyway, I have a scrap can of 'bettertimes' Montana Gold (maroonish color) and a full can of sweet pea AA (light pink) and i want to mix the AA into the montana to make a differant color but mostly so i can use dope fat caps on it. Would that be all good with a short ass bic pen thang thang? I'm not trying to have that shit blow up in my face

why dont you make a mixer cap like the one I made and try it out for yourself?
but my .02: it should work, I dont see why not, but I read mixing brands can fuck shit up, and I put a bunch of rusto's into a krylon can and the paint didnt mix well and sprays like shit

[abcdhfhaskjdh]

find some on ebay i posted the link before. The person who sells it is the bench well thats his stores name anyways and i posted the link like 3-5 pages ago. Theyre funkin worth it too. U can clean them with tsp. pm me if you want to know that.

[mind@ease]

U can clean them with tsp. pm me if you want to know that.
I just spray out some air from an empty can upsidedown to clear mine out, works fine for me.

pm you to know what?

[RathofGod]

I sure most graff shops should now sell mixer caps

so just head down to your local graff shop

globe if your in socal

[purehatecrew]

mixing caps are the ezest thing to rack, any female can that has a straw taped to the side of the can is gold,just head to the auto department of any store look for cans with straws on the side of the can and start racking,

[abcdhfhaskjdh]

i meant to say pm me if you want to know the recipe i used for cleaning ALREADY CLOGGED CAPS. Your method is more for extending the use, but when they are completely clogged use the tsp. pm me for the recipe, there

[mind@ease]

^cool man
I completely clogged my cap the first time I used it cause I never thought about it cloggin, but I used a drill bit to clear the passageway but its still a little clogged.


why do you guys make stupid ass comments like
"oh I bet graff stores have them" or
"you can go rack tips with straws and use them"
NO SHIT you idiots a monkey knows this. And your not the first to tell us something PAINFULLY obvious, its page 20.

So now that thats out of the way-
does anyone here actually know anything about mixing paint?
cause I'd really like to know how to make more of a color without loosing that color. what to add?

they just are getting their post count up, like me by posting this. ahah.

painfully obvious is the color wheel, someone asked about mixing caps,dub shit.
and if you just want more of a color, just and krylon "nothing" or rusto "clone" it's a great non-color that just multiplies what ever color it is added to, you can find it in the dumb shit section.
try learning your colors.your the dumb mother fucker asking something that was asked at least 5 time in the first 2 pages.,try to give me shit for giving info on some one asked.

Oh gee thanks. seeing how Im a retard I just asked without lookin through the thread at all. If only I had common sense.....

oh wait.... I do....... and I read the first 10 pages before I asked.

Dont be mad at me that your reciting info found that can be acquired by THINKING. you read the first post and if you got common sense and eyes, you know about cans with caps like that and you know its VERY easy to steal caps.
you want a cookie or something captain obvious?

Did it occur to you I dont have the slightest fucking clue how mixing colors works?
If your such a genius, I got a color I made. No idea how much of either color I used. Its a 1/2 can. How do I use a color wheel and paint to get it full and be EXACTLY the same color? wanna explain that one?

[purehatecrew]

did it every occur to you your a fucking tool.yes i think every one who reads anything you post knows that you dont know shit
i cant tell you how to make a color if i dont know what it is you 12 year old piece of shit.add white you will get more paint but of a lighter color then add a darker color to try to get back to the color you started with, now tell me that this is common sense. but your the dumb fuck who didnt keep track of what he mixed and now wants some one else to tell you how to fix it.
your a fucking dumb shit toy.if you dont know how to mix colors quit.,not mix spray paint but colors.

i told some one that he could steal mixing cap because by some stroke of god there was some one more toy than you,and they asked where to get them, i gave an answer to a dumb question, and you tried to call me dumb,you asked how to make more of a color.thats a dumb ass openended question,

mufucka please, you REALLY think Im just a dumbass toy dont you?
Adding white and black will NOT maintain the color
Sorry, but elementary school ideas dont help here....
why dont you stick to fielding easy stupid questions and leave the shit talkin to people who know what their talkin bout?

all I need is a "yes it can be done without loosing the color" or "no your going to loose the color in the process" answer, so if any of you can tell me Id appreciate it.

and if I dont know shit, how come I came up with one of the most efficient mixing caps yet?
yea, thanks

[purehatecrew]

"mufucka" are you and your boyfriend giggling and thinking of words mom told you not to say.god your a dumb mother fuck why doesn't some one molest you already.shut the fuck up already you sound like a 8 year old trying to sound cool in front of his older brother.

why quote what i said if you don't read it dip shit. i said darker color fucktard. not black you waste of space fagget ass bitch.

you don't know shit you didn't come up with shit you.

you don't know what your talking "bout" you dont ask how to make more of some random mix if you know what your talking "bout"

your mom should have had your basted ass scraped out with a coat hang, and if we got lucky maybe her dumb ass would have died to.

Anything u add will change the mixture. It will get lighter, darker, less opaque, more opaque. Your best bet is to try to remember wat u did and do it again. I have had a similiar instance, i did not make enough paint for a piece i had. But i matched it pretty close, always make more than u need if u want a real nice piece.

any one have problems mixing paint for an alien can in to a normal can, i dont know if it is because of the low pressure valve or what,but im mixing dark red into a flat white and even with the mtn can heated the white is going into the alien,
any one have trouble mixing with low pressure cans?

[mind@ease]

PHC, do you ever stop crying?

its logical to think a chemical could be added to paint to increase volume and not affect the pigment. matter of fact, there might be. just cause you dont know shit about what paint is made out of or how chemicals work is no reason to get sad and start cryin and callin people names

you just keep puttin me in your signature and Ill keep not caring bout your stupid ass comments.

[purehatecrew]

alright i will stop name calling

why dont you go find this chemical that can increase volume without affecting the pigment or thinning the paint out.make a how to, post pics of the proses with before and after pics.if YOU can find it, use it, and show me how to, i will say to every one i was way wrong and im a toy who knows nothing.and that mind@ease is a fucking bad ass who rules every thing.

i will even help you. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=1102
if you find this magical chemical you can use that to mix it into your amazing color.

if it worked no one would have to buy paint, we could just use the patented mand@ease magic paint multiplier on our half empty cans.

[mind@ease]

how educated are you?
exactly

youve got no ground to say there isnt such a chemical, cause you dont got a fuckin clue what your talkin bout.
and guess what neither do 90% of writers, so I wouldnt expect any of them to know about chemical mixing and how paint is made etc etc

Im not sayin theres some magical chemical, but Im not gonna say there isnt cause I dont know that.
Im not gonna go "oh well PHC said on 12oz no such thing exists, he must be right, cause he knows what hes talkin about" cause you dont

thats like asking what spray paint does.

or what mixes with oil based paint.



you sir, suck at life.

Whoops I just asked that.

[purehatecrew]

you can spray it on a wall,or a buss, maybe a train,
also you could ask in the marker,inventory,ink, and supply trade thread to,but stear clear of that sticky called the SPRAY PAINT THREAD, there is nuthing there that can help you.

[johnneh7]

I have a can of Rusto Latex. It says you can wash it off with water. What can you do with this paint?

you can wash it off with water, and thats about all you can do.

[spindext]

If you can wash latex paint off with water, is there anything you can add to make it at least a little permanent?

[johnneh7]

not use it.

or use it in a place no one will get to put water on it.

[terdbreath]

latex paint is worthless. use it for dissing worthless stuff.

[SionONE]

latex paint is trash...use it to play a trick on ur boy when you bomb his room or somethin lol

[androidx]

Interior latex sucks. But I beg to differ on outdoor latex. The outdoor works amazing. The interior will cringle and crack.

[johnneh7]

cosigned with that outdoor latex.

[purehatecrew]

so no great strides in chemical paint multiplying then?

yeah you gotta pay some $$, but theyre reusable and a miracle on PT. mixing is near the end of the video, for real mindblowing how easy it is. i tried the pocket can thing and it messed up the rubber tho. but for real if you use alot of PT this is like the swiss army cap

[REALONEUPS]

1Shot. Not 2shot, or 3 or 4 or even 5.
1Shot. How do yall mix it for Mops?
I Knoooow its on this forum, and probably in this thread already, but my patience has escaped me and my add is taking over in a bad way.
Any kind of legit help, would be greatly appreciated.:scrambled: :scrambled: :scrambled:

hey question: i got this acrylic metallic paint shit but it's for studio work. is there any way i can thin acrylic paint so it can go into a mop marker?

[Rustofills]

Water.

[Thevisualelement]

But it would get buffed by water

[Thevisualelement]

I tried it and it would come off if you rubbed it

[lefty2]

you try drinking it, then pissing it out into a mixture of thinner..then drink that and then mix that piss with windex and some brake oil. BANG! You set up now son.

if you aint old enough to buy windex..steal some from yo momz..she got that shit you know what im saying. yeahhh.. yip yip..holla.

[lefty2]

freal tho..

fuck that acrylic shit less you go to lowes and get the right shit to mix.

[Rustofills]

^ Thats guy. Done fucked up!

[acer910]

actually, acrylic mixes can be the shit.

and besides, when your in a town where its going to get buffed no matter what, why spend 15 bucks on a mix that wont last? just go for the sick colors of acrylic and save your money.

[action1]

i ran across some aero brand rubber stamp ink in an old paper factory the other day. Wonderin if anyone knew anything about it. Oil based? Water based? Any good things to dilute it or make it lighter.

pm me

thanks

[ephect]

on the acrylic note.. what works good to thin it is window washer fluid.. basically like water but with a few mild chems mixed in.. makes a good flow for acrylic.. try it out, it looks blue in the bottle, but it comes out clear .. oh and its cheap as fuck

but does it work better than just water?

[ephect]

yea alot better, its like a smoother mix, u know cuz tap water has crap in it from the pipes and trace metals sometime.. idk you can just use a little bit of water and then more of the washer fluid, that works the best..

[acer910]

if yous a clever nigga you put something in it which eliminates surface tension...
now what exactly that might be, is up to you to find out.

[Rustofills]

I can think of a few things my self.

[acer910]

oh word?

[ephect]

umm shave off some of the rubber parts of your romper stomper boots and use that in your acrylic

[purehatecrew]

soooooo. did i miss anything?

[timeforwasting]

anyone ever mixed American accents AQUA and SWEET TOMATO? how did it come out?

[Rustofills]

If you are mixxing them 50/50 its come out like Krylon grape.

Depending on which color you use more of will determine if its a stronger shade of grape or a little more of dirty greyish pink.

[ephect]

hey yo TIP for recyclers out there.. collect the dead cans from your local yards, and then just use a CAN OPENER to open the can from the bottom. holding the can upside down of course, have something ready to collect the paint... mad easy way to get free paint for mops and what not.. usually about a cm of paint left if the cans not too old

[Vapid]

should you like empty the cans propellant first?
i dont want that shit to explode in my face

[ephect]

ahahahaah no .. no.. i mean EMPTY CANS.. like to the point where NOTHING sprays when you hold down the tip.. so yea basically just make sure theres no aerosol left.. bu when you open it with the can opener, you get a clean cut.. theres a little tiny poof of aerosol that will come out, but i doubt any paint will spray out.. hardly and particles even come out, nothing serious.. just do it outside because it will smell of fumes.. its just cool that can openeres open it so easaily. then you can just start collecting the bottom little metal discs from cans..

[Rustofills]

hmmm

[ephect]

^brggers?

[Rustofills]

So yeah. Does anyone mix paint these days besides me?

[B!G D]

I've never really got into it.. I've only tried it a few times and feel like the color I got wasn't as good as the original. Oh except one time, got a nice light light blue. I really liked that one

[SONolAR187]

i like mixing in metallics

[timeforwasting]

sometimes i put rusto paint in montana cans just because of the montana valve+rusto paint perfectnesssss

[Rustofills]

sometimes i put rusto paint in montana cans just because of the montana valve+rusto paint perfectnesssss

I like to mix it all up..I toss a little ironlak, a pinch of rusto and maybe squirt a little mtn in the mix. All into a old valve krylon.


Im the fucking Betty Crocker of mixxing paint.

[ephect]

does it all mix well seeing as ironlak is vegan.. i mean uhh acrylic :huh:

[degrading]

quick question... whats the deal with adding a dark color spaypaint to bucket paint to make it darker. does this work ?

[acer910]

mix in the powdered rit dyes, its cheaper (free) and saves your spraypaint.

but you need ALOT of rit dye if you want a gallon of white to be the color on the box of dye.
but you get some nice pastels.
and mix it in slow. realllllll slow.
and i cant remember if this works.
you might have to mix the rit dye with water first.

[ephect]

poqdered rit works fine in whiete paint

[acer910]

but work it in slow (nh) for sure, i remember a mix i made i just dumped it all and it clumped terribly. i mixed for hours and it was still in really little clumps. made a cool textured look tho

[tack1]

could anyone recommend any colors to mix

[acer910]

their burgundy color made a salmon pink color when mixed with a quart of white latex.

but a couple of their dark green packets should make a nice sage green.

[tack1]

i just mixed sail blue and light green came out with a light blueish green its pretty nice

[Rustofills]

does it all mix well seeing as ironlak is vegan.. i mean uhh acrylic :huh:

I dont think ironlak is acrylic. Im pretty sure its a oil base . In any case. I have never had any real issues mixxing ironlak in with other paints like Krylon or Rustoleum even MTN and Clash / Monster. Infact, I have found that if I take a full new can of ironlak and pump it into a half full can of Krylon or Rusto that you just end up with a almost perfect blend, You do still get some of that ironlak smell. But its not as stronge.

With all this said. I havent botherd to pump anything into a ironlak can. Only take out. I dont like the valves on ironlak personaly.

Heres a tip. Save your self a few old valve styled krylon cans. Use them as the fill / reciever can. I have found that they have the best valve for mixxing over and over again. Even rustos cans cant hang like a old krylon can. If you feel the pressure is to low. Put the fill can in the freezer and boil some water. When the water is to the point where its started to bubble. Turn it off and drop a few cans of almost dead rusto or krylon in the hot water. Let them sit for 3 to 5 minutes. Youll feel how hot they are when you pick them up. After the cans nice and hot. Almost to hot to hold. Thats when you can pump the last little bit of propellent out into your feeder can to your fill can. You'll notice that you will need to do that from time to time. Especially if you make a real thick blend or over fill the can with to much paint. But at that point you need to be very carefull. As there is a real chance of blowing the can up and im not just talking about from the valve.

Also you will know when you have really gotten almost all the paint out of a can, when you pull your mixxing cap off the feeder can and there is no poof of gas or paint.

With all this said, I mix everything I have for scraps together. EVERYTHING! Just dont get to crazy and start mixxing color up that dont make sence, You are just gonna end up with some puke coloerd shit that you will never find a use for. As the color could be so gross that its just ugly. I have made a few of them.

One more thing DO NOT BOTHER USEING SHITTY PAINT in a mix. Some paint is just to shitty and cant be saved. Like most older Valspars and almost every dollar store variety paint. With the acception of say silvers.

[Rustofills]

could anyone recommend any colors to mix

Yeah. ANYTHING INTO WHITE! Blue to Yellow. Red in to yellow. Blue into red. Red into Blue. Grean into yellow. Its really sorta common sence. Color mixxing is something
they teach you in the first grade.

I offer you this trick. Spray a tiny bit of what ever colors your thinking about mixxing into a litttle cup or can lid and stir them together.


Heres a easy nice useable color. Get your self a few cans each of Rusto Flat or Semiflat White and a gloss Orange.

Take a the can of white when its about 30% used and pump it up until full with the Orange. You will have a real nice light toned Orange. Thats thicker then the regular Orange and works well for both outline and fills. If your trying to make more then one can of the same color? You will need a scale to weigh the cans and know how to count.

As long as the reciever cans weight is the same and they have been in the freezer for the same amount of time. They are good to take a pump in. The tricky part from there is putting the same amount of paint from the feeder in. Thats where you need to count. Its also advisable that the feeder is the same temperature for all feeds to a receiver can.

Plug them together. Cold on top hot on the bottom. Then count 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 and so on. Disconnect, shake well and test fire. Good to go.

Now that I did my good deed for the day.

TOYS DIE AND FUCK OFF!

ive actually never mixed paint before. whats your preferred mixing media rusto? professionally made "mixing caps" from some graff'n'dance site or homemade setup?

[Rustofills]

I like home made everything. Just a couple of carb cleaner caps with a short tube between the caps and your good. I Heres one I just made a few days ago. Make them right and they last. Note I used some Showe Goo to make it stronger.
http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll193/drypickle/DSC01967.jpg

[Overtime]

I prefer the mtn cans to mix into over and over. I have a ton of leaker laks i mix into new lak cans. I been mixing scraps together for years. I have a brass mixing tube that is the fucking jam though for sure. That thing is solid solid solid

[acer910]

thanks rusto, i think ima try this out some time. a couple of questions tho.
say you were to mix paint from a high pressure can into a low pressure can. the end result would be a median between the 2 pressures leaning towards the high side?

also, how do you know when the can gets full... before it sprays you with paint that is

[Rustofills]

Yeah Overtime I too have been mixxing for years. I agree with you on the brass mixxing tip. I made one with the old wd40 caps. But ended up lossing it years ago. The metal tube it the shit for sure. I have mixxed into MTNs before they do work well. But for me personally, I like the krylons. I think its mostly because its what I am just used to and came up on. Plus even though I will use almost every spray paint out there. I dont go out of my way to get eruo or any fancyboy paint. If it comes to me. Or I happen to be around some. Then maybe Ill get some. But again Yeah if you make a nice metal capits the shit. I also make a few straight up and down mixxing caps. Pretty much just drill out the tops of 2 caps and ad a stem between them and some glue. There nice because all you need to do is a push the 2 cans with one hand on the floor or table. But sometimes they flex out and fet fucked up.

[Rustofills]

thanks rusto, i think ima try this out some time. a couple of questions tho.

also, how do you know when the can gets full... before it sprays you with paint that is

When a can is full. ITS FULL. It will not take anymore gas or paint or it will be hard to get either of those into it. Trust me you'll know. You can fit a shit load more then 12oz in a 12oz can. Plus you can tell when the can feels way to heavy. If you over fill a can. You should be carefull not to drop it of get it to worm. Thats about all ya can do.
As for low and high pressure cans, Your better off with a little more pressure then less if you ask me. But if you feel like you want less pressure just turn the can upside down and press the cap. You will spray out extra propelent. But again with if you filled a can up heavy, Your are better off with the higher pressure.

A scale is a big help. when mixxing. Get a base weight of what ever style or type of can you plan to use as a receiver can and you will never knock your self out with a over filled can.

Also if your really warried about it popping. Wear glass's of some sorta to protect your eyes. I fucking have getting paint in my eyes. 1 more thing. I have never had a can explode on me while mixxing. I have had issues with cans that already had leaking valves. But nothing more then a mess.

[raboonia73]

I think im going about mixing my gonal f all wrong. Am i supposed to be breaking the glass caps off of both and pouring the saline into the powder?

Thanks

HOW TO MIX FEMALE PAINTERS TOUCH TO ANY BRAND(RUSTO,IRONLAK,BELTON)

-FIRST take the donor can of female painters touch. look at the nozzle theres a part where it gets a tiny bit bigger where it gos into the can. take a knife and scrape it til its the same size as the end of the nozzle.

-SECOND make a slit at the top of the nozzle. just take a knife and saw the top til you get two slits in it. this will work good... but if you make the tip of the nozzle a slant (like a beaver dos to trees) it flows alot faster(i make the two slits then saw it on an angle til its a slant).

-THIRD get the donor hot. you dont need to get it too hot. ive mixed without makin it hot at all. but get it hot. then get the reciever a little cold i usually just let it stay room temp but it will flow faster if you get it cold.

-FINISH put the donor on a table rightside up. the put the reciever upside down on the donor press them together....PRESTO BANGO YOU GOT YOURSELF A MIX!!!!!!

[acer910]

couldnt you just pop the color dot out of a PT stock cap and hook that up with the usual nozzle way?

[LIDO]

can you mix into ironlak cans

[eviltrailer77]

like a champ, just consolidated all my scrap laks in to 3 sick ass colors.

[LIDO]

i had some scrap montana silvers cans lying around. i mixxed in some flat black and it made a nice sparkly black

[LIDO]

also i made a mixing tip using the caps off some belt dressing with the straw between them. it worked perfect on the old krylon cans but on the rustos it leaked all over the place. anyone know why? or what kind of caps i can use on rustos?

[eviltrailer77]

It has to do w/ the ridge on the stem of the tips. The ny fat style tips dont have it the rusto fat/phantom types do. Get the tips off of this: http://classic-motoring.stores.yahoo.net/9115.html Pry the black thing out of the front, stick a straw between em and go to work. I like these because the metering slit on the stem is wide as fuck, so paint transfers faster. On a side note, plain old stops rust rusto does not play well with others, at least in my experience. take it for what its worth...

[Cracked Ass]

I've never had a problem mixing Stops Rust into other Rustos (PT, AA, other Stops Rust). Only cross-brand mixing, and metallics with nonmetallics, has ever given me a shit result.

[eviltrailer77]

Well there ya go then, not the first time I been wrong. The last time I tried it it was flat black rusto to flat ball sfb. And it was a disaster, but this was pre AA & PT... yeah Im old...

[VDubz]

the easy way to mix painters touch....
take the can your gona fill and stick that shit in the fezzer till its super cold. take your donor can and heat it up...we all know this shit im just reiterating. get yourself a PINK sekt adapter (oinkart). put it on the can you are filling, then stick the can you are putting into it in the top of the adapter....works super good:)

[orarok08]

Been mixing PT colors into old Krylon cans. Works great with a Phantom tip.

[PreOne]

hey, ive been mixing cans and combining scraps for years , been out the loop for awhile
but i jumped right back in with my old wd40 setup .. does anyone know how to combine laks and mtns? since the wd40s dont fit them .. i didnt feel like reading through all these posts
