well if you are gonna light your piece **piece meanng a nice ass, time consuming piece** pretty much everything except for the last layer you put on would be dry, so your piece wouldnt start on fire...just the little touchups you did last would shits stupid, pointless, dont do it
ive never lit a graff piece but i have lit paint on some of my pieces for design class heres what ive found. -it only works on super wet like dripping pools of paint -the result is some bubling where the fire started but a cool smoke effect after it all burns -the more ridges or curves in the surface the cooler the effect as the smoke runs along the wall
if you worked that hard on it why would you do it? your just sayin"this took me about an hour, hey i think i'll flame it so it will be completely ruined." thats like creating a cure for cancer and throwing it in the trash.
ill have to post pictures of the project i did, your paint doesnt burn off it just gets a smoke pattern tint over it. it looks really cool it be worth a test on a quick throwup
they probably did it to be supah bad ass and totally awesome. it doesnt really do anything. they just wanted to look cool on film. cause everyone knows fire is awesome =)
Haha... go right ahead and get drilled by every person on this site and for the dude who posted above me, it was sarcasm... and its Tade, not Trade. no R.
No U Toy. Grab Paint(anytoyass Color).. And Some Damn paint Thinner.. [/b][/quote] yeah right im a toy... but you forgot a mom joke to complete the post! acid, it is clearly written in trade's signature... are you really that retarded?
actualy if you make that "smoke efect" when burning piece.. theres one problem.. you can rub that smoke of with your hand :lol:
actually, if you do it when the paint is still wet, you cant rub it out, at least not with just water. i dont know about if the paint isnt wet
i think this can make it cure faster but it would look like crap or just make the paint less resistant because the chemicals dont have the time to cure they just... burn sometimes we forget paint is a chemical reaction
dude, i swear to god, all you have to do is make a hollow throw on the ground with something highly flammable that comes out of an aerosol, light it on fire with a match.
Well great movie... But, I don`t believe that lighting your piece on fire will make it better... They did it for the joke, a masterpiece is also called BURNER...and Fire Burns get it?
I used to do it to dry the fills in throwies. Basically it just burns the solvent off drying the piece quicker than if it was to air dry (avoiding any runs). As long as the paint isn't on too thick it wont bubble and if you put it on just right then it will not ignite because the solvent will have already evaporated and the paint dryed.
has anyone ever seen that video of cope 2? he made this amazing piece and than just came up 2 seconds later and did a 5 minute throwup on it. so i think theres really no reason to burn your pieces cept to look like a badass. or dry the paint faster like wolsley said above.
