The good stuff, that is!
Here's a tip.
In this picture, you can see various brands of paint
Krylon, Montana, Belton to name some well know brands, and they all have their own ways of showing what colour the paint is. The most common way is to have the lid the same colour as the paint (like the Krylon Black). Or more modern tins have a collar on the top - again, the same colour as the paint.
So?........well its OK if you are looking at the tins in daylight. The lids look EXACTLY the same as the paint.
But....if you are painting at night, then things get weird.
The lids change colour due to the orange street lights in our streets, and then it gets hard to figure out what you are painting with, so this is what you do:
- Get rid of the lids - pretty much a waste of time anyway.
- keep the caps (or nozzles) seperate - you dont have a lid to protect it anyway, and you want to be using the most appropriate cap for the job anyway (thin (skinny) or wide (fat)).
- Get out your marker and write on the bottom like this:
NICE!
Now, you just gotta remember to fetch your sketch along with ya (not your black book, coz if you lose that!.....)
Thats pretty much it for this 1st tip.
But remember kids....keep it real...keep it legal!
(my mum would want me to say that....)
Soon...a video for ya! I'll show ya how to mix the paint in style and all Ninja like!
