if you're going to risk the possbile charges that could come with shoplifting, you might as well go for the best paint they have on the shelf. racking dollar cans is like car jacking Geo Metro owners

I guess, we usually have a combination though.

I love dollar cans and stock tippin the more I do it the better my can control gets... then when you cop that pricey sh*t you will have the can control and skill to know what your doing.

Its dollar paint and if it looks like sh*t it validates the point why I should be using cheap sh*t. 2 dollars or 15 for 2 cans of pricey sh*t ... I never claimed it to look good im learning and I have see plenty worse than me. But keep on trollin that seems to be your sole purpose here looking at your post count.

Me telling you your sh.it looks terrible isn't trolling when it's 100% genuine. The whole "it's dollar cans" cop out doesn't work because no ones graffiti should look that poorly executed. I've seen brazillians paint throws with blood and sh.it that looks cleaner than that, Kato shi.tting in a sock and doing tags was cleaner than that. You have decent letters, that's why you half assing a throw bothered me. Even toys know to at least fill in correctly and make the drop shadow solid. You ignoring basic techniques in painting let's me know 99% of your career has been spent in a book biting letters, afraid of looking toy on the streets. You can't skip steps nigga. I'm here to help and give criticism in my own way, it's your choice to acknowledge it or hide behind your retarded "He's just a troll!" emotional shield.

Understandable if you were to give me crits even in your assholish way I would have accepted that rather than just saying it was horrible and leaving it at that. I know I need to learn alot and experience using the can will do more than any conversation ever will . There are so many ppl trollin on forums it's hard to know the difference. It was my first time using stock tips so the black was a bit more runny than the primer which is probably because my sh*tty can control. I was far from satisfied and I did post the pic in the toy box because I know that is what it is. I am open to any suggestions or crits to help me get better now that I understand your approach toward us toys isn't ass kissing I respect that.

Everything has its place, man. Those sh*tty $1 cans (what up quikcolor flat black?) are good for menial sh*t like stencils and crossouts. Why buy a $7 can if half of it's going to be sprayed on the edges of a cereal box?
And as far as racking cheap paint, why? If you're not paying, why get the cheap sh*t? Coz it's not in the paint cage? f*ck that, roll over to the broom section, grab one, and just knock them off the shelf and catch them at the bottom.

using dollar paint sucks even for stencils, wet leaky edges and drips and sh*t. it's also not good for crossing ppl out, unless your some b*tch who won't sign it when you hack. i'd also like to add that stencils are not gay, but a lot of the college art fags who do them are. i've seen some good use of stencils, including but not limited to using them on fills when piecing.
