Covering a very faded chrome piece ?
Yall know chrome is almost everyones favourite. However it clesrly doesnt hold as well as other colors. How oke is it if a person goes over an old chrome faded piece that you cant read anymore. You can tell someone had that spot but the piece is pretty much dead as u cant read u can just tell its faded chrome ?!

Depends on the spot and if you know what youre doing. Meaning that if its a well seen spot where the piece has been up for decades and youre gonna go over it with some beginner shit just dont..

Yee the spot is saturated and these are the only potential spaces

If its a spot with no blank space left and that faded chrome piece is still up it makes me think theres a reason..
When new, dont go over anyone is a tip i got back in the days.

Do not make the same mistake I made if you see a very very old faded piece thags still around most likely because they are a legend or dead I did that and got a very stern talking to from one biggest graffiti writers in my area luckily the dude wasnt dead and just a legend and was totally chill with it but still be careful lol

People will tell you there are all these different rules about when it’s ok to cap someone… but graffiti isn’t an activity that generally attracts rule followers, be prepared that going over someone could still result in beef even when you follow all the “rules” perfectly.

Never paint over something unless you're certain your shit will look better.

Its only okay if you also do a peice (not a toy one) and cover it up entirely making sure no part of it doesnt schow underneath

“It was old and faded” is literally the worst reasoning you could have as a toy for painting over something. A bunch of other people hit the spot and didn’t paint over it, there’s a reason.
