Hello,

I have some spare jeans and i want to spray them with my metalic blue, black and white spray.

Just one problem, i dont just want to squirt the crap and see what happens i want them to look 'alright' and maybe feature my name.

How do you reccomend the best way to go about this is?

Thanks
 
I was thinking that, make one in PS - print it, cut it out.

But the paint IMO will bleed and will make it useless, or am i incorrect?

You want your jeans to say 'Chris' on them? Spray painted on? Any particular reason?

No my nickname, they are good jeans. I dress hip hop, and its all about individual style and new things.

Beats buying 'hip hop' stuff from JD sports and wearing them, like every other person.

All bout the imports and customs round my end :D
 
Ah, I see :)

Maybe the paint won't bleed so much if you just apply very thin coats several times, letting it dry between each? You could test out how it might work out on an old unwanted pair of jeans if you have any? I don't know how hard wearing the paint would be though, e.g. in the wash.
 
If spray painting is not hip hop, i must tell all of the graffiti kats they doing something wrong.

Designing them with a nice style/font etc will look awesome.

Maybe you think spary painting jeans aint hip hop because you aint seen 50 cent or em rocking them? :)

Doo;

Yeah, ill give it a go :)

About the wash thing, its aight, i will only wear them once or twice im hoping to get some Nike stussys so i will make em' match

Thanks
 
Neither eminem nor 50 cent are hip-hop. They are RAP.
But none the less. Graffiti is one of the elements. Spraying tat on your old jeans isnt.

P.s, I scratch your city up dude, so dont talk to me about elements :p :D ;) .
 
Go on why not. That's what i'm saying. To me, hip-hop is dj vadim, kurtis blow and tribe called quest etcetc. Constantly rapping about popping pills and worrying more about how much gold you have around your neck isnt hip-hop in its true sense. Same goes for spray painting jeans. I didnt mean to pass comment on you as a person br0, merely saying that it isnt hip-hop (apart from maybe the beastie boys might have done it for a laugh at some point).
 
I remember back in the late 80's me and my brother doing something like what you want to do. And No it wasent Hip-hop it was the breakdancers that started the painted jeans, as it removed a lot a friction whilst performing.

Benneh.. I could not agree more these "new" types of hip-hop are not even gangster (as in Public Enemy and Wu-Tang) related hip-hop, always talking about how much money/women/drugs/cars/bling they got is just not needed.

Go Search for some Blackalicious or Quannum, hell even some Public Enemy and DMC then maybe you can say you know some hip-hop atrists that are worth there while. none of this biatches and hoe's rubbish.

On jeans, the spray paint (if it's car paint for example) shouldn't bleed. It will set hard however, so I'd advise spraying a very thin coat to give the material a slight tint rather than a block of colour. If you're fabric painting, it will probably bleed and look crap. You'll also need to be careful when washing them, as I don't know how colourfast car spray paint is.

Rap went downhill when this crap started :(

If you spray light dust coats from a distance it shouldn't bleed into the fabric. You basically don't want too much of the thinners to reach the fabric and what does get there you want to dry quick.
 
hey,

the best way to go with spraying jeans are using airbrush but those can be quite expensive. the other way is, as mentioned, using stencil but use card instead of paper as the paint might go through(happened to me whilst stenciling a shirt :( ). i havent spray painted jeans but when i do t-shirts i find that on the first wash the colours would fade out a little but after the first wash its doesnt wash off.
