painting in the cold...

[perfect stranger]

when it comes to big simple things, painting in the cold is no big deal... but let's say i'm painting a piece on steel... sometimes my fill colors will come out super watery and drippy.... the only trains i've painted that have been succesful were a flat black, flat white, spa blue combination... almost everything else is water and ridiculously drippy no matter how hard and long i shake the can...

so, any tips on how to avoid this little problem? i know it has something to do with the cold and everyone around my way just keeps saying to me "wait until it gets warmer for pieces" but i don't really feel like waiting.

[sneak]

im only bothered when people get lazy cos of the cold.
wrap up warm, kiddies.

[graff goon]

yes metal tends to do that drippy thing when its cold. i just fill chill for a while then outline when its seems dry. or if your into rocking pieces on trains fill with an outline cap by the time your done filling in it should be ready to outline. paint likes to act up though alot when its shit weather try to keep your cans as warm as possible thats what ive learned.

[ODS-1]

Winter is almost over anyways.

[Pearlpaint]

Yeah, I was so pissed yesterday when I was trying to rock a filly when i noticed that the cold was too much to be spraying in. Perhaps I should be wearing latex over gloves that keep me warm

[InDY_500]

Wearin latex keep your hands much warmer then goin with none at all... Try usin the latex and gettin some thin work gloves or somethin with a fabric and just cuttin the finger tip off you know... Try different stuff...

[Pearlpaint]

You'd figure that we can go to the moom, fly to mars, talk to people on the other side of the planet, even the moon.... but there are no gloves that can keep you at body temperature or warmer that is thin as a latex glove.

i just wear those thin ass girl gloves that are super tight that you can buy in gas stations then put the latex over then to keep grip on the can. work pretty good but it is true nothing will keep them from freezing only delay it. :clown2:

[RemiRaw]

keep your paint packed tight in a bag with a fleece in your jacket..
the body heat should keep them warm enuf to drop fills...

[LOReSeVeNTeN]

yeah keep your cans as warm as possible when you go out and keep your cans in the house or somewhere warm

1. place can under buttocks
2. fart
3. paint

[HAL]

Painters Touch seems to be fine in the cold, as long as you fill in lighter, even coats. Instead of one or two heavy coats, try doing 3-4 lighter mistings, until the fill is solid. The less paint applied at a time, the quicker and easier it will dry. That America's Finest stuff they sell at Home Depot is pretty good. It's made by Rusto. Black, silver and white are always safe, and the brown is killer. Good coverage.

I try to avoid regular Rusto and even American Accents in the winter, because they take a long time to dry anyways. In low temps, they take hours. Use it at night on a freight, and you're basically outlining wet on wet.

[ASER1NE]

I live up north and its real cold , and have NEVER had a problem with my cans being too cold , like said above ur body heat keeps them warm enough to work just fine. SO:

1. Make sure the train is not FROZEN , yes metal freezes and the ice crystals will make the paint SEEM drippy/watery .

2. Bring a towel if u really want to paint , If not go back home where its warm , paint a wall or paint earlier in the day.

3. Use a STOCK to fill , its the recommended tip for coverage and pressure for a reason . The paint goes on more evenly and with an EQUALIZED pressure . Plus the AEROSOL in the can should make outlining easier .

Thats my .02

[master bait]

yes...for total winter conditions:
- heavy duty winter gloves with xxl size rubber gloves on them.
2. if you have a long walk to the spot and its really cold, put your paint in a bucket of hot water for a while before leaving and shake well many times etc. then wipe 'em dry as you're going out

of course it's a good idea to put the cans in a warm place when you go out. stuff as many cans inside your sweater as you feel neccessary, put the rest in a warm, windproof bag or something.
Also if you KNOW that some brand of paint or color will fuck up in cold, don't leave it for the blinks, or whatever it is that you'll do last on your piece.

[whiteboy]

I dont think we ever get the cold steel round but du get the ruste shit that jus suks up all your paint

[IhumpSluts]

thank god this winter wasnt as bad as last..
my two cents

do your fill on one train.. walk down 10-15 cars and start to fill another.. by the time you are done with the second trains the fiirst should be ready to outline..

I wrap my cans in old socks to keep them from turning my hands into ice cubes.. latex gloves make it worse (for me at least)

it there is more that 4 inches of snow on the ground its not worth it.. plain and simple...


my biggest problem with the winter is when the blood in my hand feels like it is frozen, then when you get into the car it starts to thaw out and it feels like someone is stabing you with a million needles....

[overTHEedge]

put what cans u can fit into ur pants. i can only get like 3-4 cans, its a good technique for just quick bombs

so far the best tecnique i have found if your not wearing gloves is to be working on your fill with your thumb instead of the index, only use that for outlines. also, when you hand starts to freeze, stick it down your droors, it sucks but put your hand in between your balls and you leg. warms it right up, balls get pretty cold though(this is not a joke, it really does work). i really dig the old sock idea, i've never heard that one, but i'm gonna have to try it out. the cans being metal and cold as shit is the biggest problem for me. this is a dope thread whoever started it.

[IhumpSluts]

inkface..

if you take your fill colors and put them in an old sock it helps keep your hand warm. its a little bulky feeling at first but you will get use to it. I dont wrap my outline color or inline/border colors though, the sock makes it a lil weird and i have touble keepin my lines on point....

[ink face]

preciate it, and yeah, i dont know why but latex gloves make it worse for me too. i just got those gloves that kinda look like mittens, but you can fold down the mitten part revieling only one finget if needed. so thats what i been using, works ok.

those gloves sound perfect, i might have to swing through walmart and pick up a pair...

[source]

i got some of those mechanic gloves that are pretty tight to yur hand and warm and the front of the glove is coated with rubber so they are nice and grippy....good idea with the socks im gonna try that.

[master bait]

theres basically no sense using latex gloves in the cold if you have waterproof winter gloves that you don't mind stains on.

then again you can buy XXXL size latex gloves and stuff your wintergloves inside them to keep them clean.

OR you can sit home and make fake flicks with photoshop or something. graffiti theme live role playing

Shit man, down here in Florida we usually paint in undershirts for the winter time, but last weekend it got real cold and we had to wear sweaters! Shit sucks! :haha: :haha: :haha: :king:

[srempv]

Last time i painted was a total chaos. It was midwinter and there were no snow on the ground (global warming and shit you know). It was raining (water) like hell and it was freezing cold. The paint was stuffed in the backbag with all types of clothes to cover them from cold. Of course that didn't help and the paint didn't come out. I lost all my fatcaps and i was soaking wet and cold. I started painting and the wind threw all the fucking paint to my face and clothes. I was covered in red&blue paint.
Because of that incident i'm not going to paint this winter anymore. Fucking winter i hate you. Go away. :hatred:

[PushbuttonWarfare]

Painting in the Northeast is pretty shittastic in terms of winter wonderland painting. I've been a little bitch in the past couple because old bones are getting creaky in the inclimate weather. If you're going to go out in the cold, I'd suggest all of the normal methods, the smokers mittens, the hotwater bottle(although, I've had one leak on me before, bad scene like you were watching panic room), etc. But, the best advice I can give is utilizing those Rusto professional cans. Except for maybe safety yellow and red(safety yellow on bare wall is good though), they're super thick so you don't have to sit there freezing your digits off bothering with krylon or misting on layers of other rusto, and they dry super quick so you dont have to deal with the rustoleum cold weather sag. If you dont rack and want to go the cheaper route, stick to doing walmart silvers with rusto pro- flat black outlines. Yeah, the rusto costs a little more, but the price evens out with the walmart, and you can do a pretty nice big simple in half the time it would take you to freeze your butt off doing something else.

good thing its almost 60 out today and I'm giving this advice.....

BEST IDEA YET HAAHH!!!

[muffe]

Heh stop crying babies here in sweden we had about -20 an people stil painted! But know im happy beacuse its about 5 and its sun!

[WeksVMF]

Too keep my cans warm I racked a bunch of thermases. When its real cold out and I want to go paint some trains or something, Ill put maybe a bit more than a quarter of warm water in the thermas, then I put the can inside it with out the cap or the tips on it. close it up and do that with a few more cans to keep them warm. make sure its a fairly big thermas that will fit the cans.

[WeksVMF]

Haha -20. Here in winnipeg it can get up to -50 durring late january.

I'm sorry, I know that must have sucked, but the way you described that made me fall outta my seat laughing. Keep warm man ;)

[master bait]

ahh it's getting warm already! :)
about fucked up painting missions, I'm the expert. Worst one... it was windy. I was doing a couple of throwups under a bridge, after a short while the wind got stronger and catched my half empty backpack. the cans got tossed out of the backpack (rolling down the hill into a ditch) and I started chasing them. I had ALL my caps in the side pocket of the backpack so that was the my main concern. after collecting my bag I searched the ditch and found the cans from yellow water &%#"!
also every time I got close the wall or even thought of making a straight line, the fucking wind blew the stream to shits. I was cursing out loud and gave up, fucking pissed off... it was like a chaplin movie, I felt like I was on a candid camera

[8onus]

buy a fucking parka coart already!
they are warm as shit and you can hide about 15 cans in em no problem. body heat keeps you and your precious rackings nice and toasty!

Painting in the cold isn't too bad, It's just that sitting out in the cold waiting to paint isn't fun.

[the ugly duckling]

i hate cold weather but i'll still paint, and i've never had to much of a problem. just keep those cans warm. its the fog that pisses me off. it teases you. you think to yourself..."i could hit anything right now and no ones gonna see me", but because the wall is all wet from the fog, it ends up looking like some old, nasty, fadded, piece.

[xploda11]

I'm lucky cauz in Australia the coldest it gets is about 6 degrees Celsius

[stanone]

i like the winter, because i can write with my crew in the middle of the day and nobody will see us , i just put some cans in my bagie pants and little bottle of jagermeister

there are some problems like caps that stuck on my finger tips or numb fingers, but in my crew when someone's finger fall off another of us finish the job,

i had never problems with the paint, only with the walls

unfortunatly this winter sucked, cuz i couldn't bomb the snow with my pee

[johnneh7]

rack some hand warmers and tape them to the side of the can.

[tech503]

put hand warmers in the bag u carry your paint in
