if so.
I never ever heard anyone ever talk about using stockcaps in europe. Long before you could buy caps at stores and even before you could buy caps from a friends friends friend who knew someone, people didnt use stockcaps, they racked better caps from other cans. Because face it stockcaps are usually only good for one thing and that is they dont clog.

<!--QuoteBegin-master bait@Mar 15 2005, 11:03 AM one "euro" cap I recently found and think some people might like was called "level 5". it's extremely fat and high pressure... I think you can see it happen here:
^I'm with this guy. But I'm going to have to say that gold dots are shit. It keeps on spraying after you left go. Which is fucking awkward to me. I like the ... german... orange dot thing for fills. God damn. But yeah, ny fats, ny thins, stock caps, and orange dots.
I'm thinking of getting a pink dot for bombing. Ny fats and orange fots aren't quite cutting it for me.

i'm still not clear on the difference between the two kinds of ny thins. i remember i used to get them off testors paint that i racked from the hobby store. then from soho down & under, then flashbacks. then i started using german thins in the mid 90's and stopped using ny thins, then i get some more new york thins recently from 4 the hardway and i never noticed a difference. but i may not have been paying a lot of attention, especially in the early 90's when i was a toy and didn't know anything.
is one kind of NY thin is skinnier? did one originally come from testors and one from liquitex spray adhesive or did both these products have the same caps or what? was the old liqutex cap even a real ny thin is was it one of those stock tips that has a semi flare effect?
IUN THAT VIDEO THE GUY IS USING A FUCKI PESTICIDE SPRYAER THAT YOU PRESSURE PUMP BY HAND. PAY ATTENTION AND YOU CANSEE A WAND IN HIS HAND....
oh heres to my sweet satan, the ones who little path would me me sad whos power is satan, he'll give those with him 666, there was a little toolshed where he made us suffer sad satan.

They work on Krylon, but they drip. In this day and age who doesn't wear gloves when they paint, though? Personally I never used one - but I hear they are "no joke" 10 fingers.
Yeah, I used to try and make my own "Krink" too - until I actually bought a bottle and experienced the glory. No home made "Krink" recipe can even come close to achieving the bling status of the real deal. Drop that phony shit and just fork over some cash for the real shit - its worth it. KR's gotta make a living just like you and me, so might as well help a guy out - got any questions on how it compares to normal Aluminum Rusto + Thinner, PM me.
see man fuck all these gay ass caps see my friend over in spain said they only have 2 kinds of caps german thins and german fats thats all you need and they made all these rambow fag colored caps that are just not needed....all i need is a fat cap and skinny cap
i had a feild day modifying a bunch of montana caps a little while ago...
i wonder if there are diagrams of all these caps online somplace..
other than that i stick with modified stocks or just plain stocks..and ny thins&fats..oh and caligrafy tips..the black part slapped in a ny thin is beutiful..nice ghosting/fade effects...
i only read the first page so uh
pinks to fill, stocks to outline-works everytime. thins are a waste of time and i never had any luck with banana caps. softball caps and misting caps (grey/blue) are interesting but i never use them...i'm not that kind of guy.
“Your legs are as skinny as those table legs,” he said. “Then go fuck the table,” she replied.
okey i read like 3/4 of the first page and not much was said that was true so heres my 2cents
i have used lots of differant types of tips and feel i have a good understanding of each one. these are the tips that i still use on the reg here we go:
ny skinny - nice soft thin tip that can flair if you know what you are doing. also good for fills that you can take your time on. saves paint doing this. fits krylon and spanish montana well. fits rustos but with alot of over spray causing a crappy line. will fit belton, wallmart and german montana after you shave the stem flush. you can get these for free if you are smart and know where to look.
ny fat (soft balls)- my favorite tip. works on all of the above brands. good for fills, flairs, larger outlines, and fades. these can also be found if you know where to look.
german outlines (bananas)- montana spains stock tips. i use these when im painting in the winter because they are good to cold fingers. basicly the same as the ny skin (fit the same cans) but dont flair as well. outline 2s are avail for wallmarts, beltons and german montanas. the twos give a harder thinner line then the originals i noticed.
hooded german tips (colors)
hooded grey dots - these tips are the shit. i love doing outlines with these tip while beltons or mtana golds (german). they clog easy with the black or platnum montana cans (german) so shake them babies well and carry extras. when i have to outline with montana black (german) i use hooded black dots. they have the same line thickness as the grey but are higher presure so they dont clog as easy.
hooded greys also fit krylon cans and some rustos. blk dots dont usualy.
hooded blue dots - these are soft fat caps and are good for fades and shit. these tips came to the resq when i had to use rusto to outline and the can was being lame to all my thin tips. I DONT BUY THESE TO MUCH NOW THAT I CAN FADE WITH ANY THING. AN i oops didnt meen to shout.
special gold dots dont confuse with gold super skinnys-
these are my go to for huge fades soft and fat as hell. the got the big hole but a vey skinny valve so you get a low amout of paint in the mix but a huge ass flair. works on all above named paints just dont press to hard when using rusto and krylon. sometimes makes a mess if you do.
i also have a few super skinny gold dots for touch ups but hardly use them. pink dots waste alto of paint but are good for bombing fast. i have rustos but all they do is make a bunch of noise. ny fats work better on most rusto cans any ways.
i basicly make sure i have ny thin and fat at all times and hooded greys as much as possable. the rest arnt all that important.
hoppe this helps all you kids save some $$$$$$ and time.
peace
ps im looking to cop some ny pink dots (beachballs) just to try them out. pm me if you know where to find them.
DAMN I MIGHT BE SHOWING MY AGE HERE BUT WHY WAS THE NAME OF THE "NY THIN" CHANGED FROM "TESTER CAP" OR "NEAT CAP"
AND I REMEMBER WHEN THE "NY FAT" WAS JUST CALLED A "FATTY"
SOFTBALL CAPS WERE MADE AVAILABLE TO US CHICAGO WRITERS VIA THE DOLLAR STORE OVEN CLEANER CANS..
AND THE NEAT CAPS WERE MADE AVAILABLE TO US FROM A GARDENING PRODUCT NAMED "LEAF SHINE" OR A COOKING SPRAY NAMED "PAN LITE" IS IT JUST ME OR DOES ANYONE ELSE REMEMBER THESE PRODUCTS AS WELL???
il and wi ahve damn near seperate slang from the rest of the midwest..
i've heard them called either fats or ny fats since at least 88..
but then again i dont bother keeping up with current in aerosol accesories... i think i have a few of thos pink dots i bough twhen i was in minniapolis..for the super suckfest called scribble jam
i have a ny thin that i used on a rusto, and it isnt much thinner than the stock and the line isnt even a clean circle, its just a weird spray. is it the can or the cap or is that just the way that the NY thins are?
they need a cap that throws out 2 outlines in one spray, like parrell lines haha enough about caps i read like 4 BIG posts on caps everything was restated, grab some rusto fats and go bomb
HEY I BEEN USING THE GOLD AND GREY DOTS, WHEN I SPRAY REAL CLOSE I CREATE A FINGER SIZE LINE, BUT I CANT GET THAT LINE ALL THE TIME IS IT BECAUSE I NEED TO PRACTICE CANCONTROL? MY INDEX FINGER BE SORE? ANDBODY HAVE TIPS TO BEING CONSISTENT ?
