They won't sell it at all?!? I know in some parts of Milwaukee (gang areas) they have the paint under lock and key and will only sell it to adults.

I don't shop the hardware stores and hobby shops in the city, especially after they raised their sales tax to the highest rate any where in the country. But that's my understanding.
Banned by the ****ty of chicago.

This is the same city that arrested a couple I knew years ago for the crime of operating business equipment in a residential area. They were professors at DeVry. Their crime: using an original TRASH-80 to write books at home.

And they want to hold the olympics here Will there be toll booths along the marathon route?

Default How to tell "old" vs "new"

Probably was mentioned but didn't see it ...

Is there an easy way to tell the difference between an old can and the newer stuff?

Thanks

Heh. Sort of like the state park entrance fee for NSL-2009.

As far as I can tell, the easiest way is to check the top. The old formular spray has a flat, circular top and the new stuff has a more cone shape with a much smaller circle on the top.

If you have the each of the cans in your hand, the easier one to open is the new stuff. At least they improved the way the tops come off. I had to sometimes strike the can top on the end of a chair or table to wack the top off. The new ones are given a slight squeeze at the top and it pulls right off.

It you aren't sure which is which, just look for the recoat times. The old stuff can be recoated at any time. The new stuff has to be sprayed within an hour or else you have to wait a week to recoat.

  1. The new Krylon labels have the paint color's name (and a representation of it), along with whether it is glossy, semi-gloss, satin or flat paint, shown prominently, front and center, on the label. This information is included in the design of the label. To verify the paint color on cans of the old Krylon, on the other hand, you have to look for a small printed label that is stuck somewhere on the back of the can that gives the color's name.
  2. The cap's color is an approximation, but only an approximation, of the true color of the paint on the old Krylon. While this is still true with the new version, there is a better indication of the color included in the design of the label itself. The colored area surrounding the name on the label of the new stuff is a better representation of the true color of the paint in the can.
  3. As noted before, the caps on cans of the new stuff are cup-shaped.
  4. Also, although many of the classic Krylon paint colors remain, and are still called by their original names, Krylon has introduced many new colors that have much more descriptive names, like "Bubble Gum" (i. e., pink) and "Leather Boots" (deep brown).
The combination of these two last two colors evokes fond memories from way back, by the way, but the memories were of something completely different from paint.
