Hmm we've got 1 in my town and it's owned by the YMCA. So I imagine it wouldn't be. I don't really want to talk up to them and ask lol.

you'd be surprised how many people would be okay with you painting on their walls. The big key is to have a good portfolio of pics that show you can paint well. Also, a drawing on paper of what you want to paint comes in handy. Keep in mind that its a sales pitch, dress like a human being, not saggin drawers and sideways ballcap. Also, if its going to cost them anything it will be alot harder to convince them that it is worth their while. I found it alot easier to get legals when i was the one supplying the paint and all that. Nowadays, my portfolio speaks for itself and as a general rule the people that own the space are glad to buy the paint. But then, i am marketing it to them as opposed to asking for an opportunity. lol

Is there any areas or spots that you guys would recommend for noobs like me to kinda practice on?
Well not practice, but like areas where u know from expirenece that there is less chance of getting caught or areas where u have more time?

I don't think my tagging is that bad, like its not ugly, but its def not good enough to go and ruin the back wall of BEST BUY... thats for later.
Anyway, any "low-security", "Low-risk", "first-time", areas u would advice 2 hit first?
-Like on ur first night or something.

I'll have to check out the skate park later. I think there's a little. But there aren't a whole lot of graff writers where I live.

@Gonzo

What I'm going to do before I go out for the first time, is practice the throwie I want to do on cardboard until i can do it easily. Then find a really chill spot where there won't be any people around. Scout it out to see what kind of traffic goes by it. I might take a friend with me to keep watch.

It would be neat to see what everyone else has to say on the first time they went bombing.

What time do you think would be best to go out?

i remember my first time.. i was hella nervous.. but once i started spraying, i didnt think about getting caught..
me and my homie hit a really high spot.. not really a heaven spot.. cus if we fell we wouldn't have died.. but still.. it was pretty high..

and paintball.. if your going to do it.. don't go alone..always have at LEAST one other person with you.. but then again.. dont mob with a whole army by your side..




I'm cool like dat

I've never done this shit but I'm good at not getting caught. I figure I travel with my materials in the daytime and place them in the spot I want to tag(?). I'll use latex gloves too. Just in case. I could wrap up the cans in a box and pass it of as a birthday present for my cousin if I get interrogated. Ready for war b.

if you want some legal walls, go get permission at a small store, and go find spots where its so tagged up that they dont even care if you go and tag it a lil bit more, for example in chicago theres this spot they call the walls of grace or something like that and everybody goes practice and piece in there, and since a lot of writers go there to go over everybody, its easy to get up in there lol

you know your own city better then us... just go on a massive mission and look where writers have already painted, cause if they have painted there and got away with it chances are you will too...

Ok, I'm probably going to go out either tonight or tommorow, so that leaves me with 2 questions.

1.) Best time: It's either got to be late night, or early morning. I was thinking something like 2:00.

2.) If I've used one cap on a can with black paint, can i take the cap off that can and throw it on another can of a different color? I'I have a black can with a really wide cap. Kind of want to use it for my fill instead of a really thin cap.
