ight. i was goin to visit my local mom and pops hardware to pick up some wire cutters and gloves and i look over and the owner (a good friend o mine) was rushing to put away all the paint and etch behind the counter in a glass display case. puzzled i asked why he was doing this. he said that his as well as other stores in that strip were hit with acid and paint tags from his store (he picked up a empty can that had his pricing gun sticker on it). WTF MAN! now i gotta be 18 to buy paint!?

do u guys have a problem with toys makin shit heated/ restrictions on buyin paint?

[seeking]

what makes them toys? cause they bombed a store? something tells me your not so far from the self described 'toy' status, yourself.

[cool ra-ul]

not because they bombed the store sorry if i seem unclear im just pissed cuz before this incident i was able to conduct my bussiness without a problem thats all.

[cool ra-ul]

p.s im no king but at the same time im not a "toy" at least not in my mind. im tryin to find a digital camera and as soon as i get one ill post work. maybe you'll give me some pointers?

Mad-man Parrish and who? They seem to be "cooler than the water in a swimming pool".

[Vanity]

most writers over 18... or most writers for that matter... dont really care about kids.

[cool ra-ul]

oh yes and the m to the a the n and the y, i believe they are the hip hop masters that u cant deny

[graffsurgeon]

wal-mart cards you for paint. you can rack from them easier then you think though.

[imported_bobobi11]

You should be thankful that you had this long before the restrictions set in. They have been locking up paint for years in this town. And if you are such good friends with the owner have him kick it to you anyway. I am assuming that he doesn't realize you are a writer.

hate to break it to you, but there are a million and one places where they dont sell paint to minors...most cities have laws in place that prohibit the sale of spray paint to minors...it think its because of graffiti and huffers specificly...i guess some kids think its fun to damage their brain by inhaling potentially deadly chemicals directly....and then theres those bastards who do graffiti...

[blah]

They have carded in my town for years and they started initally because of huffing not graffit so the hufffers fucked it up for the minors.

"and then theres those bastards who do graffiti..."

us? bastards? hmm

[Dr. Dazzle]

that's what happens when you use etch.....

[graffsurgeon]

yeah Cool..i though you was from BX? last time i was down there i didnt see any laying around on shelves and shit.

[cool ra-ul]

sorry graff u musta read the user name thingie. im reppin the D-town

[sound]

about your story...I think its probably a good idea to clean up after yourself...I write in a pretty small community and i just assume people not even knowing where i get my paint or what brand i use... place your empty cans in the proper receptacle...

[Kanedigital]

they recently started carding in my area too... my answer... steal... stealing has no age limit...


besides... who's a minor... not me!







if you're rotten and you know it clap your hands

[ASER1NE]

iono if this matters but i almost always rip off the labels on my cans , partly bc i dont want a similar thing around here , partly because if i find a cheap but dope brand i dont want others to know and go steal/buy it all

[Blur]

it is a result of huffin tht the 18 thing came in effect. sux but thats how it is.

[Anyone]

They dont sell spray paint anywhere in chicago, quit complainin'. shit happens, now we just go out to the suburbs. there's always a solution to your problems.................Fuck Daley

just quit huffing and start graffin ...thats the problem.....

they should outlaw krylon...... it sux they got rid of the phatest colors krylon sux

[esok_one]

yeah they lock the shit up here to usualy,krylons shit though,but if a minor wants paint taht bad they can get it.

[REGULATOR]

all paint in the city is locked up.....i gotta take a 30 min bus ride to the nearest home depots or orchard supplys, but its so chill its usualy worth iit.....today kinda sucked because i took teh 30 minute trip to home depot and only racked one can of paint....sucked mad dick......anyone kno what 211 mean??? after i pocketed the spray can "211" was yelled about 5 times over the PA...and shit like "jose, garden, juanita, electrical 211,211,211" freaked me teh fuck out and i stopped racking!! anyone know what this means??
