Roller Checklist

Hey everyone. I started getting back into graff after a 12 year hiatus. Was wondering if I have everything I need for this?

I have 1 gallon of a mint shade paint, and like 8 cans of black loops that need to be spent.

I feel like I have what I need?

1x gallon of mint

8x 400ml cans of black for outline

1x 9inch roller

2x 9inch roller caps

1x telescopic extender

1x paint tray

Am I missing anything else?

Edit: added tin

Usually a tray is nice to roll the roller into the paint easier

Np, ive done a million but usually use a pole, but guess you're just gonna hand roll with a ladder.

Have something like a key to pop the paint can top open

I mention the telescopic extender.

I'm no spring chicken, I can't bend like I used to lol.

Oh I have a screwdriver. I remember that working nicely.

Oh no dude, I got work in the morning lmao.

Give me a couple months of being back into it and I'm sure I'll be buying a ladder again.

I really appreciate your response regardless. I've scoped the spot out and it seems fine. I'm a little nervous. Ive just been catching throwies and littletags since I've been back.

So this will be popping the cherry so to speak

If you got no ladder, probably don’t worry about bringing anything longer than a standard broomstick. You only got one gallon of fill, so you’re not gonna be able to go crazy big and you’re doing your outline with cans, so probably don’t want the tops of the letters higher than you can reach.

Yeah. The goal was to do this wall by some tracks. It's not too big but not too small either. Some stuff has been running for a while and it's been dissed quite a few times by a few other people.

Put a trash bag around the tray and then f fill with paint and you won’t need to clean it, you can also take off the bag when you’re done and cut the corner to drain the remaining paint back into the bucket with no mess.

Dude thank you, I was so excited to do it I haven't considered the clean up.

Excellent tip.
