[Bill Howell]

This is my favorite angle. Looks sinister. The graffiti is different and pretty cool.

I'm guessing the mirrors are off of a sport bike.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

very good eye Tony!

:lmao:

[Scott Parkhurst]

It'd have a lot more 'pop' if the tires were smokin'- the graphics are pretty wild for the car to be sitting still.

I'm digging the concept!

[novaderrik]

the wall looks like the side of a train car..

[Ralph LoGrasso]

Very cool, Amir. Looks awesome!

[shmoov69]

So, your building or are you a street thug?! Lol!

Very cool tho!

[WS6]

How long did it take to make the graphic, Amir? Any tips to seeing it correctly? I'm having a hard time reading it quickly. It usually takes me a little bit to make the letters out. Some of your other work I can't even begin to see correctly.

Good idea using sport bike mirrors ont he car. That was my first guess as well.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

So, your building or are you a street thug?! Lol!

Very cool tho!

nah im no street thug.. at least not anymore.
Im actually a nice guy!.. if you can get past how i look. LOL!

The wall is at one of our warehouses.. all legal!

[Shiro666]

Great work, Mr. V.

Love the car and the artwork.

A while back you were working on a GTO with a rattle-can satin paint job. There were some questions about the technique used and you mentioned that skill with spray cans can only be acheived through technique and pratice. Could you perhaps give us some tips on Rattle Can Kung-Fu? Are these trade secrets?

Thanks,

Shiro

[jy211]

nice bombing...

[Damn True]

Dig the car.


The "bomb" is a little too authentic to be easily legible by us "squares".

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

ahahha

But i love you guys so i wanted to introduce you squares to the madness i call my daily life.. which is a graffiti artist.

and Shiro

the tip to painting a car "flat black" is to choose this paint..
https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2008/12/RustoleumBlackSatinEnamel-1.jpg

1. prep the surface.. prime, sand with like 6-800 grit sandpaper..
2. take out the can and shake for exactly 60 seconds.
3. turn the can over with the nozzle upside down and let out 120 seconds of air.. (this is so you have some control over the amount of spray coming out)
4. buy a can of "elmers glue spray adhesive" and take off the cap that looks like this.. you can take off the orange top and see if this cap is on there.. make sure it has an orange face.. we call these caps "rusto fatcaps" they spray extra wide, with a misted spray.. rather than the traditional cap that is on the cans.. which spray in a hairy "dot"
https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2009/08/rustoFat_large-1.jpg

5. Spray.. make LARGE left to right strokes that feather off on the ends..
the last thing you want to do is at the end of the stroke to make a long stop.. paint will gob up and drip.. feather off like you are dusting.

Make sure that you are not TOO close to the panel when painting.. about 5 to 6 inches distance is appropriate.

when you make strokes make sure each line is overlapped by a half of a stroke.. at first you will see SLIGHT drying streaks.. but the one
thing that is different about Rustoleum is that it dries SLOWER than other paints.. so it will even out VERY nicely.. but keep it in a place that
wont get too much debris.. not very necessary but it helps a bit..

(Hint).. you can do a light tack spray and then go over it heavier but it isnt very necessary.

I go the expanse of the car rather than panel by panel.. but you can do either.. ive done both with similar results.

should look like this.. and i painted it in my parking spot out in the open..

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2008/12/3108394690_d2f44371ce_o-1.jpg

to get good at it i suggest practicing on an spare panel or just pull your balls out of your pelvis and go for it..

and thats it.. Mr. Totem's flat black instructional post!

for any questions hit me with an IM.

[Shiro666]

Thanks for the how-to, Mr. V.

[moreHP]

cool new info that I might just have to try on something!

[Blitz]

I like it. Nice tutorial.

[DriverzInc]

Word!

[Nessumsar]

Vengeance, how many cans did it take you to paint your Goat, and what paint is that exactly?
It looks really stellar!

And your graffiti is awesome, I haven't seen a whole lot of it; but for what I have seen, you do amazing work!

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

it took exactly 5 cans of paint to pull it off.. cheap!

thanks Jon.. im trying to get around.

[Tony_SS]

I can't believe you spray bombed that GTO.. that's looks great.. not that any tiger stripes would've been out of place.. harhar lol

[Smock67]

Nice tagging, and the camaro looks sweet as well nice, clean and subtle.

I can draw graffiti and use different mediums but never really tried spraying which is really weird i know. Anyways thanks for the spraying technique I'll be remembering that for sure.

[Yelcamino]

Awesome! So talented!! I wish I could do it! If you're ever in the Northern VA area, I'll buy you a beer if you feel like tagging the inside of my garage! :cheers:

[Blitz]

That'd be pretty cool.

[rickk]

like it.
rick k:idea:

[shortrack]
