Old Cans Of Paint, Serious Collectors

[Top gun]

You have a great chance to live in USA and have the digging passion...In Europe it's getting harder and harder to get old cans. When i see the number of old cans(not sold by collectors but by particulars that don't have a clue about spray paint collections), signs, charts, and paint stuff on Ebay.com, compared to what i can find on europeans ebays i think "damn..."

But USA are a big country with a huge past for spray paint, unlike Europe. When i see the size of your racks...god damn.

But i'm a keep doing my thing, not later than tomorrow! Hope i'll find stuff.

Juca, what I usually do with old cans that I plan on using in the future is gently remove the stock nozzle and replacing it with my favorite cap, then never take it off. Particularly with Krylon. I'll pop a NY thin on there, and if i don't finish the can in one session, spray it upside down the clear it, wipe it off, and try my best to keep it from clogging.

hard to find 400 favorite caps ^^ 3 failed valves from 410-411 cans,stock caps on them now,and removed all used cans around 60...

^Yeah, but Top Gun man, your collection is insane! Probably one of the best examples in Europe. Crazy props to you for finding all the stuff in stores and hunting shit down. Those vintage Euro cans are solid gems.

I got to find someone to trade some old school UK cans with... Smoothrite, Hycote, Autochem Chrome, Carplan, Cycle Style & Plastikote Home Style. Was pretty stoked recently to get an email from one of my boys with a Maribu Buntlak chart. Actually, I think it used to be mine before I moved and gave up all my old paint...

[Top gun]

I've just made my "feuille de route" for tomorrow...Eastern-Belgium: Namur, Liège, pretty old and industrial zones, hope i'll find more gems...

[vintagespraypaint]

Here some of those PT's Grape, Spa Blue, Brilliant Blue, Deep Blue, Apple Red, and some black/white some of the older style and some newer...

[Juca]

btw top how much money you spend per one good trip? (trip outside of the france and when you find many cans)

[Top gun]

btw top how much money you spend per one good trip? (trip outside of the france and when you find many cans)

30 or 40 euros of gas, and 1euro/can max, except for reeeeeeeaaaal hard-to-find gems that the seller don't lower price, or that i can't rack.

10am to 19pm work, non-stop, i smell if the "big" cities gonna be good places, if not i visit every fuckin little village on my way back.

[varivaldi]

Here's a question for youz guyz. What's the story with Mr. Spray.? Is he a small/mid-market brand.? Was it regional in terms of distribution.? Is it still on shelves as new product.? If anyone has any pics of other labels or colors post them if you can. Also, if anyone has any Mr. Spray cans they are willing to trade/sell or give away for the cost of shipping let me know, I'm diggin' them. Included is a Mr. Spray "Shamrock Green" I scooped at a closeout spot last week. Other's I got 4 years ago from a garage. Thanks.

valdi-
Mr Spray is a Plasti-kote brand if memory serves. I think it's their cheaper line paint compared to something like Rust Not, but I don't remember what the performance was like. Nice to see that it may still be in production.

excellent technique, I admire the approach to the hunt. I hope you manage to find some sources that are not stores, perhaps used cans from mechanics or carpenters. I imagine there is a lot in private houses and businesses in Europe.

[jib25]

Believe there's a super early Mr Spray too where the character and design looked way vintage. Will take a flick and post unless someone already has it.

[jib25]

Funny... I've started saving some PT's. Just grabbed some of the earlier style in 'Country Blue' 'Warm Yellow' 'Soft Peach' & 'Purple' - Such great paint!

Post the Fuckin broma guy.............................

[Harvey Wallbanger]

My only Mr. Spray is a full can of blue that I found on the ground at a piecing spot in Quebec in 1995. It had the french label, and was actually the first can it ever occurred to me to "collect".

[Juca]

which old spray paints are oil based?

[Juca]

top gun you found any good can?

[Top gun]

On the road at 7am, arrived in Liège, Eastern Belgium at 9.30-10pm, 2 hours looking after paint stores, nothing...I thought "damn another blank trip..."

I decided to go to the other city, Namur, on my road back, but i had the plan to stop in every minor cities i'd came across...

I stopped in Huy, and quickly found a hardware store called "Quincaillerie du Sud"("South Hardware"), got in, and immediatly spotted the cans, but nothing really old, except those Ultra-Color(80's can, super great paint) i already have, and those Tek(1986)...

I asked about five times the owner to look after some old cans, he said "i don't have anything", and i kept asking. Then he came back from the back of his store with those Krylon boxes! Hoooooooolllyyyy shiiiiiiiiiiit!!! I was in a dream, big time digging, finally. But i wasn't satisfied so he felt he had to look harder, and then he brought me the Borden Krylon(by the way what is this color? Green Bronze?), but without her cap. I said "Man you gotta find this cap dude..." He went back with a big light-torch and came back with it!

On my road back i was so fuckin happy that all the other cities i've visited between 1pm and 5pm, and where i hadn't found shit, it's wasn't so bad, cause i had all those crazy never seen before Krylons!!!

Saul good man. The bonus is that we got to see a totally different can all together. That's tight too. Wonder if there is a Mrs. Spray or Mrs. Color.

[imported_joewelcome]

Top Gun, those cans are amazing... top digging marks!

Bronze Green is probably the best way you could translate O.D. Khaki (Olive Drab Khaki), a military color and one of the most interesting Krylon colors. It has so many shades in it.

Those Krylon decorators are fantastic. Have never seen those before... Brussels address, Dutch and French only, it's like they made these only for Flanders?? Benelux?? Amazing!!

O.D. Khaki? So it's super-rare! Cool!

Yeah those cans were exclusively for France, Belgium and Switzerland(where Domit still sells Krylon nowadays...)

Krylon had a lot of difficulties to break on the other markets, in Germany it was due to the competition with Auto-K and Peter Kwasny(Mr. Dewavrin, the french SEDPA boss told me great stories about what happened during the 68 DIY Show in Germany. Peter Kwasny called the firemen saying the Krylon stand was on fire or something vicious like that, just when the stands were crowdy as fuck! Bad publicity...

The store-owner where i found the Krylon told me he was in the store since 1974 as an employee, and 1978 on his own. He told me the cans were here like way before he was hired, and that it was the old boss' own cans, who was a car-fanatic, and that he used to make little jobs on his favorite models...Like the Presto spray for the Opel Camaro!

[jib25]

lol.. dope story man..

[varivaldi]

So I guess Krylon still makes Hot Pink...but in the short cuts cans!?! Come on really..? Help us out will you..

http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x205/graffhed/cans/DSC03909.jpg

[imported_joewelcome]

Krylon Glanzbronzegruen/ Glanzend Bronsgroen we should also note is Glossy (glanz means shiny, lustrous, brilliant, etc.)....

O.D. Khaki was its own catalog category, the 2300s. It was that interesting of a color that it didn't fit in with the metallics, the greens, nor the browns. And the more common is 2301, which is glossy. But there was also a much shorter-run flat O.D. Khaki, discontinued in the 60s or 70s. Anyone got one?

[OG5BALL]

ok thanks

[OG5BALL]

if anybodys into buying cans with no lids i have about 30 of them. including some bordens. let me know ill sell them cheaper. and youll get more for less...

[varivaldi]

Yeah, and if anyone has any tops they can let go of to match the cans OG5BALL has no lids for, let's put them back together and make matches. So, NO MORE TOSSING FLAT BALL TOPS IF YOU USE THE PAINT. Just a thought.

Thanks man, im just trying to get a decent collection for myself, and find cans for people who need them.

Heres what i got as of this morning, got some painters touch and flatballs also but the krylon had no lids. I just thought the rusto looked good. The can with no lid is a beige/ almond color.

all the lids have different style labels.

DUMB QUESTION
WHATS THE OLDEST CAN ON THIS THREAD? COLOR AND MONETARY VALUE ? JUST CURIOUS.

[imported_joewelcome]

yep that can was in The Art Of Getting Over, one of the first places to showcase (but not explain) old cans.


samsung- this is a complicated question. the oldest cans are the canister/"soup can" models of spray paint, dated roughly to the late 40s. color demand and monetary value both fluctuate greatly, vary with the buyer, and are not easily explained.

people routinely come in here every few months and although we don't want to make it exclusive and aloof, they don't know what it is we do and just tactlessly ask us, "what do i have to find to make a lot of money easy?!" you're not doing that, right?

The first "Style" of spray paint. There is other cans out there that no one has seen, but this is the oldest and one of the rarest. Go find a case of these and you will be sure to make a good buck on them....

****Not mine, but part of a private collection.

[QUOTE=imported_slyle;7947975]looks like misc 83 style cans...QUOTE]

Yea. Even though these arent really sought after, ive been told that alot of people dont realize its compared to Krylons barcode and paper label paint, which was pretty good.

Im not a Rustoleum guy really, maybe because on the west coast Krylon and OSH were our main source of paint, Especially in the early 90s. I still think Can Control and alot of other graffiti mags helped put krylon on the map out my way.

But i do however get alot of people who hit me up for scottys and or 83s all the time. Alot of people like Rustoleum regardless of the years i guess.

Im still a rookie, who knows maybe ill have a collection of rustoleum too down the line.

Its all good man, I know you like those square krylons. That Medium Blue is a dope color. Not only because its borden, and has a barcode label on the top, but because in all my years of using krylon, i have never seen a medium blue.. Let that one sit on your shelf.

[OG5BALL]

Heres this mornings finds...

Theres 3 "one pound" cans in there with metal tops. PEEP THE AQUA GREEN METALTOP. It has not been used AT ALL. The condom was brand new. Varivaldi i got you 3 more Nybcos bro. 2 are full.

Yeah those are nice OG. Also feelin' the British Black!!;)

What's up with that Krylon and the type on its side.......??

[Juca]

dope green

[OG5BALL]

Thanks guys. The british black is dope. that satin is a borden from columbus ohio.

Theres 4 things that make this can different.

1) The "Satin Finish" on the side.
2) The 5 balls are smaller than usual.
3) It has a Red identification label on the can, instead of the normal black
4) It shows a "selling slogan" underneath the krylon stamp. Talking about what it does.

This can has no cracks in the lid, and is more than half full.

BRITISH BLACK!! For GUNS nonetheless where gun ownership in that country is lower than punk ass kids jeans these days. I don't think the cops even cary guns on the street.

Shouldn't it be a 'pound' can too...hahah, their currency weighs pounds. That's some heavy money. I'm dumb, goodbye.

[slyle]

78-83 rustso are equal to paper label/lithograph notch and non notch top krylons. Also similar to age of Ing. label caps which came after them. Bar codes were more late 80's cans, similar in age to the rusto's with comfort tips.

Those are great cans, with a real classic look. I still grab them if I find them full or close to full. The 78's are my favorite the stops rust logo still contains drips, the scotti is on the back, and they still used old color names like fire hydrant red instead of regal red. Good paint either way.

[OG5BALL]

its just the name i think. its a 12 ounce can with a picture of a machine gun on the front.

[imported_joewelcome]

for a minute in the late Borden era, Borden clearcoat came like that, with the adjusted graphics. i think there's gloss and satin clear in that style. Krylon seemed to keep certain can styles for less-popular products the same for a long time, or make them unusual and stand out. also, I love that DuPont can art, and EasyWay is also a classic (did Plasti-kote make that?).. and yes British Black is pretty nuts.... at least there isn't a friggin golliwog on it (that's for jib and nick).

Krylon's Rust Magic line was a flop, that's one reason you never see that stuff. Krylon shifted from listing "Rust Magic" as an ingredient, then made that line circa 1985, then it seemed to only last 3 or 4 years (have to check my charts). It was sorta from the same time that Rust-oleum introduced Woodsaver. I suppose that no one believed Rust-oleum would make a wood paint any more than people expected Krylon to make an expressly anti-rust paint. Both were discontinued quickly, though Woodsaver is much easier to find.

Valdi, you're buggin! :)
Yep, their normal police don't carry guns and it's a pretty big deal to get caught with a handgun or a rifle if you're not hunting. Don't open up that issue, or else the Brits are gonna ram our handgun death rate in this country down our throats!

how rare today is pennant? is there like 500 cans left in whole us or less? btw would you like to have empty one too?

[slyle]

I know of 2 in collections. Rumors are there are a couple more, but other than a few krylon colors no one has found its one of the rarest. A mint one sold on ebay for around $800 US a few years ago. I am sure there is more out there, possibly a case sitting in some old hardware store waiting to be uncovered.

[Top gun]

Is there a Krylon color(or other brand) no one has ever seen or heard of?

[Juca]

is there any color that noohe has found yet? damn i just pictured old dude with penannt blue in his hand and he painting some fance somewhere deep in rural part of kansas ^^

Is there a Krylon color(or other brand) no one has ever seen or heard of?

seems like you are much faster then i am,lol used to have the same question.

[slyle]

I would have to go over my color charts, but there are a couple of really odd short run colors from the 60's that either have not been found, or just as rare as pennant blue. That krylon "soup" can I posted is pretty rare. There are also tons of odd brands out there where complete color collections have not been found. I have heard of some crazy sears colors they made, yet have never seen a can....

whick color is in her/his hand? looks dope...

[imported_joewelcome]

Sears brands! Looks like Avocado. Safe bet for the era... and that's Vamm, a him. Haircut also a safe bet for the era!

Btw, 90s cans are usually easy to date (at least Rust-oluem and Krylon). Rusto always has dates on the can designs, Krylon cans will have one and often two dates on them. Krylon usually retains one date for a can design and a revision date usually in parentheses. So it'd say something like 1991 (Rev. 10/94), thus it's a 1994 can. Same for 1996 cans and so on.

[vintagespraypaint]

60's Krylon Chocolate brown. There is one out there, but I don't have a picture of it.

[slyle]

Who has the chocolate brown, thats a rare one I wanna see.....it's like bigfoot....

[vintagespraypaint]

Sly call or email me and I'll let you know. I remeber talking to him about it years ago it was a 63 or 64 if I recall correctly, I am sure I had a pic on my old computer which crashed and I didn't get anything off the hard drive although I still have it if any one has suggestions, there were some nice pics on it.

does someone know how to remove glue on the top? my problem is becouse there were some price tag that someone removed and now there's some glue left,cant clean the top with nitro,nail polish remover,paint thinner etc etc becouse top on that can is painted with same paint which is inside the can,also tried with hot water but cant,also there are some other stickers on the top so i cant throw it in the water and wash... someone know how?

[slyle]

WD-40, liquid wrench or some similar type of anti-seize lubricant will remove gum residue....still might remove paint, but not as harsh as nail polish remover

done,used wd 40 and it works fine,removed the glue and paint is untouched,thanks imported style

[slyle]

WD-40 is also good for removing some light rusting. Its good for cleaning and leaves a nice shine.... Also as stated before graffiti remover works without removing paint. Always test first, for the most part its safe...

[jib25]

I got some Graffiti remover on Slyle's recommendation and it works a treat. Usually start with the bottom/back side and see if the can is missing its' clear coat, then figure it's safe to proceed with caution. Bring them up a treat, plus the caps!

These are some of the coolest color names....Parrot Green, hell yeah. Who's cans are these..?

Great labels too.

[varivaldi]

Oh, by the way.... maybe try using rubbing alcohol on the sticker glue. I use paint thinner, but only on cans I need to return to the store for other cans (it's a long story, but a great way to get cans for a dollar and get rid of cans you don't want). Cans I trade or sell I will usually use the isopropyl alcohol from any drug store. Just a thought.

[slyle]

Those are his, though the nifty pink and american beauty were mine at one time...nifty pink is not bad paint, little on watery side, but real nice light pink. I love how the sparvar states "with concentrated color, use less to cover more" I guess Krylon was trying to build up their budget brand...

Where does it say this can is made??? Can you get a shot of the back??? And are you peeping CMC in your work truck, gotta love that...

[herbsyntec]

Does anyone know how oxalic acid interacts with cans? Does it mess up the paint, does it destroy the label, etc...?

[OG5BALL]

Where does it say this can is made??? Can you get a shot of the back??? And are you peeping CMC in your work truck, gotta love that...

The can was made in San Leandro. About 30 minutes outside of San Francisco, at a company called Pacific Aerosol.

Where it states the contents weight, it says... NET16 ozs - Volume 1LB - Fluid 15 Ounces.


On the bottom of the can it says 68. That would probably be the reason this can has the same top as the 64 cans.

It could also be that the original owner had a yellow 64 and swapped tops. Who knows.

i take a blowdryer to peel it off easy. then i spray 3m adhesive on the back of the label. let it get tacky about 30 seconds and lay it on

[OG5BALL]

you can also take a blowdryer and heat up the lid, if your scared it might shatter when pulling it off.

Personally when I checked out your auction last week or 2 weeks ago I thought, ok, so here's the grading scale, cool. Definitely very informative but it's a lot to take in. When I see an auction with just the color name and a super short description I usually move on because if I'm buying, anything on ebay actually, and the description leaves me wondering about the quality or trustworthiness of the seller, I don't feel comfortable giving my money away and worrying about what I just bought.

Half of today's find. .25 cents a piece. Then he made it all for a $1.00. Thank you indoor flea market.
Other half of the find when I get the pic emailed to me since I only took a camera phone pic of it and I have no smart phone to send it to myself. Never laid eyes on the 3 paper labels to the left. All full unused.

4 more cans on Ebay, using the CMC grading scale. how do you guys feel about people putting cans on Ebay with minimal information?

I normally avoid buying paint on ebay, but if i do some browsing, I prefer as much information as possible, with more than just a pic of the front of the can.

[slyle]

I had an older writer scold me cause I left my labels on my cans. They would never do that cause people would see where they got colors from....sort of like DJ's blacking out the labels on vinyl....I personally like to keep the on, some of the price stickers have great graphics or are from stores that are long gone.

When lables fall off I just reglue them on, though I have been known to be lazy and sometimes I just place them under the cap so I don't loose them....

Being that the cron is red I doubt the top is original....remeber the spot you dig anything can happen to used cans before they end up in your hands, "I found it that way" is not a good excuse for ignorance...

[HAL]

I also prefer to leave the price stickers on, unless they go out for a trade to someone i don't know or trust. I think it gives the cans extra character.

[slyle]

It's ok to leave a price sticker on, just make sure you cleaned out the spot. I have heard of people driving hundreds of miles to clean out spots some kids were to lazy to.....same goes for cases with addresses on them....

[varivaldi]

Gotta love quality control. The only one done right is the ripped paper label one. The others are metal.

No offense taken! I just wonder what buyers think, for ANY Ebay auction, when there aren't a lot of details given about the item. I have long found that the more info and care you give an item, the better you will do as a seller. Frankly, I got tired of people throwing around words like "mint" for seemingly no reason. If there's nothing to go on but personal opinions, then every can we find is gonna be "mint" because that sounds good.

Valdi- I know, it is a lot to take in. It took a lot of effort to try and write a scale that's detailed enough to work. We tested it for several hours and tweaked it. It is pretty simple once you start applying it, I've found.

Weres the best place to buy old cans? eBay?

Ebay's not that bad, but if I were you, I'd go pound the pavement, find every independent paint and hardware store in a 50 mile radius and check them out CAREFULLY and ask them. That's how many of us got started. Don't rack either-- those stores need your help just to stay alive these days.

[varivaldi]

Yeah for sure, I'm all for it. Jus thave to adapt to it. I was thinking of referencing it in a few multi can auction I just put up, but I'm running out of time for the free listing promo so I rushed it ..next time tho. i'll be in touch with you. Piece.

yea its coming along. i dont hold on to paint for too long. i spent about 200 bucks in shipping the last 2 months. and i collect differently. most people collect by years, i just collect a little bit of everything 91 down.

lol damn those boxes are hugeeeeee,how many cans is inside?? 40?? ^^

[OG5BALL]

Thats about 60 right there broken down. I sent another 50+ in a box also this morning.

Just a note to everybody, if you go on paypal and print out a shipping label for a box, its actually cheaper because you can tweak the weight a bit, and size, and it lowers the price.

I also build cars on the side, ive sent a whole "rear end" to los angeles and its only costed me 90 bucks this way. Dont be fooled into what the ups store charges you. Youll save more money doing it yourself.

[SheenOne]

how much did you make from each box?

[OG5BALL]

how much did you make from each box?

Those cans were for trading. Im trying to keep my garage tidy. The stuff on ebay is for cash. Id rather send my stuff across the country for something i really need, compared to waiting 5 days to make 10 or 20 bucks, then buying a can.

[SheenOne]

oh cool! i sell stuff on ebay too.... good money..

[imported_joewelcome]

privateer, can we see some flicks of that Crane Pink? any information on it, who made it and where? thanks.

[Juca]

anyone have color chart or know color names for old 80's-90's german dupli color?

[imported_joewelcome]

Ok I don't think there's many paint stores in my area... How's the swap meet?

swap meets are good, you have to ask and be sure these guys take you seriously. many people don't. i still say make sure all hardware and paint stores don't have anything, you may be surprised.

[Juca]

someone have cans like this one? CMC crew maybe?

http://i55.tinypic.com/2akaejr.jpg

[OG5BALL]

its not that good. its good for gas money, or if you want to put some extra cash in your paypal account to buy other cans you dont have.

Thats kind of what makes this whole thing fun though. Finding a can someone doesnt want, and selling it for 20-30 bucks or more. Its no different than digging for gold.

Some people actually live off ebay, but i couldnt live like that. Always on my toes hoping for a sale. Thats why id rather trade.

thanks,let me know if you find anything.

[imported_joewelcome]

yeah!!! for the 90s colors. nice to see that early Pac Blue, in the 3D ball design. i've mostly seen it in the 98 boxlogo. and seeing those Rustos makes me happy. those are all now collectible, and fine fine paint to boot.

[Juca]

someone collect bar code krylons? or they are not good for collections?

[imported_joewelcome]

barcode cap 80s bordens? lots of people collect those.....

and everything is good for collections!! who is to say what's not good???
if i told anyone what's good or not good to collect, i hope they wouldn't believe me.

[jib25]

thanks,let me know if you find anything.

Hey Juca.. Got it from a source - possibly 89/90s era. I might be able to find more info, charts etc. but it'll take a lil time.

Good to see this can. Damn Festival is SUCH a dope color, and it never really translates well in pictures. That tone just pops over so many colors. So sick.

http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t296/Topgunz_2007/P1020027.jpg

Here are some that you'll may find, late 70's, and 80's(i think...), when Dupli was owned by Kurt Vogelsang. You gotta look after Vogi, the bird. I got some older Duplis, similar to the american Auto ones, but only in 150ml, i don't know if they existed in bigger sizes.

[OG5BALL]

its a cool can, but honestly i like the jade can better for my collection. I already have this color, but not this clean

[Top gun]

It seems like a lot of collectors here are way more in colors than in labels and brands, while for my part it's the graphism that make a good part of my appreciation.

[Juca]

my goal is to have full color chart of old 80,90's dupli color,then i will move on other brands :) i am so happy becouse its so hard to find em and every can have some story.

[Top gun]

Hum, i've never seen any Dupli color charts...Ask Motip/Dupli by mail but they are not that cool.

what cause this leakage problems?

[OG5BALL]

That can up top is Topaz.

Top gun i understand where your coming from on the cans appreciation comment. I guess ive always liked the colors because when i used to write, the very first thing id look at was the lid to see the color. Then id look at what kind of can it was.

Now that all these cans are ancient, they are starting to be more appreciated because they bring back alot of memories for everybody. I honestly think that while everybodys out painting and keeping graffiti alive, the collectors are the ones preserving the history. And we need both of everybody.

So its cool to see you and other people hyped up about the oddball cans that look cool. That's what makes me want to go out every morning and get new paint.

Ive always been a fan of pastels and bright colors. In the late 80s early 90s alot of pastels, baby blues hot pinks, and reds were used in alot of dope burners. But they faded all the colors together and blended everything. Not like now where you see a 3 color fill in, and outline it with 2 or 3 colors. So ive always been a lid looker.

[vintagespraypaint]

Does anyone have any 90's rusto mediterranian teal.

[EPMDfan]

^^ I think I have one Dave gotta go through my storage to check... Hit me up [email protected] need to talk to you about something else too... ;)

[slyle]

One of my favorite "Odd" brands, though not that odd. I like the older ones with the more bubble letter fonts, but these are pretty clean too.....looking to fill some gaps will trade one up for other Derusto....I need top for vivid red, Shell Pink, Sandy Beige, Dark Brown and any of the other safety colors (none of my charts list them)

This does not include Protective Coatings (Primers) Regal Plate, Epoxy, C-Glo, Little Jobs and Heatmaster. Maybe some pics of those later.

I might have a couple of mediterranean teals in storage as well. Won't be able to check for a while though.
