Derusto was a dope paint, came out under the ownership of Master Bronze, then shifted to Plough before Dap bought them out in the 1970s I believe.. Dap had a great run with the brand, and was definitely well distributed stuff. They were definitely up there in sales. Dap got sold to RPM/Rusto in the 90s I think, and now maybe you can see newer, crappier Derusto in chain discount spots...unless of course they killed off that brand also. Derusto was to RPM what Red Devil was to SWP- a brand demote to bargain status after late acquisition.

These older cans, and even the ones they issued after this was incredible paint....I would say almost on par with rusto....

Question - What Krylon colors (full list if possible) had the "New color for the 80's" sticker on the tops.?
Also, which had the "New" right on the top..? Thanks.

If memory serves me it is similar to rusto's new colors for the 80's. Burgundy, Almond, Brick, Bonfire, Topaz Yellow, and possibly one more....Joe Welcome might be able to help on this one...

Looks like there's a "New" can on the old ebay thing there. Ford Blue.
I have a few "New" terra cotta Krylons too. Add thems to the group.

No because beige was available before than in 68-75 series....
As for the newer cans with new caps you notice you had two different styles. In the older last issue borden cans I know it was light peach, teal blue, jade green, mauve, rose, colonial blue and I think Taupe......I could be wrong and I could be missing some.
the newer ones like terracotta, grape, warm brown, Chamois, Salmon, possibly a blue. Those were like 91/94 Sherwin Williams colors. I know top gun says violet, which could be right too...especially if he has one.

Raspberry, Summer Squash, Wildflower Blue, Leafy Green, and Heirloom White (only cause I had a shit load of it) Honorable mention to indian spice and autumn gold, but by the time I started using them they stopped making it....oh and Dune hit me up got some vinyl news for you....
varivaldi
02-12-2011, 07:33 AM
Top 5 - Raspberry (RIP around here), Green Apple, Green Apple, Farmhouse Red (RIP a.h.), Seaside Green (RIP a.h.)
Honorable mention - Blackberry (RIP a.h.), Summer Squash, Leafy Green,
Side note - Autumn Gold: Haven't used. Have 2 cans. Never saw it for sale but was given 2. Would like to. One day maybe.
I've oft pondered the green selection with American Accent. It's pretty broad. And they don't have a "Hunter Green", though they have Hunt Club Green , but at least the name is snazzed up. 6 greens in total. Guess it goes with the nice patio housewife type. I only ever see satin AA at my retail art spot. Then all of a sudden my liquidator place started, no longer though, getting AA gloss in really dope flavors: Cabana Blue, Cocoa etc. The catch was they were sporting the new male valves. They AA's at the art spot never pushed out any new valve or gloss cans. So help me I will jump out of my one story window if AA messes around with the good stuff. Enough is enough already. My favorite paint to use.

They put them on regular top cans too not just notch tops. In my opinion adding a sticker to a top that didn't have it is like adding a top to a can that didn't come with it, doing that is bootlegging the can that you can't find and to me that ain't right...

hmmmmm. so many AA colors. i have utterly no idea what new AA is like (fantips now?), and i just had to check the website to see what's still in production. i'm not boasting, for years we were cleaning up whatever early AA colors we could find.
Indian Spice and Autumn Gold are total winners, totally obvious since they've been discontinued and have been mentioned. But buttery and rich colors like nothing else.
I enjoyed Iris Blue, Cinnamon, Maple Sugar, the original Silver, and Green Apple became such a jocked color, but it was a shockwave when it came out. Not long after Berry Pink PT (and Spa Blue PT for that matter) and it was suddenly everywhere and being used to death. Goes to show you that even in the past decade, a new, bright and atypical color could be released by a US brand and people would flip over it. I don't know if that still happens...... nowadays I find plain red and plain black Montana cans left on sidewalks and alleys and it just puzzles the fuck out of me. I'm old I guess.

i didn't even learn about AA until 99. a dude i know was like..it's rustoleum dude. i was like oh word? around that time big lots had a shit load clearanced out around here..summer squash, farmhouse red, for like $2 a can or something,..but i also love moss green and leafy green..wildflower blue, cinnamon, butternut? is good too...summer squash fill with farmhouse red outline is my favorite just for memories.

Can someone post a flick of Autumn Gold, maybe next to an Indian Spice so I can gauge the color? Don't know if I've ever seen Autumn Gold altho' I've certainly heard that it compares to Indian Spice.

1. Indian Spice
2. Autumn Gold
3. Leafy Green/Green Apple (leafy pretty much went out the window when Green Apple came in)
4. Peacock
5. Aqua
Some old, some new. Hard to limit it to 5 colors. Honorable mentions - AA Sour Apple (Lowes only), AA Orchid (Lowes only) and AA Honey (because it was a throwback to A.Gold, only a bit more dull)...also Cinnamon and Raspberry!

EPMD your right on the light beige, pewter sounds correct too.....
As far as bootlegging, I get that....but guys do that with cars all the time. Take a satelite and make it a roadrunner and so on. An educated collector should know when something has been screwed with.
How many times do people send cans and tops are wrong, playing ignorance about it. Saying they found it that way. When you find "Outdoor" cans (Flea Markets, garage sales, second hand not NOS) you have to assume tops could be switched. I have even seen stuff on shelves in stores that had tops mistakenly switched. The worst is you get a can where the top looks wrong, you take off the top and the can under is destroyed, like it has not had a top for 20+ years and someone added a top to it. Or swapping tops to make a can look legit. I have heard of people doing it to pineapple yellow because krylon had so many yellows. I have sold and traded cans with tops that I put on or painted, BUT I ALWAYS inform the new owner that it is not the correct/original top.

I can see re-gluing labels and "new color" stickers on, but once you're printing new shit, it seems like people might as well just print out an entire line of Big Face paper labels and wrap them around wai-mart cans to put on their shelves.

Yes, Midnight blue too. I filled with it a few times and it ate my outline. Seems like AA sometimes does that. Recently Iris and Wildflower made me wait like 15 minutes before it would stop absorbing my outline color into it's infinite chasm. Don't see it on shelves any longer.

I should clarify, I was stating my opinion on the matter of the above 2 cans. I think I mostly boiled my main interest in color names. Like those names that really have a smoothness to them or fruit or animal names for example. Parrot Green or Lemon Yellow for instance. Throwing a cool or a hot in front helps coax me into a drool from time to time too. I've never had the occasion to use an Icy Grape or a Hot Pink, but I can only imagine if I did a split fill fade with icy on the top and hot on the bottom that Shaq would all of a sudden appear trying to sell me an Errshy Hert Berck Pertch...
They have anything in them..?

your creativity is appreciated around here, young man! :)
the more i think about it, i think i like the idea of "rebuilding" cans. boombox collectors reproduce the original labels that were over the speaker grills to make their obviously used boxes look as if they were still in the store. in my opinion, the more time passes, it will get considerably harder to find many cans in store-quality shape (1- or higher) and we'll all be settling for "dumpers" and used cans. if repro'ing cap labels helps maintain the history and chronology of cans, then i'm for it. it does have to be done with care and taste, and there lies the rub, as they say.
Flecto is a classic, they made amazing colors and their earlier cans aren't fansprays. IIRC, the Envy Green was noted for being a thick green in that shade back whenever, something that Jungle notoriously wasn't. i think multiple collectors have a few here and there, but it'd be awesome to see someone work on collecting that line. it's not an easy one.
ahhhh Lucite. DuPont paint, clearly, in a later can style. their paint cans go way back. check to see what it contains, since the older ones use "plasticized coconut" as a base... who can forget that? also a brand that's pretty cool and came in great colors.
you guys are coming up on some great cans, keep at it!

They made those cans in hundreds of colors all to match car colors. Most are metallic shades and some are not. Just like it says on the can it was made to duplicate your cars original color, using for touch up. Lots of companies used to make cans like that, but not that much anymore.

The two on the far right are most likely late 50's early 60's because they do not include the warning you see on the later cans(not to mention the style of car is from that era). The Dupli-coor spray enamel and the one finger "it's so easy" design is great. Only thing that would make it seam easeir is if a house wife was doing it......

my 1. goal is to complete this type of cans
http://i55.tinypic.com/qozvdh.jpg
i dont even know how many color they used to have since i dont have color chart or any other info.. so TOP you think that it will be hard?
Coming across those in stores is almost impossible, for my part of Europe in any case...But i think there must be like 30 or 40 colors for this type of Dupli, a regular chart in fact.

I can see re-gluing labels and "new color" stickers on, but once you're printing new shit, it seems like people might as well just print out an entire line of Big Face paper labels and wrap them around wai-mart cans to put on their shelves.
I agree 100%!!! I mean if you do it for yourself thats fine but what's fucked up is when those cans start getting into circulation it fucks everything up just like Slyle said about cans with the wrong tops on them, its the same thing and when they start making the rounds and getting into circulation it fucks up the whole integrity of it IMO...

Whats the sticker on that Yellow flat ball SWP???
It says VOC Compliant Formula and in small print I believe it says something about California but I'd have to pull a can out of storage and verify that... These were stickers that were on cans in CA because we were the first state to have the VOC compliant Law go into effect and we were the first state to get the Sherwin Williams Krylon cans because it was the VOC compliant formula. The reason it's so hard to find cans in a store in CA is because when they passed this law any store that did not have VOC compliant paint on their shelves could be fined something like $10,000-$20,000. The Borden Krylons literially came off store shelves in Cali overnight. We were pissed because the Sherwin cans were so much more watery then the Borden cans we were used to painting with.

@ Vintage - sick pics man. Dog repellent, that's an awesome can..and that Kwite Wet pic. The cans are kinda bland, kinda, but the name and the colors/names are tight.
Craigslist - I had some minor scores in the past few years. It's super sick for getting free house paint for wall productions. I can get more gallons and quarts etc. than I can store or use. It's crazy how people just let me, a stranger, into their homes and go thru their basements and take all the paint I want. Love it.

It's one thing to be keeping correct caps off cans and trading/selling them to people, it's another to bootleg a sticker that was on a cap... Then instead of having wrong tops on cans now you are gonna have people putting name label stickers on barcode cans or barcode stickers on ingredients cans and then they get into circulation and the counterfitting gets worse. I think it's better to push people to be honest like you said then to push them to possibly restore a can incorrectly. The least amount of bootlegged stuff that hits the market the better!!!

If you know your cans you know that there is a particular back to bar codes and name labels. Not sure if name and ing labels had differences. Some of them came with both name and ing stickers.
I seen someone who bootlegged an icy grape label only they forgot that the ings. on the back of the label also states the color, and charcoal black it was not.....

Key word... IF... MOST people do not know there is a difference. I mean look at how into cans you are and you didn't even know there was a difference in cans from a Name label to Ingredients. I have seen a lot of name label and ingredients label caps on barcode cans because people swap them cause the can is cleaner and that just fucks things up so after a while people don't know what is what.
Yes some cans did come with both ingredients and name labels on them in fact I have a bonfire in the correct can with both ingredients label and name label BUT with a notch top... :lol:

Not that I didn't know, just was not sure. There was also 2 styles of ing labels and 2 styles of name labels. I have also seen double variations on some bar code labels. And yes Ing labels on notch tops has happened, think I had a popsicle orange like that. Just like you can find some fat seam name on cans, and paper label sherwin williams. There is also the odd borden bar code cherry red with the name on can....never seen that in another color. I don't think it was krylon doing it, but the different companies they had making cans for them....
I think some people swap tops not noticing some of the subtle differnces, thats why its good to have forums like this so people know what is correct. Swapping fat lips on Supreme Quality Devils is also very common. There is only 2 styles of tops they take, and one style of can in 3 different weights that take fat lips.

It didn't come with one when I bought the set (are there more colors than these..?) and I would like to complete the look. Anyone have it that would help me out with a copy of the sticker..? Here ye here ye, I doth not have any intentions of bamboozling anyone in the future by selling these and not mentioning the "copied" sticker. That's not my style. That and the fact that I'm not letting go of these unless I need bail money or an organ transplant. Neither being in my immediate future. Anyone wanna be a pal and help me..? Thanks.

valdi brings up two good points....
1- removing ego from the equation is essential.
-----d'ya hear that, graffiti thugs and insecure paint nerds?---
essential. it's what we need to do in order to put quality information about cans and can details out there. in doing to, we can encourage worthwhile collectors by educating those who are willing to learn. we've been looking at these cans for years and trying to find out where the patterns are and just figuring out the chronology took time and collaboration (remember those days?). the more we explain to people how those who care about this hobby less than we do can take advantage of them, the better off everyone is.
2- i have UTTERLY no problem with what valdi wants to do. he needs a Ramona Red barcode label and then he'll have the Kalifornia Kolors complete. he's not trying to pass it off and hornswoggle anyone, he's looking to shelf the cans and display them well. in other words--- he's trying to do EXACTLY WHAT THIS HOBBY IS ABOUT. anyone with a collection has done this, cleaning cans, painting a duplicate cap, whatever, because the only damn thing you can do with collectible spray paint is display it. we all know this. if for any reason he sells it down the line, he'll probably do exactly why slyle said- he'd say "here's all the Kalifornias, but the Ramona red has a rebuilt/duplicate label." my point is not only that there's no harm in that, but it's going to become necessary in the future as all cans will only get rarer. i'd much rather keep this thing alive rather that fool myself into thinking i'm keeping it 100% "pure".
oh, and i wish nothing bad for valdi's organs, but the day that Kalifornia Kolors help with an organ transplant, i'll be quite pleased.

Just to much stuff that I am sitting on. Plus the spot is close enough I can grab it I need to. Space is at a premium with me at this point and I have to be selective what cans I bring in. Feel free to come out here and lighten the load....will keep you in mind next time I am near the spot though.

Juca your package is on its way to Croatia. Hope that shit gets there. Im nervous it wont go through customs. But everythings drained, and theres 2 holes in the bottom of each can.
The guy looked at me funny because the fuckin balls were rolling around in the box, but i just said they were toys. Hopefully these will look better for that display you posted a few pages back. Cant be having primer in there..
since i have few bad labels,my question is "what to do,to keep the labels like this or to replace em with printed labels,or to take new labels with same code,color name and bar code,but they are without "RAL code" and they looks different,also if i dont like the place where labels are (on some cans they are on good place on the top,on other cans they are on bad place,so to keep it like that or to work on them?"
also here you can see 2 labels where you cant see letters,they are blank,what to do with them?
http://i56.tinypic.com/20kc7ky.jpg
also here you can see some labels in bad position ( second canand last rasp can)
please can someone give me the answer since we have few "top" can collectors across the globe.

so put yourself in my position and tell me what and tell me what would you have made
,and yep those cans are for display not for sale.

since i have few bad labels,my question is "what to do,to keep the labels like this or to replace em with printed labels,or to take new labels with same code,color name and bar code,but they are without "RAL code" and they looks different,also if i dont like the place where labels are (on some cans they are on good place on the top,on other cans they are on bad place,so to keep it like that or to work on them?"
also here you can see 2 labels where you cant see letters,they are blank,what to do with them?
also here you can see some labels in bad position ( second canand last rasp can)
please can someone give me the answer since we have few "top" can collectors across the globe.
so put yourself in my position and tell me what and tell me what would you have made
,and yep those cans are for display not for sale.
Personally, I keep the can exactly the way I found it when I dug it up. If there's a price tag, it stays on. If the stickers are crooked, that's fine with me. Back in the 90's it was a lot easier to be selective and try to dig up another can with the label "just so", but not any more. I really wouldn't worry about it much. We should keep in mind that cans were never intended for collecting, so inconsistencies from the factory shouldn't be looked down upon. I certainly wouldn't try to mess with it. You're more than likely going to damage the can or sticker and wish you'd left it alone. You may get lucky and find another down the road that has nice, straight stickers, but until then I think it's perfectly fine and doesn't "devalue" the can in my eyes.
It kind of reminds me of the early/mid 90's Sherwin Krylons, where I'd tend to keep the one that had the sticker placed towards the front of the can. Haha. I'd be happy to find one in any condition at a hardware store these days.

That's a 78 can in 79 they switched the name to Leather Brown and changed the color number as well. They actually made all the old colors til 1978. Here is a 78 Cascade I had handy to take a pic of. I had a case of these at one point but I am down to 5-6 of them now. I probably have around 10 or so of the 78 colors... Off the top of my head Cascade, Fed Green, Fire Hydrant for sure...

It was you who wanted the labels all facing foward....I knew someone out there was ocd, just did not know it was you.....personally I always thought the labels should be on the back.

I know a kid who last summer was in Europe and bought some Montana etc. he had a bunch leftover and didn't want to leave it so he packed it in with his band's gear (tour t-shirts etc.) and checked it in. Damned if he didn't pull that one off successfully. never would have guessed he'd get away with that. Definitely not in your carry on though.

How are the Color Works in the white paper labels?
It's weird, but the label design makes them look like they'd be thicker for some reason. I guess what I'm saying is that this label design makes the product appear to be of a higher standard than the dark, four color design that looks to be more of a discount line.

yep, valdi, it's funny how many times we've had that same issue. there's no telling how many house brands Nybco made for people, even into the 1990s. and i believe the latest issue Nybcos had SWP addresses on them, thus if SWP/Krylon took them over who knows where those same designs were used.
Nybco cans of the 80s and 90s usually have the same "use for graffiti is against the law" warning on the back and of course the "christmas stock cap"-- green stock caps with red centers. but many if not most department store, supermarket, and small hardware chain spray paints were custom made by Nybco.
....and then there's just the design theft, which tends to show up in the strangest ways. you'd think that only the low-end budget brands did it, and then Rusto came along rather recently with their Industrial Choice line, which is almost ENTIRELY Krylon color names! Yep, Rusto Ultra Flat Black, Rusto Banner Red, Rusto Dusty Pink, Rusto True Blue, and Rusto Sun Yellow. Talk about drawing a line in the sand.

that's a stock cap, just the specific color that Nybco used. it's not much different from any stock cap. most old subway writers from NY used stock caps as thin caps, and probably just got very close to the train with the can. the only real old-time thin caps (which is the same as an older NY thin) that i can think of are the Krylon Fixatif cap which are also known as "Fixies" in some places, and the Liquitex/Testors caps. I believe these to all look exactly the same and be equivalent to older NY thins. newer NY thins are not as clean or pencil-diameter as the older ones for some reason.

it could be worse. baby blue is a joy to use, even low-pressure.
also, that Wet Look, especially in that condition, is one HELL of a find!
thanks. All of these are almost full.
I fucked up though...
I wanted to wash the baby blue off for the picture because it was dirty as hell. when i was wiping it my fatass thumb broke a huge hole in the lid. So now i have to use it for canvasses. Sucks balls.

that's a stock cap, just the specific color that Nybco used. it's not much different from any stock cap. most old subway writers from NY used stock caps as thin caps, and probably just got very close to the train with the can. the only real old-time thin caps (which is the same as an older NY thin) that i can think of are the Krylon Fixatif cap which are also known as "Fixies" in some places, and the Liquitex/Testors caps. I believe these to all look exactly the same and be equivalent to older NY thins. newer NY thins are not as clean or pencil-diameter as the older ones for some reason.
Don't forget about niagara caps and Jifoam fats. Also the medium tips with the black face and wide ridges on old ScotchGard cans. I also believe you could find Rusto Fats back then, but not sure on what cans. They had plenty of caps to use, even back in the 70's. You just had to rack them all. I have a few of each classic cap and can take pics if anyone is interested.
I beg to differ on the Ny Thin. It's definitely wider than the old ones with the indented face, but much cleaner. I hated those older ones, but if you're into it, the new grey german thins seem to have the same spray quality, and even have a strange indented dot unlike the older style. Too skinny for me. I actually shave down the stem on NYs with a razor to use them with imported brands. My favorite cap hands down.

No prob. I'll take some flix tomorrow.

I was only talking about thins. Many people have noted that back then, it was about fat caps and using stocks for thin lines was the norm. I have an old ScotchGard that came with a Rusto orange center.
I don't remember the old NY thins having an indent, they seem to look identical and the actuator face numbers never seemed to correlate to quality at all. I think we've discussed this one before also, but I miss how nicely the old NY's used to mate to Krylon and how it made the paint nice and clean for thin lines. The newer ones seem to flare out just enough that the dot is no longer solid. Surely this is a technique issue, but I think Juca was looking for a clean thin initially. The stock Nybco cap is fine but doesn't exceed any stock cap.

I don't thin any american brand of paint comes with what we know as a thin cap. I'm guessing it's because of the propensity for it to clog, as opposed to a non-diffused "stock tip". (the paint doesn't have to flow through channels like with any cap that provides clean lines.)
You don't remember back in the early to mid 90's when there was that run of NY Thins that had the strange bevel in the dot? Those were the only ones i remember that sprayed differently. They kinda shot paint out in a super thin, heavy line that was so easy to drip with krylon. Some people loved those caps, but i personally hated them. The thins you'd grab off Fixatif have always sprayed the same in my experience. About an inch wide, and super crisp.

interesting info....this isn't too relevant, but i used a disinfectant spray at work the other day, and it had NY Thin on it...and it kills polio apparently...i do recall there was an spray adhesive that had rusto fats on it several years ago.

I found kind of Rusto fats on some wood-saver spray cans years ago. Brand was called Rustol. Don't know if it's a Rustoleum off-brand...

THE NY THIN(LIQUITEX CAP) was great when it first came out. i always think of dero pieces when i think of how those caps work(ed) almost a square line. many old school ny guys say the thin cap of choice before those liquitex came on the scene was the old krylon stock cap- the black deeply ridgy one.
