allright the best way is to get with others who do graffiti. it is the easiest way to learn techniques. if you do not have those with the skills around you then you have to do a lot of exploration on your own. some good sites to get supplies to start of are bombingscience.com and artprimo.com. they sell caps and high quality montana spray paint. when starting you probably wouldnt want to use montana since its expensive and its just a shame to waste unless you are doing a good peice. as far as how to there isnt any books that teach you how to do it and there isnt and instructional sites on the internet. the best one that teaches you some graf techniques are artisgod.com but it doesnt really give you any spraypaint techniques. it is a good site that can give you a lot of information though. so what i suggest is to go grap a 4'x8' piece of plywood from homedepot and some cheap wal-mart paints to get started. you can also but some caps from the sites i mentioned earlier to help you out. the rusto fat cap works well w/ the walmart paint to give you a thicker line. also get a skinny cap. the best that i like is the german outline. that works well too w/ the walmart brand and pretty much any spray paint. so just practice and practice and play with that paint in your garage till you get comfortable with it. learn what you can do with the paint and dont be afraid to try new things with it. its the only way to learn and always push yourself to get better. graffiti is always about outdoing the competion. good luck and happy painting.

First, buy a hospital insurance policy.

If I catch you harming my property, you will discover how good it is.

professor wonderful is a fruit first you have to buy some spray paint caps which come in different sizes from skinny lines to fat lines you do outlines with the skinnys and fill it in with a fat but i recommend just using a N.Y. Fat best tips ohhh and its real easy just try not to drip alot email me if you need any more help salvadorreyessalcedo@yahoo.com by the way tidy boy your doing it the hard way all you do is do the outline and then fill it in with the same color and then you outline with a different color because if you out line first and then fill in with another color you can accidently go over your outline which means youll have to do it again and its way faster

Yeah the first guy is a loser. Anyway, one method I use, and a lot of people use is what I like to call "dynamic stencilling". Say you need to colour in an outline, well, using a piece of cardboard to cover the outline bit by bit, you can colour in the outline without going out of the outline and ruining it. This is kinda tricky as sometimes you may need a curved piece of cardboard, but you only have a square piece. So you can just tear it into shape or cut it or whatever, just carry some cardboard with you. Takes practice and getting the hang of it. I'm still pretty rubbish at it.
