Great video. I'm not an artist myself but been graffiti hunting for a while and it is always cool to understand the tools of the craft and the technique behind the murals. Thanks for sharing this!
Right on man. Respect. I always like to check these videos because you would be surprised how many people really are very much beginers themselves yet they are trying to make these videos and really are not saying much. When I started painting in the early 80s there was no graff paints, no low pressure cans and we mostly used modified stock caps for outlines. To kill the pressure of our outline cans we flipped the can and let out some of the pressure without the paint coming out. Its not an exact science though if u let out to much you have paint left without enough pressure but for Krylon or rusto back then that was the trick. I also never hear anybody even master painters talk about the numbers for the cone concave on the front of every cap there is. most dont even understand that. If u look on every cap there is there are usually 2 numbers that are raised on the plastic front of the cap on the circle. They tell you the cone of the tip. lets say 2 and 8 . that means at the biginning of the bottom of the caps inside diameter the paint starts at a 2 pressure and then flares at an 8 diameter at the exit. that makes every lets say skinny grey dot like you said you use different as to the pressure . that will for sure change how 5 of the same cap work. Dont worry I know you never heard of it before almost nobody gets that. Trust and believe thats the truth. check it out. You teach that i bet you anything nobody else ever did a video on that. coming up in nyc in the beginning you learn many inside golden tips. I like the way you executed this video . respect my gift to u. look into it . check your tips u will see.
Hey man, that's awesome, you're right, I never knew that about the numbers on the caps. Thanks for sharing, glad you enjoyed the video. I don't really upload to this channel anymore but do check it every now and then. I made most of these videos years back when I was much less experienced. I feel like I could do a much better job now at most of them, but just don't have the time!
Man, I gotta say the tip about cooling the can was a life saver. I was getting so frustrated because I was having a hard time getting a clean line with a Montana level 2 cap on a Gold can. I keep my cans in the garage, which were im at gets pretty warm, and the cans themselves are definitely warm to the touch, I had never thought about the fact that the paint was thinning out from the heat which is were my problem lies!
they mean to turn the can upside down and spray out the propellant in the can. you'll see paint come out at first, then it'll turn clear; that's the propellant.
This only make it lower pressure for a few seconds, you’ll get a really skinny line because that’s the tiny bit of paint left in the straw, but once you turn it up right again and spray for a couple seconds the pressure will go back to normal.
another tip that I have found by myself is distance between can and wall. if you keep your can too far away from the wall it's going to be less paint applied to the wall, if you keep your can too close to the wall it's going to overspray a little, depends on your speed. you gotta find the right and comfortable distance for you to paint
That was very useful. I've been buying different tips to try... Finally narrowed it down to 2 tips. Glad to see someone else's art room as messy as mine👍. Keep it up bro...
sure do love being able to browse all the extra side video suggestions BEFORE the video you've selected finally gets to what you were looking for i.e. NOT MINDLESS YAMMERING >
Good video. You are doing a good job of explaining out things that people usually pick up through trial and lots of error. It will really help people up their game quicker having these tips. I am a bit biased because of being from the states but gotta give some screen time for Flame paint. Over here its the best price/performance bargain for real graff cans. Keep up the good videos.
Love the videos, incredibly helpful. I understand you have easy access to the amazing euro can and valves, but if you ever get the chanve make a tutorial about and with rusto or krylon for the silly Americans
The only store where i can buy spray paint has all the caps mixed up and im a total beginner so I have trouble telling apart fat caps from skinny caps, is there like, anything that visually makes them different from each other?
Beniek it’s hard to say, there’s such a big selection nowadays and some fats and skinny’s look the same! Buy a few and test them out, they’re only about 5p each here in the U.K.
Look at the nozzle on the bottom of the cap. The slit is much wider for fat caps and skinnier for skinny caps. Havent figured out how to tell on female caps
i do not know the difference between low and high pressure when it comes to spray paint cans but should i put it inside the freezer whether it is a low or high pres?
Yes the freezer trick will work on either one, as it thickens the paint. High and low pressure cans are down to the valve they have in them. One allows lots of paint to get out which results in a fatter line and faster coverage, whereas low pressure valves allow a softer flow of paint to come out so slower coverage but great for detail
Thanks, this is a great tutorial. A question: I use Rust-Oleum, mostly the 2x ones since it's what's available, any way for me to find out if it's high or low pressure?
thnx man, im 14 in almost 2 months, stayed at my god parents house, and they have a fucking container out the back they want me to make a design on! im so happy
I need help with my can control. What do i do when i miss a line when im doing a piece or somethin. The problem i have is when i stop i can't go back to that line
I would be careful if you put cans in the freezer... you can do that with montana and some others.... but lots of cans will just overkill... who doesnt remember good ol' sparvar cans in deep winter....
Really, just to shake your tins for a good 4-5 minutes prior to use can solve a lot of problems with drips/overspray... specially if your cans have been sitting around for a while..
That's something that will come with experience. When that happens though. Dont start exactly at the end of the line that you're on. Start a bit further back from where the line ends if that makes sense and follow it through from there.
Jimmy Dean it depends what future using them for mate, if you was using them just to spray something a certain colour like a car, then you need to warm them up, because it cases them to flow better. But if you need to put details or an outline on a piece of graff, then you want it nice and low pressure, so you put them in the fridge and it thickens the paint up. Spits a bit but self lowers the pressure 👍🏼 try it!
I just watched the Kobra paint Video where Kobra is showing off their paints and it seems like a really nice paint. Almost impossible to get drips and an excellent coverage. Also the valve seems to be really great to control. What do you think?
GFG Nickname_not_chosen I thought it was crap personally lol.. haven’t used the low pressure one yet though I’ll do a review on both soon. And also any paint brands advert is going to make the paint look good lol just remembers that
Yeah, of course, but I'll still give it a try :D I had some loop the other week but it was complete utter shite, it was runny and spitty as all hell. I also had Clash and Guerilla paint, both not very good. The Clash White doesn't cover at all and always spits out some clear stuff, even after shaking it for 10 mins and spraying away from the wall...
GFG Nickname_not_chosen yer well the normal kobra was similar to loop but more expensive. Runny, spits everywhere and more overspray than I’ve ever seen before..
Hello man i don't speak english very good but i have a question it's important to have skinny or large cap ? Or i can make a graffiti with just normal cap ?
You can make graffiti with any cap it doesn't matter. But it's easier to get skinny lines with a skinny cap and large lines with a fat cap. Just use what you have though man it's fine 🤙
I'm going to use the montana gold shock white and acid green to painty mountain bike frame, do I need to wait for the white to dry before applying the green? I don't want the paint to run and blend with white, I want it to be a vibrant green
My advice is to send the bike down first, them prime with the Montana metal primer, give a couple of light coats, leave it for a day to dry so that it's not tacky, then go onto that with a couple of light coats of the acid green. Use a nice soft cap rather than a skinny or fat cap. Like the one that comes with Montana Gold cans. Be patient, dont build up too many layers of paint too quickly otherwise it will run and also take ages to dry. Hope this helps 👍
@@GraffitiTutorials hey thank you so much for the reply. Ok so I'll primer the bike, spray 2-3 layers of the shock white then let it cure all the way, then sand with 800 grit and spray 2-3 coats of acid green and let dry for at least 24-48 hours then clear over it? Or should I clear it after 15 min of spraying last coat of green?
@@enigmaticreverieproduction5169 If the primer is white, then theres no need for the shock white? Leave plenty of drying time before putting the clear coat on too. Also, after sending it the first time, wash it down with some wax and grease remover.
@@GraffitiTutorials primer is beige that's why I was going to use the shock white as first base coat so I can get that pop for the acid green. Should I wait for base coats to cure completely and sand before clear
@@enigmaticreverieproduction5169 the montana universal primer is white, I'm not sure if its suitable for metal but if its "universal" it should be fine. Just leave a day or so in between each coat and you should be fine. A light sand with some fine grit sand paper should be fine
Loop is actually not low pressure And you forgett flame blue for low pressure But yes that where some nice tips! Also get close to the wall But for high pressure The cans are not really HP They are "high Output" Wich means you can get reaally thin lines with a skinny cap and reaally fat ones with fat caps For example try kobra or flame orange or the montana black with a skinny cap The real HP cans are the 600ml (or bigger) cans and i think mtn speed as well
MrRob91rs it’s literally just ply wood attached to my fence mate, primed it once before the first piece. Try it out, cheap as chips and lasts a couple years
Blackbookology did you message me in the end lol? If so I’m sorry I haven’t seen it yet. If you need to contact me then message me through Facebook. Link in description.
It means the amount of control that you have over the can, the greater the can control you have, the better your art will look. With good can control you will be able to achieve cleaner lines and special effect. With bad can control your work wont look clean and will be very drippy and messy.
Hey, I'm the neighbour, stop spraying in my garden! Just kidding, nice tutorial mate.

been a long time since I painted last... never even thought about dticking cans in the fridge and other bits. wicked tutorial.
I made my first wall piece yesterday and I was struggling with my outline… Thanks for your video, I’ll keep those tips in mind 🤘
also to lower the pressure flip the can and spray for 12 seconds
What do you mean by "fliping the can"?
they mean to turn the can upside down and spray out the propellant in the can. you'll see paint come out at first, then it'll turn clear; that's the propellant.
thanks

nice one good advice
Hope some listen and try to learn
❤ Greattttt tutorial dude, one question, what are those black boards youre spraying on? Im keen to do the same in my garden.
Marine ply wood will do the trick. Prime it first with exterior primer.
These are literally nowhere found in the US. However, decent tutorial on caps and stans.
A budget low pressure posing is kobra LP or kobra low
kobra low pressure spray pretty nice in my opinion
