    ya.. first put in the two colors in solid.. then get one color and spray not too close. jus enough to mist over good enough. Then get the Other color an again.. spray not too close. just enough to mist over the first coat of mist...

    you see no difference in the cap itself? or the line its making..

    NY style caps look similar to some stocks, but the lines they make are different

    I tried using Painters Touch with NY Fats. The Paint comes out shitty and drips like 50% onto the ground. What am I doing wrong? Is the paint too thin?

    if half of your paint ends up dripping to the floor you are either:

    a-moving too slow.
    b-holding the can to close to the wall.
    c-both.

    use wal-mart cans until you get some can control, then move up to better paint. i think braine or someone told you this exact same thing when you asked in another thread.

    I Like using pink dots to fill the insides of letters, but usually I swith to a Rusto for the inside edges, just because pink dots spew paint like crazy and it will make your edges all sloppy and fuzzy. Oh yeah, german outlines are mad good.

    Also could be that your using that "painters touch" brand. I tried it out back when I first started painting, but its way to runny and different caps dont fit on it well, so paint usually sprays out of the seams.

    heres a tip for fades, handed down to me from someone who saw me doing a shitty fade:

    pretend the fade is top to bottom, its easier to explain
    fill the letter to where you want the fade, lets say fill your letter half with orange at the bottom
    fill the top half with solid white, as you get to where you want to blend to the orange, instead of pointing the can directly at the wall, point nearly straight down and hold the can a little farther from the wall
    the mist+angle gives you a great blend, and its not hard to do on nearly all angles and sizes depending on caps

    this works with stock, ny thins, and ny fats on rustoleum.

    ny fats are by a wide margin the best cap on rustoleum on bricks.

    ny thins are actually fatter than stock caps.
    they are called thins because they get thin, CRISP lines.
    try making a line with a ny thin, and a stock cap with the same paint, at the same distance from the surface.
    ny thin is going to be bigger, but stock cap lines are irregular, soft, and generally difficult to properly control.



    all rustoleum leaks with most caps. its the way it works
    caps that work with rustoleums current lines:
    ny thins, ny fats, RUSTO fats, stock caps, gold+grey dots if you mod them correctly.

    rustoleum is not thin, it is the pressure and valving that make it leak, not how thin the paint is. honestly, claret wine is the worst rustoleum color i have ever used, and it still covers better than most other brands.

    if anyone wants pictures of this blending technique, i can TRY to get some soonish, not necesarily today.

    short of using a euro brand paint, rusto is the best. its thick, has good coverage and is cheap.( 3$ a can over here, 2.45 for black,white and primers). i've never gotten drips unless i wanted them. remember the writers of the newyork subway era had only american paint and ny style caps!
